# RRB ALP CBT 1 answer key released, objections open till 19 November 2026-11-13T07:49:51+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Outlets counted: hindustantimes.com The Railway Recruitment Board has released the provisional answer key and response sheets for the RRB ALP CBT 1 examination. The computer-based test for 11,127 Assistant Loco Pilot posts was conducted from 3 November to 5 November 2026. Candidates can submit objections to the answer key on their respective regional RRB websites until 19 November 2026. The fee for each challenged question is Rs 50 plus bank charges, refundable if the objection is upheld. CBT 1 serves only as a screening test, its marks will not be counted in the final merit list. The minimum qualifying percentage is 40% for UR and EWS candidates, 30% for OBC (NCL) and SC candidates, and 25% for ST candidates. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Both NDTV and Hindustan Times published near-identical straight reports on the release of the RRB ALP CBT 1 answer key. Neither outlet led with a different fact or injected editorial judgement: both named the objection deadline of 19 November 2026, the fee of Rs 50 per question, and the refund policy for valid objections. The uniform coverage means no framing choice separates the two. The practical implication for candidates is the seven-day window to challenge answers and the need to visit their specific regional RRB portal, not the central railways website. The next concrete step is the closure of the objection window on 19 November 2026. ## Coverage Coverage: 2 sources, 2 neutral - hindustantimes.com (neutral report) Identical straight reporting with exam dates added Background, not counted: ndtv.com This brief was synthesised by AI from the 2 sources linked above, so one read covers every framing they carry.
