PSC Set to Announce 47th BCS Circular and Determine Number of Positions Soon

The Bangladesh Public Service Commission (PSC) is preparing to publish the 47th Bangladesh Civil Service (BCS) circular, with plans to finalize the number of available positions in the near future. Regular discussions between the PSC and the Ministry of Public Administration are underway, focusing on developing a comprehensive plan for the upcoming BCS examination.

An official from the PSC shared, “We have already started preparations for the 47th BCS. The PSC Chairman has assigned Professor Delwar Hossain the overall responsibility for the coordination of this BCS. In every BCS exam, a member is tasked with overseeing the entire process, and we have started this planning earlier than usual to ensure the process is completed on time.”

When asked about the publication date of the 47th BCS circular, the PSC Examination Controller stated, “The circular will be published as per our usual schedule. This time, we plan to include a detailed timetable for each step of the process, so that we can complete everything in a timely manner.”

PSC’s Strategic Plan: Reducing the Timeframe for 47th BCS

The PSC has undertaken an extensive plan to streamline the 47th BCS process. From the release of the circular to the preliminary, written, and viva exams, the entire timeline will be fixed in advance. The aim is to implement a strategy to minimize the overall processing time, allowing candidates to avoid the long waiting periods experienced in previous BCS exams. To achieve this goal, the assigned member in charge has been instructed to finalize the plan.

PSC sources revealed that regular discussions are being held with the Ministry of Public Administration to quickly determine the number of positions for the 47th BCS. The PSC has already requested demand letters from various ministries and departments. Once the number of positions is finalized, the circular will be released.
