Frequently Asked Questions

Where can I download the RRB ALP 2018 CBT 2 question paper PDF?
Every PDF is on this page, free and without login. The Part A papers have their own card, the Part B of every trade paper is in one All-trades book, and each of the 8 trades has its official answer key, complete paper and Part B book. Use Pick your trade at the top to jump to yours.
Are these memory-based question papers?
No. Every question and option is the original image of the RRB response sheet of the exam, with the official correct option ticked as per the RRB answer key released on 18 February 2019. No candidate details appear anywhere.
When was the RRB ALP 2018 CBT 2 exam held?
The second stage CBT of CEN 01/2018 (ALP and Technicians) was held on 21, 22 and 23 January 2019 in three shifts a day (8:30 AM, 12:30 PM and 4:30 PM). The table above lists the 26 trade papers we have, shift by shift.
What is the RRB ALP CBT 2 exam pattern?
175 questions in 2 hours 30 minutes. Part A has 100 questions (Mathematics, General Intelligence & Reasoning, Basic Science & Engineering, General Awareness on Current Affairs) in 90 minutes and counts for merit. Part B has 75 questions on the candidate's trade in 60 minutes and is qualifying (35% needed). A wrong answer costs one third of a mark.
Was Part A the same for every trade?
Not always in 2018. Most trades of a shift got the same Part A questions, but some trades got a different Part A paper. The Part A book prints each different Part A paper once and names the trades that got it.
Why do the English and Hindi books have different papers?
Candidates could switch language question by question, and many saved sheets are mostly in Hindi. A language edition of a paper is made only when at least half of it was saved in that language; inside it, a question not saved in that language is printed in the other language and marked with a tag. Nothing is machine translated.
Disclaimer: The papers on this page are re-set from the question papers of the RRB ALP CBT 2 exam held by the Railway Recruitment Boards. QMaths collates them for free revision use only; we do not alter the questions or the marked answers. For the final answer key and result, always refer to the official RRB websites.
