Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire, and Immigration Services Board (CDCFIB) is shortlisting more candidates today.
Many applicants have been advised to check again for their names on the CDCFIB portal. One applicant shared, “I wasn’t shortlisted on the first day the portal opened, only to check again and boom! I was shortlisted for the exam.”
A message on the portal reads, “Congratulations. You have been shortlisted for the next phase of the recruitment exercise. Click Proceed to continue.”
It appears that the number of uploads is high, so the process is gradual. Some users have also reported that they can’t submit after filling the form.
A notification on the site shows, “internal server error.” Applicants are encouraged to keep trying as the CDCFIB portal seems congested with thousands of candidates attempting to check their updated status. It seems the CDCFIB portal is currently experiencing technical glitches.
Some users are reportedly stuck at the “Submitting” stage, especially where they are required to fill in details such as NYSC Status and Discharge Year. The portal also includes an option for selecting Online Exam Schedule, Exam Date, and Time Slot for the Computer-Based Test.
There are also circulating reports that some candidates who were shortlisted this morning checked again later and received a message saying, “We regret to inform you that, after careful review and evaluation, your application was not shortlisted to proceed to the next stage of the recruitment process.”
Also, initially, the exam was supposed to be physical, but it now appears to have been changed to an online CBT for some or possibly all candidates.
