The Federal Government has advised candidates taking part in the ongoing Computer-Based Test (CBT) for paramilitary recruitment to log in at least 30 minutes before their scheduled examination time each day.
This directive was contained in a statement released on Wednesday in Abuja by the Secretary of the Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire, and Immigration Services Board (CDCFIB), retired Major General Abdulmalik Jibril.
According to Jibril, the online CBT phase of the recruitment exercise began on Wednesday and will run until next week, with sessions starting daily at 9:00 a.m. The examination involves candidates shortlisted for the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), Federal Fire Service (FFS), and Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS).
The board emphasized that only officially scheduled candidates would be granted access to the test portal, which opens 30 minutes before the start of each exam.
“To access the test, candidates must log into the board’s portal via recruitment.cdcfib.gov.ng at their assigned time,” Jibril explained. “They are required to complete photo verification and remain in the virtual waiting room until the system launches the exam automatically.”
He further warned candidates to strictly follow all examination guidelines to avoid disqualification, noting that the system is equipped to detect malpractice or unauthorized interference.
“The CBT will be monitored with artificial intelligence (AI) throughout the session,” he said. “Candidates should ensure they have a stable internet connection, constant power supply, and preferably use a laptop. Although mobile phones or tablets may be used, interruptions such as incoming calls or switching applications will trigger violation alerts. Multiple alerts will result in automatic disqualification.”
Jibril added that candidates who are disconnected during the test can log back in and continue within the allotted time frame.
The CDCFIB had earlier released the list of shortlisted candidates for the recruitment exercise on October 30.
