How to Calculate RRB ALP CBT-1 Score 2026
As covered in our admit card article, the ALP CBT-1 is generally a 60-minute test of 75 questions carrying 1 mark each, with one-third mark deducted for each wrong answer. Please confirm the marking scheme in the CEN 01/2026 notification. Based on this pattern, the score can be calculated as follows:
| Response | Marks |
|---|---|
| Correct answer | +1 |
| Wrong answer | −1/3 |
| Not attempted | 0 |
Formula: Raw score = Number of correct answers − (Number of wrong answers ÷ 3)
Example: If you got 55 right and 12 wrong, your raw score is 55 − 4 = 51 out of 75.
Since the CBT-1 was held over several shifts, RRB may normalise the marks before the result. Your final score may therefore differ slightly from the raw score.
What After RRB ALP Answer Key 2026?
After the objection window closes, the RRBs will review all objections. The decision of the RRBs is final, and no further correspondence will be entertained. The final answer key and CBT-1 result will be announced later, and candidates shortlisted from CBT-1 will be called for CBT-2. We will update the result on our sarkari result page.
