The Ogun State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB) recruitment process has entered its next critical phase, the Computer-Based Test (CBT) and Screening Exercise for shortlisted candidates. This stage is essential as it allows the board to assess the competence, knowledge, and readiness of applicants for teaching positions across the state.

If you applied for the Ogun State SUBEB recruitment 2025/2026 and your name appears on the shortlisted list, it’s time to prepare for the exams and screening. This guide provides everything you need to know — including dates, venues, exam format, documents to bring, and important tips to boost your chances of success.

Overview of the CBT & Screening Exercise

The screening stage is designed to ensure only the most qualified and credible candidates move forward in the recruitment process. It is divided into two parts:

1. CBT Examination: A computer-based test that evaluates candidates’ knowledge in teaching and general aptitude.
2. Physical Screening/Verification: A document and identity verification process to confirm candidates’ credentials.

Attendance at both stages is compulsory. Failure to participate means automatic disqualification.
