Step 4: Select Trade for CBT-2 Part B

RRB ALP 2026 Zone-Wise Vacancy Distribution

Applicants must select a preferred RRB zone during registration. The 11,127 vacancies are divided across various regional zones, so make your selection thoughtfully. 

Common Mistakes to Avoid While Filling the RRB ALP Application Form

Avoid these common pitfalls that frequently lead to application rejection:

1. Mismatch in Name or DOB between Aadhaar and 10th certificate — your application will be rejected at Document Verification
2. Creating a new account when you already have one from a 2024/2025 RRB recruitment — this causes duplicate registration issues
3. Selecting the wrong RRB zone — zone preference cannot be changed after submission
4. Uploading blurry or incorrect-sized photos/signatures — always check the specification before uploading
5. Not saving the confirmation page — without your Registration Number, you cannot track your application
6. Waiting till the last day — server overload near the deadline is common; apply at least 5 days before 14th June
7. Incorrect trade selection for CBT-2 Part B — ensure your ITI/Diploma trade matches the eligible trade list in the notification
