I agree with SengKiat‘s comments.
But there is a cetovimutti attained by anariyas like Alara Kalama at the time of the Buddha. That is not Nibbana.
When a Noble Person attains Nibbana via jhanas, he/she attains akuppa cetovimutti (akuppa means “unshakable”); see “Ascendance to Nibbāna via Jhāna (Dhyāna)“.
Either way (pannavimutti or akuppa cetovimutti) the end result is Nibbana.
