• Officer Cadre: 19th August 2026
• Inspectorate Cadre: 20th August 2026
• RMA Cadre: 21st August 2026

Kindly ignore this as it has not yet been officially confirmed on the official Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC).

Will FRSC Write Aptitude Test for 2026 Recruitment?

Yes, all FRSC shortlisted candidates will write a Computer-Based Test (CBT) as part of the firs screening process. The CBT exam usually cover areas such as verbal reasoning, numerical aptitude, general knowledge, English language, current affairs, and questions related to road safety regulations and traffic law etc.

To proceed to the next phase which is physical screening where your documents will be verified, medical examination will be done and your height checked, you must score at least 50% and above.

IN this case, we recommend you begin to prepare now by reviewing review materials on current affairs, make more research about FRSC and check for available recruitment past questions etc.

Tips While Awaiting FRSC Shortlist for CBT Exam

At a point, it will seem as if everywhere is silent concerning the recruitment process, don’t panic, rather do the following while you wait to remain productive.

• Always confirm that the email address and phone number you used to apply for FRSC recruitment is still very active and accessible because the shortlist and screening updates will be sent to you  there.
• Start now to revise for similar CBT. If you’re not computer literate, quickly do a crash course so you don’t have any issues during the actual examination. When preparing focus on English comprehension, basic mathematics, current affairs relating to Nigeria, and general knowledge about FRSC’s functions and road safety regulations etc.
• Gather and organise your original documents and certificates. This includes your original O’level result like WAEC, NECO, GCE or NABTEB, degree or HND certificates, NYSC discharge or exemption letter, state of origin certificate, birth certificate and other relevant documents etc. local government identification, and birth certificate — so you are not scrambling if you are invited for screening on short notice.
• Avoid canvassing i.e. trying to manipulate the system or paying someone to helo you secure the job or guarantee you’re shortlisted. FRSC have made it clear that the process is free and merit-based, thus, canvassing can lead to automatic disqualification.
• Always confirm every information you come across on WhatsApp or social media at the official recruitment portal.
