Age Limit

- The applicable portion of the examination fee is refundable after appearing in the first-stage CBT, subject to deduction of bank charges and fulfilment of RRB conditions.
Selection Process
- Computer-Based Tests: Candidates first appear for CBT-I, followed by CBT-II. The second-stage examination includes Part A and the trade-related Part B, with Part B being qualifying in nature under the prescribed rules.
- Computer-Based Aptitude Test: Candidates shortlisted from CBT-II are called for the CBAT. This stage applies to Assistant Loco Pilot recruitment, and candidates must meet the qualifying standard in each test battery. Negative marking is generally not applied in CBAT.
- Document Verification and Medical Examination: Candidates qualifying in CBAT are considered for document verification. Final appointment is subject to verification of original certificates, prescribed railway medical fitness, eyesight standards and vacancy availability.
The CBT-II result PDF does not by itself guarantee appointment. Shortlisting remains provisional until all eligibility, identity, document and medical requirements are successfully verified.
