Performance Analysis of 2025 CDCFIB Applicants

The 2025 recruitment cycle recorded one of the highest participation levels in recent years. While thousands of candidates sat for the CBT, only a smaller percentage met the minimum benchmark required to proceed.

General Performance Trend

• Many candidates performed better in general knowledge and logical reasoning, showing improved exam preparation compared to previous years.
• However, a notable number struggled with numerical reasoning and situational judgment questions, which significantly affected the overall pass rate.
• Candidates with prior exposure to paramilitary training materials or past questions scored significantly higher than first-time applicants

High Scorer Profile for 2025

High-scoring candidates generally shared some key characteristics

• Strong speed and accuracy, especially in numerical questions
• A solid understanding of security awareness, ethics, and paramilitary responsibilities
• Good computer literacy, which allowed smooth participation in the proctored online exam
• Consistent practice with CBT-style questions before the exam

These top performers are expected to dominate the physical screening stage, where fitness, discipline, and proper documentation become the deciding factors.

NOTE:

Shortlisted applicants should begin preparing immediately by arranging their documents, ensuring physical fitness, and staying updated through the official CDCFIB recruitment portal. Avoid unofficial information sources, as the Board does not communicate screening details through third-party agencies.
