The Computer-Based Test (CBT) for the Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board (CDCFIB) officially commenced on Wednesday, November 12, with several candidates taking to social media to share their experiences, ranging from smooth participation to unexpected technical issues.
According to the CDCFIB, candidates are advised not to minimize, close, or leave the exam page after a successful login until the test is completed and submitted. The agency also emphasized the need for a stable internet connection throughout the exam. “If you encounter a technical problem, follow the provided instructions, or alternatively contact CDCFIB,” the board stated. Candidates are required to log in through https://exam.cdcfib.gov.ng/.
However, reports from applicants suggest several technical challenges. A candidate, Muhammad Sani Haruna, expressed frustration, saying, “The system submitted my profile automatically after I waited for more than 10 minutes for the exam questions to come up and then I tried to refresh and was automatically submitted. If we are not ready for anything as a country, we shouldn’t be wasting people’s time.”
Others shared similar concerns. “I only got to answer 24 out of 40 questions. Where did the remaining go?” wrote another user. A candidate identified as Malam Abdul said, “I just got to fill 14 out of 40 questions and I didn’t see any other questions. They showed me to submit, and it’s showing results of the 14 questions! I used my smartphone to do the CBT. What’s our solution now please?”
Despite the challenges, some candidates reported successful experiences. Victory Isong posted, “Thanking God for successful entry and exit.”
The CDCFIB CBT examination uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) to monitor participants’ behavior, including camera activity, login attempts, and test duration. The system automatically flags suspicious actions such as early logins, repeated access attempts, or failed camera verification, which can lead to automatic disqualification or submission.
Candidates are therefore urged to carefully follow all instructions, maintain internet stability, and only log in during their scheduled time to avoid being flagged by the AI monitoring system.
