The Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board (CDCFIB) has kicked off its 2025 Computer-Based Test (CBT) for shortlisted applicants across Nigeria. If your name appeared on the list, congratulations — you’re one step closer to joining one of Nigeria’s key paramilitary agencies like NSCDC, NIS, NCoS, or Fire Service.
Here’s a quick guide on how to log in to the exam portal, print your CBT slip, and prepare properly before the exam day.
How to Access the CDCFIB CBT Portal
To avoid scams, make sure you’re logging in only through the official recruitment portal. The correct link is: https://recruitment.cdcfib.gov.ng
When the exam stage starts, CDCFIB usually opens a subdomain for the CBT itself which is https://exam.cdcfib.gov.ng/, But it will surely be communicated through your registered email. Always confirm through the main portal before clicking any link.
Login details required:
- Your NIN (National Identification Number)
- The Phone Number you used during registration
If your login details don’t work, don’t panic o. Just try again or check if the portal has been officially activated for your batch.
Because the test is computer-based and AI-monitored, it’s best to use a laptop with a webcam, good network, and stable power supply.
How to Print Your CDCFIB CBT Slip
Your CBT slip is like your “gate pass” — without it, you can’t sit for the test. It shows your exam date, time, and venue/session.
To print it:
- Go to the CDCFIB recruitment site https://recruitment.cdcfib.gov.ng
- Click on “Check Status” or “Print CBT Slip.”
- Log in using your NIN and Phone Number.
- Open your dashboard and click “Download/Print Examination Slip.”
Make sure you print a clear copy and keep a backup screenshot on your phone.
Important tip: On exam day, log in at least 30 minutes early, complete your face verification, and wait for the test to start automatically.
How You Can Prepare and Pass the CDCFIB CBT
The test usually covers these main areas:
- General Knowledge & Current Affairs: Know what’s happening in Nigeria — politics, geography, and national events.
- English Language: Grammar, comprehension, and vocabulary.
- Mathematics & Logical Reasoning: Simple calculations and problem-solving.
- Computer Basics: Understand basic computer operations — since it’s an online test.
- Service Knowledge: Read about the agency you applied for — their structure, duties, and leadership.
Study Smart
Get past questions or practice with CBT apps online. It helps you understand the exam pattern and time management.
Get Used to the System
Try a mock test if CDCFIB provides one. If not, use any online CBT practice platform so you won’t be confused on the exam day.
Follow the Rules
During the CBT, don’t open other apps, don’t receive calls, and don’t allow anyone near you. The system monitors everything if you break any rule, you can be disqualified.
Summary for you
This CDCFIB recruitment is a serious process, not a trial run. Use only the official portals, prepare ahead, and follow all exam instructions strictly.
