The Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board (CDCFIB) has announced that the online Computer-Based Test (CBT) for shortlisted candidates will begin on 12th November, 2025. According to the Board, all applicants are required to strictly follow the stated examination guidelines to avoid disqualification.
Candidates are instructed to log in to the examination portal at least 30 minutes before the scheduled start time for verification and system checks. “Late entry will not be permitted,” the Board stated. Applicants must ensure that their exam date, time, and login credentials match their registration record.
The CDCFIB also advised that candidates use a laptop, desktop, or smartphone with a working camera, microphone, and stable internet connection. “A selfie verification will be required and must match the image provided during registration before access is granted,” it added.
The examination will be proctored and monitored through live video and AI-assisted proctoring. Any suspicious movement, communication, or attempt to access other materials may result in instant disqualification. Candidates are further urged to report login or technical issues immediately through the official support portal.
They must remain on the exam interface throughout the test, as navigating away from the screen, switching tabs, or external communication will be automatically detected and flagged. The Board emphasized that participation outside the assigned date and time will lead to disqualification without appeal.
