The Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board has advised candidates shortlisted for the online computer-based test to log in 30 minutes prior to the commencement time each day.

This was announced in a statement by the secretary to the board, Abdulmalik Jibril, on Wednesday in Abuja.

Mr Jibril said that the online CBT phase of the recruitment exercise commencing on Wednesday (today) would continue until next week and commence at 9:00 a.m. daily.

The paramilitary agencies include the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, Nigeria Immigration Service, Federal Fire Service, and the Nigerian Correctional Service.

According to the secretary, only candidates who have been officially scheduled will be permitted to log in, as the portal will open 30 minutes before each scheduled exam.

”To access the exam, candidates are to log into the board’s portal at recruitment.cdcfib.gov.ng at the exact exam window selected during registration. They are to complete the photo verification process and remain in the virtual waiting room until the exam begins automatically at the scheduled time,” he said.

He also advised all candidates to carefully study and adhere to the examination rules to avoid disqualification.

“The system has been designed to monitor and detect all forms of malpractice and third-party interference as well as device manipulation.

“The CBT will be Al-proctored throughout the entire session, so candidates are advised to have a stable internet connection and steady power, as well as the right device – preferably a laptop.

”While mobile phones and tablets may be used, interruptions such as calls or switching applications will trigger violation alerts. Repeated violations will result in automatic failure. Candidates who are disconnected after starting can rejoin within the allotted time and continue from where they stopped,” the secretary added.
