BCS recruitment circular on Nov 30
Wednesday, 24 August 2022
According to media reports, from now on the circular for Bangladesh Civil Service (BCS) will be published in November. The public Service Commission (PSC) has made the decision recently. Last year the circular was published on November 30, and this year the circular is expected to be published on the same day. This will be surely a good step. Earlier, job seekers were waiting for a new circular for the whole year.
The decision of PSC to publish the dates for preliminary, written and viva voce tests in the November 30 circular will also help job seekers plan better. Together such planning will help university authorities make their academic calendar, publish results early so that even the latest batches can also apply for BCS admission tests.
It is good news for the job seekers that PSC is trying to reduce the period of recruitment. This will benefit different government agencies, they will get new officers on time.
Following the example of PSC, if authorities of other agencies come forward and make a plan about giving job circulars every year on the same dates, that might be better. Also coordination among different agencies about declaring recruitment test dates will help job seekers. They can appear for a maximum number of tests.
