Dhaka: Bangladesh Public Service Commission (BPSC) today announced a new roadmap to address session jam and lengthiness in the Bangladesh Civil Service (BCS) exam processes.
According to Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha, the BPSC has planned to complete three BCS exams – including the 44th, 45th, and 48th – within this year. The final result of the 44th BCS will be published on June 30, the result of the 45th BCS will be published on December 10, and the final result of the 48th BCS (special) will be available on September 22.
The result of the 45th BCS written test will be made available on June 19, and the dates for the Viva will be announced then. Candidates who qualify for the 45th BCS viva will be allowed to appear before the viva board by or after one month of the 46th written test or the 47th preliminary test, ensuring that their exams do not overlap and opportunities are not missed.
The government prioritizes completing the 48th BCS (special) first due to a shortage of doctors in government hospitals. The MCQ test of the 48th BCS has been scheduled for July 21, with the final result set for publication on September 22.
Meanwhile, the preliminary test for the 47th BCS has been scheduled for September 19, and the written test will begin on November 27 this year. For regular BCS tests, the BPSC has decided to conduct the preliminary test two months after issuing the BCS gazette notification, with the written test following two months after the preliminary tests. The handout noted that there could be slight changes in the timelines if unavoidable scenarios arise.
