The extension is aimed at ensuring fairness and giving every affected candidate the opportunity to fully participate in the recruitment process.
New Aptitude Test Schedule for Category C (WASSCE)
The deadline for the aptitude test has been extended to 28th February 2026. A special mop-up exercise will take place starting Saturday, 21st February 2026, in service-based batches as follows:
