How to Check NAQS Shortlisted Candidates
Applicants can check their recruitment status through the official NAQS recruitment portal:
https://recruitment.naqs.gov.ng
Candidates should log in using the details required on the portal and check whether they have been shortlisted.
Applicants are advised to regularly monitor the portal for information about examination venues, instructions and required documents.
What Applicants Should Know About the NAQS CBT and Interview
Candidates should not wait until the shortlist is released before beginning their preparation. The shortlisting date is only two days before the scheduled CBT screening and interview.
Applicants should also follow every instruction provided through the official recruitment portal and arrive at the examination venue on time.
NAQS CBT Preparation Tips
Candidates should revise important areas that may be relevant to the examination, including:
- English Language.
- Mathematics and Quantitative Reasoning.
- General Knowledge.
- Current Affairs.
- Basic Agriculture.
- Agricultural Quarantine Services.
Applicants should also study the Nigerian Agricultural Quarantine Service, including its responsibilities and role in protecting Nigeria’s agricultural sector. This can also help candidates prepare for possible interview questions.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Waiting for the shortlist before starting preparation.
- Ignoring official recruitment instructions.
- Arriving late at the CBT venue.
- Failing to take required documents to the screening venue.
- Relying on unofficial information about the recruitment exercise.
Start preparing before the shortlist is published. Since only a short period is expected between the shortlist and CBT screening, candidates who begin revising early will have more time to cover English, Mathematics, Current Affairs, General Knowledge and agriculture-related topics.
