RRB ALP / Technician rank estimator
Enter your expected CBT 1 marks to get an estimated percentile and rank. This is a scenario tool: you can change the number of candidates, the shortlist size and the cut-off it is anchored on, and see how the rank moves.
It is clearly an estimate. The first stage of RRB ALP / Technician has no published all-India rank, and your normalised score decides the real result.

Enter your marks and the cut-off you want to anchor on to see the estimate.
How this works. The last shortlisted candidate is placed at rank 1,66,905 out of 22,00,000. Scores are assumed to follow a bell curve, so every other mark gets a percentile and a rank from that one anchor. Rank = candidates appeared × (1 − percentile).
Candidates are shortlisted for CBT 2 at 15 times the ALP vacancies (11,127 in CEN 01/2026), per our exam page. The attendance figure is from the previous cycle and is not confirmed.
Cut-offs are zone-wise (RRB-wise), so an all-India rank is a rough guide only. The reference point on file is one RRB Secunderabad cycle.
This is a planning estimate. The official body does not publish all-India ranks, and your normalised score decides the real outcome. For a go or no-go call, use the score calculator and the cutoffs page.
RRB ALP / Technician rank estimator: FAQs
Does the board publish an all-India rank?
The boards publish result lists and scorecards, but they do not generally publish an all-India rank for the first stage. So any rank shown here is an estimate, not a fact.
How is the rank worked out?
You give the number who appear, the number shortlisted and the score of the last shortlisted candidate. The estimator places that candidate at the shortlist rank, assumes scores follow a bell curve, and reads your percentile off it. Rank is candidates appeared times one minus the percentile.
Which numbers are assumptions?
Candidates are shortlisted for CBT 2 at 15 times the ALP vacancies (11,127 in CEN 01/2026), per our exam page. The attendance figure is from the previous cycle and is not confirmed. Cut-offs are zone-wise (RRB-wise), so an all-India rank is a rough guide only. The reference point on file is one RRB Secunderabad cycle.
What should I use this for?
For planning and motivation, for example to see how many marks move your rank by thousands. For a go or no-go call, compare your marks with past cut-offs in the score calculator.
