To check the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) shortlist for the 2025 recruitment, visit the official recruitment portal at updates.customs.gov.ng or recruitment.customs.gov.ng, log in with your registered email or National Identification Number (NIN), and check for your assigned batch and examination details.
Be aware that you may receive messages via your registered email and phone, and ensure you comply with the mandatory pre-test session and exam guidelines, including using a laptop, maintaining a neat appearance for facial verification, and avoiding distractions during the online test.
Here’s a step-by-step guide:
- Go to the Official Portal: Access the official NCS recruitment portal, which is now updates.customs.gov.ng.
- Log In: Log in using your National Identification Number (NIN) or your registered email address.
- Check for Your Details: Look for your assigned batch, date, and time for the main online recruitment examination.
Prepare for the Examination:
- Use a Laptop: The online exam requires a laptop or desktop with a webcam and full-screen display; it is not mobile-phone enabled.
- Facial Verification: Be prepared for a facial verification process during login and maintain a neat appearance.
- Be Attentive: Remain focused and avoid distractions like excessive movement or background noise, as these can lead to automatic logout or disqualification.
- Take the Pre-Test Session: A mandatory pre-test session will be provided two days before the main exam to help you familiarize yourself with the application.
Important Reminders
- Official Channels Only: Rely solely on official NCS platforms (like updates.customs.gov.ng and customs.gov.ng) for updates, as they do not request payment or conduct recruitment activities on social media.
- Strict Compliance: Failure to adhere to the assigned batch, time, and examination guidelines may result in disqualification.
- Active Contact Information: Ensure your registered email and phone numbers are active and accessible to receive important notifications.
