Facing errors during CDCFIB recruitment? Here’s a step-by-step guide to bypass technical glitches and complete your application successfully.
The Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board (CDCFIB) recently launched its recruitment portal for 2025/2026 applications. However, technical challenges like server overloads and site crashes have frustrated thousands of eager applicants. Here’s how to navigate around them and submit your application successfully.
Within 24 hours of opening, the portal experienced a crash due to overwhelming traffic and bandwidth limitations. Applicant complaints about error messages like “unconditional drop overload” have become common.
5 Practical Hacks to Beat the Glitches
- Avoid peak times
The site is most congested right after midnight and early morning. Try accessing late at night (around 2–4 AM) when fewer people are online. - Use a stable browser and internet
Opt for modern browsers like Chrome or Firefox and switch to a high-speed Wi-Fi or 4G/5G connection for reliable uploads. - Prepare offline first
Use a Word or PDF doc to prepare your information and scan documents in advance upload quickly once the portal is accessible. - Full refresh strategy
When you encounter errors, Ctrl + F5 (hard refresh) can bypass cached issues. If that fails, clear cookies/cache or switch devices. - Persist until success
With patience and good timing, some applicants have confirmed successful submissions late at night
Portal Suspension: Pause & Relaunch
Due to ongoing issues, the CDCFIB temporarily suspended the portal to boost its capacity.
The new launch date is July 21, 2025, giving the board time to improve stability.
