the Interior has announced an extension of the aptitude test dates for Category C (WASSCE) applicants under the 2025\/2026 Centralized Services E-Recruitment Portal.<\/p>\n<p>This follows challenges some applicants faced while attempting to submit and complete their tests online.<\/p>\n<p>In a notice issued on Saturday, the Ministry said the decision was taken to ensure fairness and give all affected applicants equal opportunity to participate in the recruitment process.<\/p>\n<p>As part of the new arrangements, the aptitude test deadline for Category C applicants has been extended to February 28, 2026, with a mop-up exercise beginning on Saturday, 21 February 2026, across service-based lots.<\/p>\n<p>The revised schedule is as follows:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Saturday, 21st \u2013 Monday, 23rd February 2026: Ghana Immigration Service (GIS)<\/li>\n<li>Tuesday, 24th \u2013 Wednesday, 25th February 2026: Ghana Police Service<\/li>\n<li>Thursday, 26th \u2013 Friday, 28th February 2026: Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) and Ghana Prisons Service<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In addition, the Ministry announced that a general mop-up exercise for all categories (A to C) will take place between Sunday, March 1, and Monday, March 2, 2026, with the publication of results scheduled for March 4, 2026.<\/p>\n<p>Applicants affected by the extension will receive SMS notifications prompting them to log into the portal and retake the aptitude test within the new dates.<\/p>\n<p>The Ministry clarified that applicants who have already successfully completed the test (82%) will not be allowed to log in again until the results are officially released.<\/p>\n<p>To further address concerns, the Ministry has also announced an upcoming live social media session to be led by a technical facilitator to resolve issues related to the aptitude test and the recruitment process.<\/p>\n<p>The session is scheduled for Sunday, February 22, 2026 at 8:30pm, with further details to be shared in subsequent updates.<\/p>\n<p>The Ministry of the Interior urged all applicants to adhere strictly to the revised schedule and official communications to avoid misinformation and confusion as the recruitment process continues.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n        <div class=\"booster-block booster-reactions-block\">\n            <div
