Only scheduled candidates permitted to log in
According to a statement via X and signed by Maj. Gen. A. M. Jibril (Rtd), Secretary of the Board, only candidates officially scheduled for the exercise would be allowed access to the examination portal.
“All candidates must carefully study and adhere to the examination rules to avoid disqualification,” the statement read.
The Board stressed that the CBT would be AI-proctored, with systems in place to detect and prevent malpractice, device manipulation, and third-party interference.
Candidates urged to secure stable internet, devices
CDCFIB advised candidates to ensure a stable internet connection, steady power supply, and a reliable device, preferably a laptop, for the online test.
While mobile phones and tablets may be used, the Board warned that interruptions such as calls or switching applications could trigger violation alerts.
“Repeated violations will result in automatic failure,” it cautioned.
Portal access and verification procedures
The statement further explained that the portal would open 30 minutes before each scheduled exam.
Candidates are to log into the Board’s portal at recruitment.cdcfib.gov.ng at their assigned exam window, complete the photo verification process, and remain in the virtual waiting room until the test begins automatically.
Applicants who experience disconnection during the test are permitted to rejoin within the allotted time and continue from where they stopped.
