RRB ALP Psycho Test Result 2025 Declared: Check T-Score, Merit Calculation & Next Steps
RRB ALP CBAT Result 2025: What’s Next? A Complete Guide to Document Verification & Medicals – For the thousands of aspirants in the final laps of the marathon that is the Railway Recruitment Board (RRB) Assistant Loco Pilot (ALP) selection process, today marks a moment of decisive truth. The RRBs have officially declared the results for the Computer-Based Aptitude Test (CBAT), also known as the Psycho Test, which was conducted on August 31, 2025. This result is the penultimate hurdle in a long and arduous journey to secure one of the most critical and respected operational roles in Indian Railways.
The role of an Assistant Loco Pilot is not just a job; it is a massive responsibility that involves the safety of thousands of passengers and valuable freight. For this reason, the selection process goes beyond mere academic knowledge, culminating in the CBAT—a specialized psychometric evaluation designed to identify candidates with the specific cognitive and psychological attributes required to pilot a train.
The results, which were declared today, October 1, 2025, are now available on the official websites of the respective RRBs. This ultimate guide will provide a comprehensive deep dive into every aspect of this crucial result. We will explain how to check your score, decode the complex scoring of the CBAT, and provide a detailed roadmap for the final, and equally challenging, stages of Document Verification (DV) and the stringent A-1 Medical Examination.
A Deep Dive into the Computer-Based Aptitude Test (CBAT)
Before you check your score, it’s essential to understand what the CBAT was designed to measure. Unlike the CBT-1 and CBT-2, which test your knowledge, the CBAT is a psycho-technical test that assesses your innate aptitude for the job of a Loco Pilot. It is a series of timed tests, known as “test batteries,” each designed to evaluate a specific cognitive skill.
The Key Skills Assessed in the Test Batteries:
- Memory Test: Evaluates your ability to quickly memorize and recall visual information, such as the layout of railway tracks or the position of signals.
- Following Directions Test: Assesses your ability to understand and execute instructions accurately and swiftly, a critical skill when responding to signals and commands.
- Depth Perception Test: Measures your ability to judge distances between objects, which is crucial for a Loco Pilot to correctly perceive the distance of signals or obstacles on the track.
- Concentration Test: This test assesses your ability to maintain focus and attention on a specific task while ignoring distractions, a vital skill for monitoring the control panel for extended periods.
- Perceptual Speed Test: Evaluates how quickly and accurately you can compare patterns and identify similarities or differences, which relates to the rapid identification of signals and signs.
The T-Score Explained: The Make-or-Break Factor
A simple raw score does not judge your performance in each of these batteries. Instead, it is converted to a standardized “T-Score,” which has a mean of 50 and a standard deviation of 10. The most critical rule of the CBAT is that a candidate must secure a minimum T-score of 42 in each and every one of the test batteries.
This means that even if you score exceptionally well in four out of five batteries but score 41 in the fifth, you will be disqualified from the selection process. This strict, non-negotiable criterion is in place to ensure that every selected ALP has the minimum required aptitude in all the essential cognitive domains.
How to Check Your Result and Scorecard: A Meticulous Walkthrough
Candidates can check both the list of shortlisted candidates and their individual, detailed scorecard online.
- Visit Your Regional RRB Website: You must visit the official website of the RRB zone from which you applied (e.g.,
rrbchennai.gov.in,rrbmumbai.gov.in,rrbald.gov.in). - Find the CEN 01/2024 Section: On the homepage, locate the section or link dedicated to the “CEN 01/2024 (ALP & Technician)” recruitment.
- Download the Shortlist PDF: The first link you should look for will be titled something like, “List of Candidates Shortlisted for Document Verification (DV) based on their performance in CBAT.” This is a PDF document containing the roll numbers of all the candidates who have qualified. Download this file and use the search function (Ctrl+F) to check for your roll number.
- Access the Scorecard Link: Go back to the homepage or the CEN 01/2024 section and find the second, more important link, titled “Click here to view Scorecard for Computer-Based Aptitude Test (CBAT).”
- Log In: Clicking this link will take you to a login page. You will need to enter your Registration Number and your Date of Birth (as a password) to log in.
- View and Download Your Scorecard: Your detailed CBAT scorecard will be displayed. This is a crucial document that you must download and print for your records. The link will only be active until October 15, 2025.
Troubleshooting Common Issues:
- “Website is Slow or Unresponsive”: This is very common on the result day due to heavy traffic. Please wait and try the site during off-peak hours.
- “Invalid Credentials”: Double-check your registration number and ensure you are entering your Date of Birth in the correct DDMMYYYY format.
Decoding Your CBAT Scorecard: A Detailed Breakdown
Your scorecard contains a wealth of information. Here’s how to understand it:
- Personal Details: Your Name, Roll Number, and Registration Number.
- Table of Test Batteries: You will see a table listing the different test batteries. For each battery, it will show:
- Raw Score: Your actual score in that test.
- T-Score: Your normalized score out of 80.
- Qualifying Status: A “Pass” or “Fail” status for that individual battery. To qualify, this must be “Pass” for all batteries.
- Composite T-Score: This is your final, overall score in the CBAT.
- Overall Qualifying Status: The final “Qualified” or “Not Qualified” status for the CBAT stage.
The Final Merit Calculation (70:30 Weightage)
Your final selection for the ALP post is not based on the CBAT score alone. The final merit list is prepared by giving 70% weightage to your marks in Part A of the Second Stage CBT and 30% weightage to your composite score in the CBAT.
The formula is: Final Merit Score = (Marks in CBT-2 Part A × 0.7) + (Composite CBAT Score × 0.3)
This means a strong performance in your technical paper (CBT-2) is just as important as your aptitude score.
The Final Hurdles: A Guide to Document Verification (DV) and the A-1 Medical Test
For the candidates whose roll numbers are on the shortlist, the final two stages are Document Verification (DV) and the Medical Examination.
Document Verification (DV)
The RRBs will soon announce a schedule for DV. You will be required to report to the specified railway office with all your original documents for verification.
Essential Documents Checklist:
- All educational certificates and marksheets (10th, ITI/Diploma).
- Official identity proof (Aadhaar Card, Voter ID).
- Valid Caste Certificate (SC/ST/OBC-NCL) in the prescribed Central Government format.
- EWS Certificate, if applicable.
- Printout of your original RRB ALP application form.

The A-1 Medical Examination: The Strictest Standard
This is the final and often the most challenging hurdle for ALP aspirants. The A-1 Medical Standard is the highest and most stringent in Indian Railways.
- Vision Test: This is the most critical component. A candidate must have 6/6 vision in both eyes without wearing glasses. There is no relaxation in this standard. You must also pass tests for color vision, binocular vision, night vision, and field of vision.
- General Physical Fitness: Other tests will be conducted to ensure you are physically fit, with no major health issues.
A senior official from the Railway Recruitment Board stated, “The CBAT and A-1 Medical standards are non-negotiable for the role of an Assistant Loco Pilot. These processes are in place to ensure that the individuals we select possess the inherent aptitude and physical fitness required to safely operate our trains. We congratulate all the candidates who have made it to the DV list and urge them to prepare meticulously for this final stage.”
The declaration of the CBAT result is a moment of immense significance. It marks the culmination of a rigorous testing process and brings successful candidates one step closer to their dream of joining the Indian Railways.
