Important:
The announcement says the list of centres is general. For some districts more
than one centre is shown, and each candidate must check their own individual
information to confirm the centre they were assigned. Where the schedule
shows “no centre”, check your personal details or ask the organisers. The
schedule does not list the Kigali City districts (Gasabo, Kicukiro,
Nyarugenge).
Smart preparation tips (general advice)
These are general tips, not requirements
from the announcement:
- Confirm your centre today. Do not
rely on the district list alone.
- Visit or locate the centre in advance so you know the route, transport time and where to arrive.
- Arrive early. The exams start at
9:00 AM.
- Bring your national ID and any documents named in your personal
notice.
- Revise job-related topics: local
government structure, planning and service delivery, community development
and the duties of your specific post.
- Rest well before the exam day.
