No. The number of applications alone does not decide the RRB ALP cut-off. The cut-off can be affected by:

- The difficulty level of the examination
- The performance of candidates
- Category-wise vacancies
- RRB-wise vacancies
- Normalisation across different shifts
- The number of valid applications
- The qualifying rules for each examination stage
The registration figures provide an early estimate of competition, but the actual selection level will become clearer only after CBT 1 is conducted.
