Dhaka: The Bangladesh Public Service Commission (BPSC) has made a significant decision to cancel the oral examination (viva) for the 44th Bangladesh Civil Service (BCS) and republish the preliminary results for the 46th BCS. This move comes as part of an effort to ensure transparency and fairness in the examination process.
According to Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha, the decision was taken during a meeting of the commission aimed at maintaining impartiality in the examinations. The PSC has announced that the viva of 3,930 candidates from the 44th BCS, which was previously conducted, will be canceled. Consequently, all 11,732 candidates who had passed the written exam of the 44th BCS will be invited to retake the oral exam.
Additionally, the BPSC has decided to reevaluate the answer sheets of the 45th BCS written exam by a third examiner. This decision has been made to further enhance transparency and fairness in the evaluation process.
For the 46th BCS, the commission has resolved to republish the preliminar
y exam results. This adjustment will ensure that an equal number of candidates will pass, alongside the previously successful 10,638 candidates.
The oral examination for the 44th BCS had initially been suspended in July due to the quota reform movement, prompting this reevaluation and restructuring of the exam process.
