The Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board has urged candidates shortlisted for its online Computer-Based Test to log in 30 minutes before the scheduled start time each day.
This advisory was contained in a statement released on Wednesday in Abuja by the Secretary to the Board, retired Maj.-Gen. Abdulmalik Jibril.
According to Jibril, the online CBT phase of the ongoing recruitment exercise commenced on Wednesday and will continue until next week, beginning daily at 9:00 a.m.
The News Agency of Nigeria reported that the recruitment involves four paramilitary agencies, the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, Nigeria Immigration Service, Federal Fire Service, and the Nigerian Correctional Service.
Jibril explained that only candidates officially scheduled for each session would be able to access the portal, which opens 30 minutes before the designated exam time.
“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.
The secretary also advised candidates to strictly follow all examination guidelines to avoid disqualification.
“The system has been designed to monitor and detect all forms of malpractice, third-party interference as well as device manipulation.
“The CBT will be AI-proctored throughout the entire session; so candidates are advised to have a stable internet connection, 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,” Jibril added.
