3 options for 'unsuccessful' 27th BCS candidates: Adviser
Saturday, 22 November 2008
The government is considering three options for the agitating candidates who were successful in the first-phase result but later disqualified in the second phase result of the 27th BCS exam, the Education Adviser said Thursday night, reports UNB.
The options are -- creating new posts, giving them non-cadre gazetted posts or allow them to take part in the 29th BCS examination to be announced next January, Dr Hossain Zillur Rahman said after a two-hour meeting with the Dhaka University (DU) Vice-Chancellor (VC) Prof SMA Faiz at the VC's official residence.
Establishment Secretary AFM Solaiman Chowdhury, Prof Harun-or-Rashid, Prof Sadrul Amin, Prof Borhan Uddin Khan and syndicate member Prof Ahmed Kamal of Dhaka University, and ten of the unsuccessful candidates were present at the meeting.
Hossain Zillur told reporters that a special committee of the advisers headed by the chief adviser held a meeting Thursday afternoon and considered the issue of the BCS candidates.
Earlier, at around 9:15pm, the Education Adviser arrived at the Central Shaheed Minar and persuaded the candidates, on hunger strike since November 1, to withdraw their programme. After getting assurance from the adviser, the candidates cancelled the hunger strike programme but decided to stay at the Central Shaheed Minar until they receive appointments from the government.
