Customs' site crashes before pretest
NCS once again found itself under public scrutiny after its recruitment portal crashed just minutes before the scheduled pretest exercise, leaving thousands of applicants stranded.
Recall that the NCS recently announced a new recruitment exercise to fill vacancies across three cadres: Superintendent, Inspectorate and Customs Assistant.
According to the Service, the process is aimed at strengthening its workforce and addressing operational gaps.
However, applicants were unable to access the online pretest link as the portal returned repeated “Internal Server Error” messages.
