Full List: CDCFIB Releases Physical Screening Centres for All States

For thousands of applicants waiting for clarity on the 2025 CDCFIB recruitment exercise, the release of the official physical verification centres brings a sense of relief. Every recruitment cycle comes with tension, assumptions, and rushed travel plans, and this announcement finally gives shortlisted candidates a concrete direction.

Over the years, one thing has been consistent with CDCFIB screenings: successful candidates are usually the ones who understand exactly where they are required to report. Showing up at the wrong centre or choosing a location that feels convenient has led many hopeful applicants to automatic disqualification in past exercises. This year, the Board has kept the rule simple—report only to your assigned state command.

The approved centres follow the familiar pattern used by the four paramilitary services under the Board. Almost every location is either a state command, a zonal office, or a training school that has been used for similar exercises in previous years. This not only ensures structure and security but also provides a predictable environment for applicants who know the system well.

Below, you’ll find the complete and official list of all 44 verification centres, arranged exactly as provided by the Board. These are the only acceptable venues for the 2025 physical verification.

What Applicants Are Searching For Right Now

Many candidates simply want to know three things:

1. Where is my centre?
   It is listed exactly above—match your state of application to the location.
2. Can I go to a different centre?
   No. CDCFIB screenings are state-based and coded into your application record.
3. What time should I arrive?
   Early arrival—often before 7 a.m.—reduces waiting time and helps you avoid long queues.

From past CDCFIB recruitment cycles, the most common reason candidates are turned back is incomplete documentation or arriving at the wrong state centre. Officers rarely bend the rules. They rely on a strict verification protocol, and once your record does not match the centre you are reporting to, you are immediately directed to leave.
