The 2025/26 Centralized Services e-Recruitment (C-SERP) Aptitude Test has officially been rescheduled, with new dates and access guidelines released for applicants across all categories.
Following recent technical disruptions and system upgrades, the Ministry of the Interior has provided updated instructions to ensure a smooth and fair testing process for candidates applying into Ghana’s security services.
This guide provides full details on the new C-SERP aptitude test deadline, schedule, login instructions, and results date.
Why the C-SERP Portal Was Restricted
Applicants who attempted to log into the official C-SERP portal recently were met with a notice stating:
“Portal currently restricted to applicants who are yet to take their tests… All other applicants are to log in after 2nd March 2026 to access test results.”
This restriction is intentional and part of system adjustments aimed at:
- Managing high applicant traffic
- Completing backend system upgrades
- Preparing a stable test environment
- Ensuring AI-proctored exam integrity
- Allowing only eligible candidates to access the portal during their assigned window
The recruitment system is powered by TrybeNet and centrally coordinated for Ghana’s internal security agencies.

General Mop-Up Exercise (All Categories)

Important Access Rules for Applicants
