No BCS exam sans new rule: Job seekers upset

UNB, Dhaka :
Frustration grips civil service job seekers as there will be no fresh circular for the Bangladesh Civil Service (BCS) examination until the proposed BCS Examination Rule 2013 is formulated.
Officials at the Public Administration Ministry and the Bangladesh Public Service Commission (PSC) said the much-sought circular for the 35th BCS examination has been delayed because they have decided to hold the exam under the new rule.
However, it has been a tradition that BCS circulars appear in the first quarter each year.
The 34th circular was issued on February 7, 2013, while the previous one on February 29, 2012.
The Public Administration Ministry drafted the rule following a proposal sent by the PSC and sent it to the Law Ministry for vetting, said an official at the Public Administration Ministry.
“The gazette notification will be issued once it is approved by the President,” he added.
Asked about the delay in publishing the circular for the 35th BCS examination, PSC member Main Uddin Khandaker told UNB, “We hope we’ll get the new rule soon. The next BCS exam might be held with the new rule, but the final decision in this regard will be taken at a meeting of the commission.”
