If you took the Assistant Loco Pilot promotion tests at Eastern Railway, your ALP PRQ result is now out. RRC Eastern Railway, Kolkata published the CBT (Computer Based Test) and CBAT (Computer Based Aptitude Test) marks on 12.11.2026, with the full score lists in two annexures. Only serving railway staff in the Promotional Recruitment Quota (PRQ, the quota for existing employees moving up to ALP) took these tests, so this is not a new vacancy.
The Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) is a court that hears service cases of government employees. Its Kolkata bench passed an order on 10.08.2026 in a case numbered OA No. 941/2026. RRC Eastern Railway published the marks to follow that order.

How to Check Your ALP PRQ Result
Download the notice PDF from the Important Links section below. It has 82 pages, so use the search option in your PDF viewer.
Open Annexure A for your CBT marks. Search your roll number (it starts with RRCER) or your employee number. Your score is in the last column, out of 100, and 60 or above means you qualified.
Open Annexure B for your CBAT marks. Search your roll number there as well.
Compare the first set of five scores (Test 1 to Test 5) with the cut-off table above. The cut-offs apply to this raw score.
Read the Remarks column: Suitable, Not Suitable or Absent.
Note: The notice says candidates had to score “above” the cut-off, but in Annexure B a raw score exactly equal to a cut-off (for example 17 in Test 1) still shows as Suitable. The notice does not explain the remarks.

Looking for the open ALP recruitment for outside candidates? That is a different recruitment run by the Railway Recruitment Boards (RRB CEN 01/2026). See RRB ALP Answer Key 2026 and RRB ALP Exam Date 2026.
Check all five CBAT sub-tests one by one. The notice says you had to clear every one of them, so a high score in four does not help.
Compare the first set of five scores with the cut-offs. The notice says the cut-offs are on the raw score, not the second set.
Search by roll number or employee number, not only by name, because many staff share the same name.
Do not treat Suitable as a promotion order. The notice shows marks only and names no next stage.
Use the search option in your PDF viewer instead of scrolling through 82 pages.
