171,956 applicants are hoping to be among those chosen to fill 30,000 slots as the Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board (CDCFIB) commences its Computer-Based Testing today.
The 171,956 applicants were selected from an initial field of 1.9 million people who applied for the job opportunity from the outset.
CDCFIB Recruitment Exercise
The process began with the opening of the online application portal, during which interested candidates submitted their applications through the official recruitment portal.
After the application window closed, CDCFIB proceeded to the shortlisting stage and on 30 October 2025 the board published the list of shortlisted candidates via its portal, inviting them to check their status and view details of their next phase.Candidates who made the shortlist were required to confirm their exam centres, date and time through the portal.
Subsequently, CDCFIB announced that the recruitment test would now be conducted online, exclusively, with the portal closing for preparation on 7 November 2025 and the online test running from 12 to 19 November 2025.
Following the online exam, successful candidates are expected to proceed to subsequent stages such as physical screening, document verification and medical examination, though detailed official dates for these phases have not been widely published at this time.
