GIS Recruitment and Aptitude Test Overview
The aptitude test is a mandatory online assessment that takes place after the initial application submission stage.
The Ministry of the Interior scheduled the aptitude test as part of the C‑SERP recruitment for the 2025/26 cycle.
The test is conducted entirely online through individual applicant portals.
Applicants are required to complete the aptitude test during their assigned dates.
The test may include questions on general reasoning, numerical ability, English language, and problem‑solving.
Successful completion of this test determines eligibility for further stages such as medical screening and physical assessments.
Categories and Test Structure
The aptitude test for C‑SERP applicants, including those applying to GIS, is grouped by qualification category.
- Category A: NVTI, JHS, sportsmen, and other certificate holders answer 30 questions and later undergo a trade test.
- Category B: HND, degree, and master’s degree holders answer 60 questions.
- Category C: WASSCE holders answer 60 questions.
The pass mark for all categories is commonly set at 65%.
All tests are AI‑proctored online and require a stable internet connection, webcam, and microphone for monitoring during the exam.
