RRB ALP City Intimation Slip 2026 — Latest Update (As on 24 October 2026)

The CBT 1 exam will be held on 3, 4 and 5 November 2026. This is a big exam, because 11,127 Assistant Loco Pilot posts are being filled, and lakhs of candidates are appearing. One report says about 8.4 lakh applications were received, so competition is tough.

Please remember one important thing: the city slip is not your admit card. It only tells you the city so you can plan your travel. The exact exam centre address, reporting time and your photo will be on the admit card, which is expected about 4 days before your exam.

• One valid original photo ID (for example Aadhaar, Voter ID, PAN, Passport or Driving Licence) as mentioned in the admit card instructions
• Any other document mentioned in your admit card
• Do not carry mobile phone, smart watch, calculator, Bluetooth devices, notes or bags into the exam hall
• Wear simple clothes and follow the dress and security rules written on the admit card

Travel and Stay Plan — Do It Now

• Check your exam city and exam date on the slip today
• Book train tickets as early as possible. Many candidates travel for railway exams, and tickets fill fast
• If your exam is on 3 November, you should arrive in the city by 1 or 2 November
• Book a safe and cheap stay near a railway station or near the main road if you can
• Keep extra time for travel on the exam day, because city traffic can be heavy
• After the admit card comes, check the exam centre address on a map and plan the route
• Keep your admit card and ID in a folder and keep extra copies

Last Days Preparation Plan — CBT 1

• Mathematics: Revise number system, percentage, ratio and proportion, time and work, time-speed-distance, profit and loss, average, algebra and geometry basics
• Reasoning: Practise analogies, series, coding-decoding, blood relations, direction sense, Venn diagrams, syllogism and statement-conclusion
• General Science: Revise Class 9–10 level Physics, Chemistry and Biology — especially topics linked to everyday life
• General Awareness / Current Affairs: Revise important current affairs of the last 6 months and basic railway-related knowledge, if it is in your syllabus
• Take one full mock test of 75 questions in 60 minutes every day for the last 7 days
• Note your mistakes, and revise only weak topics in the last 2 days
• Because of 1/3 negative marking, attempt only the questions you are fairly sure about

Exam Day Tips

• Reach the exam centre much before the reporting time. Gate closing time is strict
• Carry your admit card and original ID, and keep them ready for checking
• Read the instructions carefully on the computer screen before you start
• Start with your strong subject and do the easy questions first. Do not waste time on one hard question
• Keep checking the timer, and keep the last 5 minutes for review
• Avoid blind guessing because of negative marking
• Stay calm. Take deep breaths if you feel nervous

Common Problems and Easy Solutions

• Slip says “not live yet”: Your exam date has a later release date. Check the date-wise table and try again on your day
• Login error: Check your registration number and date of birth format. Remove extra spaces
• Website slow: Many candidates log in together. Try early morning or late at night
• Wrong details on the slip: Contact your RRB through the official grievance channel with proof
• Exam city is far from my home: A city change option is not mentioned in the sources we checked. Follow only the official notice
• Applied to a different RRB than expected: You can apply to only one RRB. Check the RRB name and city on your slip carefully

Important Warnings

• Download the slip only from the official portal rrb.digialm.com or your regional RRB website
• Do not trust anyone who promises a railway job for money, a “paper leak” or “sure selection”. Railway recruitment is free of such payments
• Do not share your registration number, date of birth or OTP with unknown people
• Do not treat the city slip as an entry pass. You need the admit card and a valid photo ID
• Dates and rules can change. Check the RRB websites regularly
