46th BCS preliminary to start on April 26

The 46th BCS preliminary examination will take place on April 26, the Public Service Commission (PSC) said today.

The decision was taken at a special meeting of the commission, according to a member of the PSC.

"The commission has decided to hold the preliminary examination on April 26. Additionally, the PSC has resolved to expedite the publication of the preliminary exam results and schedule the written test promptly to mitigate the setback incurred by its postponement," he said.

The 46th BCS preliminary exam was scheduled for March 9 of this year. The PSC also published a notification in this regard. However, the examination date was changed due to city corporation elections.

The 46th BCS preliminary examination will be held jointly in Dhaka, Rajshahi, Chittagong, Khulna, Barishal, Sylhet, Rangpur, and Mymensingh centers. The two-hour test will begin at 10:00 a.m.

Examination venues, seating arrangements, and other instructions will be available on the websites of Teletalk Bangladesh Ltd. at http://bpsc.teletalk.com.bd and the BPSC at www.bpsc.gov.bd.

The PSC published the 46th BCS circular, seeking applications for 3,140 positions. The majority of the positions will be filled by health cadre. Approximately 338,000 candidates have applied for the exam.
