Common Mistakes to Avoid While Filling the RRB ALP Application Form

These errors lead to rejection — avoid them at all costs:

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
