RRB Activates Assistant Loco Pilot CBT Response Review Window
The Railway Recruitment Boards (RRBs), operating under the Ministry of Railways, have officially announced the opening of a crucial review window for candidates who appeared in the Computer Based Test (CBT) for Assistant Loco Pilot positions under CEN 01/2025. This significant development aims to enhance transparency in the recruitment process by allowing aspirants to scrutinize their performance and question-answer records.
Access to Question Papers and Response Sheets
The CBT-1 examination for Assistant Loco Pilot vacancies was conducted across multiple sessions, spanning from February 13 to 18, 2026, with an additional date on March 11, 2026. Candidates who participated in these tests can now access their individual question papers, recorded responses, and official answer keys through a dedicated link on the RRB websites.
The review facility will be activated starting March 20, 2026 at 17:00 hours and will remain accessible until March 26, 2026 up to 17:00 hours. During this six-day period, candidates are encouraged to log in to the portal to examine their responses in meticulous detail. This initiative underscores the boards' commitment to ensuring a fair and transparent evaluation mechanism for all applicants.
Objection Window and Financial Details
Candidates who identify discrepancies in the questions, answer options, or answer keys have the opportunity to raise formal objections within the stipulated timeframe. The objection process involves a fee of Rs. 50 per question, in addition to applicable bank charges. It is imperative for candidates to verify all information thoroughly before proceeding with any objections.
If an objection is deemed valid by the authorities, the fee will be refunded to the candidate. The refund will be processed to the same account used for the initial transaction, after deducting any bank charges. This policy aims to maintain accountability while minimizing financial burden on genuine grievances.
Payment Methods and Submission Guidelines
The official notice outlines multiple payment options for submitting objection fees, ensuring convenience for candidates across diverse financial backgrounds. Accepted methods include:
- Debit and credit cards such as Maestro, MasterCard, VISA, and RuPay
- Unified Payments Interface (UPI) and UPI QR codes
- Net banking and mobile banking services
Detailed instructions and comprehensive guidelines for submitting objections will be available through the same online link. Candidates must adhere strictly to the prescribed procedure when filing their challenges to ensure proper processing and consideration.
Final Decision and Deadline Adherence
The Railway Recruitment Boards have issued a clear advisory for candidates to submit their objections well before the closing deadline of March 26, 2026 at 17:00 hours. No representations or submissions will be accepted after this cutoff point under any circumstances.
Furthermore, the boards have emphasized that decisions rendered on the objections will be final and binding on all candidates. Once the review process concludes, no further correspondence will be entertained regarding these matters, as stated in the official notice issued by the board chairpersons.
This structured review window represents a critical phase in the Assistant Loco Pilot recruitment process, providing candidates with an unprecedented level of insight into their examination performance while maintaining the integrity and fairness of the selection system.
