• The shortlisted candidates list is a list of applicants who have satisfied the eligibility requirements (qualifications, document submissions, age, residency, etc.) and whose applications passed initial screening.
• If you are shortlisted, you are eligible to participate in the next stage(s), which may include document verification, physical screening, aptitude or CBT exam, interviews, etc.

Has the Plateau State SUBEB Shortlisted Candidates List Been Released?

• According to several sources, YES, the Plateau SUBEB Shortlisted Candidates 2025/2026 Final List PDF is now available.
• One source reports that 661 candidates have been shortlisted for teaching positions under the SUBEB.

How to Check if You’re Shortlisted

If you applied for PLSUBEB and want to verify your status, here are steps commonly shared and reported:

1. Visit the Official Portal
   Go to either plsubeb.gov.ng or plateaustate.gov.ng. These are the official sites usually used for recruitment and updates.
2. Navigate to Recruitment / Shortlist Section
   Look for links labelled “Shortlisted Candidates”, “List of Successful Applicants”, or similar. Sometimes they are under “Recruitment / News / Latest.”
3. Download the PDF List
   If there’s a PDF available, download it. Usually it’s named something like “PLSUBEB Shortlisted Candidates 2025/2026 Final List PDF.”
4. Search for Your Name or Application Number
   Open the PDF and use the search function (Ctrl + F on PC, equivalent on phones) to locate your name or application ID.
5. Check Your Email / SMS
   Occasionally, successful (shortlisted) candidates are also informed via email or SMS. So, check your messages including spam/junk folders.

What to Do If You’re Shortlisted

If you find your name on the Plateau SUBEB shortlist, here are the typical next steps:

• Prepare Required Documents: Usual documents asked include original academic certificates (NCE, B.Ed, etc.), NYSC discharge/exemption certificate (if applicable), state of origin, birth certificate or declaration of age, valid ID (National Identity Card, Voters Card, Passport), maybe local government of origin certificate.
• Attend Screening / Verification: You’ll likely have to show up at a physical screening centre for document verification. Make sure documents are organized and genuine.
• Prepare for Examination or Aptitude Test: Depending on your role (teacher or non-teacher), there may be tests to assess competency in subject area or general aptitude.
• Be Ready for Interviews or Panel Assessment: Some applicants may undergo interviews or panel assessments. Having knowledge about teaching methods, state policy in education, and good communication skills helps. (though this is more anecdotal from candidate experience)

What If You’re Not Shortlisted

• Double-check that your application was successfully submitted and met all eligibility criteria.
• Verify that you used the correct portal and uploaded all required documents.
• Check your email for any notices. Sometimes correction windows are allowed.
• Stay updated via the official SUBEB website or email notifications.
• Keep preparing, some roles may have second shortlist phases or replacements.

Important Notices & Tips

• Always use official sources (PLSUBEB website, Plateau State Government portal) to download the shortlist and for announcements. Be wary of fake adverts.
• Do not pay anyone for your name to be included. Legit recruitment/shortlisting is free.
