the Ministry of Public Administration recently issued a revised notification for the 43rd Bangladesh Civil Service (BCS), replacing the previous announcement from October 15. This update, published on December 30, excluded 267 candidates across various cadres. Here’s the detailed explanation provided by the Ministry.
Breakdown of Exclusions
Initially, 2,163 candidates were recommended for recruitment on January 25 by the Public Service Commission (PSC). Among these, several candidates were found unsuitable during the pre-appointment character verification and medical tests.
October 15 Notification: Excluded 99 candidates, comprising 40 who were absent from medical tests and 59 deemed unfit based on agency reports.
December 30 Notification: An additional 168 candidates were excluded, bringing the total to 267.
Reason for Reassessment
The ministry clarified that questions arose about the transparency and acceptance of the recruitment process. To ensure trust in the government hiring process, further scrutiny of the candidates’ backgrounds was conducted through the National Security Intelligence (NSI) and the Directorate General of Forces Intelligence (DGFI).
Reports from these agencies flagged 227 candidates as having adverse remarks regarding their pre-appointment character, rendering them temporarily unsuitable for recruitment.
Final Decision
Taking into account the findings:
- 40 candidates absent from medical tests.
- 227 flagged by intelligence agencies.
A total of 267 candidates were excluded, and the revised notification approved recruitment for 1,896 candidates.
Opportunity for Reconsideration
The Ministry of Public Administration has assured that excluded candidates, particularly the 227 flagged for adverse remarks, can apply for reconsideration. This process remains open to ensure fairness and transparency.
