The Plateau State Ministry of Health has released an official update directed at all individuals who submitted applications for employment opportunities within the Primary Health Care Board (PHCB) and the Hospitals Management Board (HMB). According to the Ministry, this stage of the recruitment process will be managed entirely through electronic communication. Specifically, all important updates, including notifications about candidate shortlisting, information regarding the examination schedule, and designated test venues, will be delivered via the email addresses provided by applicants during the initial registration process. The Ministry emphasizes that no physical letters or SMS messages will be issued, and as such, applicants must take personal responsibility for regularly checking their inboxes to avoid missing critical instructions or deadlines.
Applicants are strongly advised to monitor their email inboxes consistently in order to stay informed and avoid missing any critical updates related to the recruitment process. Since all official communication from the Plateau State Ministry of Health will be sent via email, it is essential that candidates remain attentive to new messages. In addition to checking the main inbox, applicants should also inspect their spam or junk folders, as some automated messages from government domains may be mistakenly filtered by certain email service providers. The Ministry further urges all applicants to verify that they have access to the specific email address they used during their job application. This email address will serve as the sole and primary channel of communication, and failure to stay updated could result in missing vital instructions, such as test invitations, login credentials, or interview schedules.
As part of the preparation for the next phase of the ongoing recruitment exercise, the Plateau State Ministry of Health has announced that a mock Computer-Based Test (CBT) will be conducted on Monday, 30th June 2025. This preliminary test session is not part of the final evaluation but is intended to help candidates become familiar with the CBT platform and interface that will be used during the official examination. The mock test will provide applicants with an opportunity to navigate the digital testing environment, understand how to respond to questions, and get accustomed to the online test format. It is also designed to help reduce test-related anxiety and ensure that all candidates are adequately prepared. Additionally, the simulation will allow applicants to identify and resolve any potential technical issues, such as browser compatibility or network connectivity problems, ahead of the main assessment. Participation in the mock test is strongly encouraged to boost candidate confidence and readiness.
The official Computer-Based Test (CBT) for all shortlisted candidates has been scheduled to take place on Wednesday, 2nd July 2025, and will begin promptly at 10:00 AM. It is crucial that all selected applicants log in at the specified time, adhere strictly to the provided instructions, and complete the test within the allocated timeframe. The Ministry of Health has emphasized that late login or failure to participate in the test may result in automatic disqualification from the recruitment process. To ensure a smooth experience, shortlisted candidates will receive detailed information regarding the examination, including login credentials, access links, and any specific technical requirements, via their registered email addresses. Applicants are therefore advised to regularly monitor their inbox and prepare ahead of time to avoid any last-minute issues that could hinder their participation.
Applicants who do not receive any email notification before the scheduled date of the Computer-Based Test (CBT) are advised to continue checking their email inboxes, including the spam or junk folders, as messages may be delayed or mistakenly filtered by their email service providers. The Plateau State Ministry of Health emphasizes that all recruitment-related information, including examination details and login instructions, will be communicated exclusively via email. Therefore, it is the responsibility of each applicant to ensure that the email address provided during registration is active, accurate, and accessible. Failure to monitor email communications consistently may lead to missed instructions or disqualification, especially if vital updates go unnoticed. Applicants are encouraged to act proactively by verifying their email setup and checking messages frequently until the recruitment process is concluded.
