The Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board (CDCFIB) has announced that the online Computer-Based Test (CBT) for its ongoing recruitment exercise will begin tomorrow, Wednesday, 12th November 2025, at 9:00 a.m.
According to the Board, only candidates who have been officially scheduled for the exercise will be allowed to log in to the exam portal. The statement read, “All candidates MUST carefully study and adhere to the examination rules to avoid disqualification.”
The CDCFIB explained that the system is built to detect and monitor all forms of malpractice, third-party interference, or device manipulation during the test. The online CBT will be AI-proctored throughout the session to ensure transparency and fairness in the recruitment process.
Candidates are advised to use a stable internet connection, have constant power supply, and use the right device, preferably a laptop, for the test. While mobile phones and tablets can be used, the Board warned that interruptions such as calls or switching between applications will trigger violation alerts. “Repeated violations will result in automatic failure,” the statement added.
The examination portal will open 30 minutes before each scheduled test period. Candidates are required to log in at recruitment.cdcfib.gov.ng using the exam window they selected during registration. After completing the photo verification process, they must stay in the virtual waiting room until the test begins automatically.
The Board further stated that candidates who experience disconnection during the test can rejoin within the allotted time and continue from where they stopped.
