From the latest Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board (CDCFIB) examination slip, some candidates will be taking their CBT exams in cyber cafes.
The online CBT examination slip displays the candidate’s passport photograph, name, exam number, phone number, date of birth, state, job position, email, gender, and local government area. For the exam details, it only shows the exam date, exam time, and duration, which is one hour.
Unlike some other exam slips, these do not have physical examination centres indicated. This means that such candidates will take their exams in cyber cafes. Candidates are required 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 CDCFIB stated, “Candidates must ensure all exam details match their registration records to avoid disqualification.”
Under the official instructions to candidates, the board noted that devices used must have a working camera, microphone, and a stable internet connection. “A selfie verification will be required and must match the image provided during registration before access is granted,” the board added.
It also confirmed that the online exam will be monitored through live video and AI-assisted proctoring. Any suspicious movement, communication, or attempt to access other materials may result in instant disqualification.
Candidates were also advised to report login or technical issues immediately through the official support portal. The CDCFIB further warned, “Navigating away from the screen, switching tabs, or external communication will be automatically detected and flagged.”
All candidates are reminded to strictly adhere to their assigned date and time. Failure to participate within the allotted period may lead to disqualification without appeal.
