The government is going to amend the Bangladesh Civil Service (BCS) Recruitment Rules to allow candidates to seek re-evaluation of their BCS examinations score, reports bdnews24.com, quoting a top civil servant Wednesday.
"The government is amending a number of sections of the BCS recruitment rules on recommendation of the Public Service Commission (PSC). The provision of re-checking the BCS mark-sheet is significant," Establishment Secretary Md Abdus Salam Khan told the news agency by phone.
"A draft on the BCS recruitment rules has been finalised. We will soon send the draft to the secretary committee for approval.
"Then it will go to the law ministry for vetting and the ministry will send it to the Chief Adviser and the President for approval," Salam said.
The secretary explained that the amended rules, once approved, would allow a candidate to seek re-evaluation of his/her scores on payment of a certain amount of fee.
The current provisions consider the BCS scores confidential and do not allow any re-evaluation.
"The draft proposes that the application forms of BCS exams can be submitted to a deputy commissioner. A candidate can submit the application to the DC office of his/her district," Salam said.
A PSC source said authorities had urged the government to amend several provisions of the BCS recruitment rules as the BCS exams had been questioned over the last few years.
The proposed amendments seek to update the test system and ensure transparency and accountability in the examination system.
The PSC also proposed to the government to consider ways to reduce harassment, time and money of the job seekers.
