There is a growing trend on social media claiming that only 90,000 applicants have been shortlisted for the Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board (CDCFIB) CBT exam out of 1.9 million applications submitted.
The exact trend reads, “Only 90,000 applicants will be shortlisted out of the total number of over 1.9m applicants before eventually selecting 30,000 applicants. Every applicant has less than 5% chances of being shortlisted.”
To be specific, the unverified claim suggests that 90,000 have been shortlisted for the CDCFIB CBT exams out of 1,914,349 applications, and only 30,150 candidates will be recruited.
By correct percentage, if the 90,000 shortlist claim is true, only one in three shortlisted candidates for the CDCFIB aptitude test will be employed. However, for the 1.9 million applicants, only about 1.6% will be recruited. The CDCFIB recruitment team has not yet confirmed the exact number of shortlisted candidates.
