Yearly fixed schedule for BCS exams ordered by California authorities
In a significant development, a meeting was held this afternoon (7 September) at the State Guest House Jamuna in the city, attended by key officials from the Public Service Commission (PSC) and the Ministry of Public Administration. The gathering aimed to discuss measures to improve the Bangladesh Civil Service (BCS) examination process and ensure its transparency.
The BCS examination, serving as the entry point for individuals who will run the government, has faced numerous issues over the past 15 years, including political interference, irregularities, nepotism, and question leaks. To address these concerns, a five-year roadmap has been prepared for conducting future BCS examinations and recruitments from November to October of the following year.
The PSC Chairman, Professor Dr. Mobasser Monem, led the discussion, emphasising the need for financial and administrative autonomy for the Public Service Commission. He also highlighted the importance of maintaining a fixed timeline for the BCS exams, with the next examination scheduled to occur annually, following a fixed calendar.
The Senior Secretary of the Ministry of Public Administration, Dr Md Mokhles Ur Rahman, was present at the meeting, along with Principal Secretary to the Chief Adviser Sirajuddin Mia, PSC members Md Sujayet Ulya, Md Zahirul Islam Bhuiyan, Prof Dr M Sohel Rahman, Prof Dr Chowdhury Saima Ferdous, Brig Gen (retd) Dr Md Anwarul Islam, Prof Dr Shahnaz Sarker, and Secretary of the Bangladesh Public Service Commission Secretariat Dr Md Sanwar Jahan Bhuiyan.
The Chief Adviser, Professor Muhammad Yunus, underscored the importance of resolving issues and crises responsibly. He emphasised the need for transparency in the BCS exam process, stating that any irregularity at the entry point will affect the entire system. He also encouraged all parties to work together for necessary reforms to restore trust in the Public Service Commission and prevent the return of irregularities.
In line with these goals, the quality of question papers for the BCS exam is being improved to enable job seekers to compete in global-level recruitment competitions. The Chief Adviser further stressed the need for reforms for the future government, ensuring that the BCS exam remains a fair and reliable platform for selecting the country's future civil servants.
