21,397 candidates pass 46th BCS preliminary exam
The Bangladesh Public Service Commission (BPSC) published the results of the 46th Bangladesh Civil Service (BCS) preliminary examination on Wednesday.
A total of 21,397 candidates have passed the 46th BCS preliminary examination, the BPSC announced in information in a notice this afternoon.
The revision saw the inclusion of an additional 10,759 candidates, bringing the total number of qualifiers to more than double compared to the initial results published on May 9.
Earlier, only 10,638 candidates had been selected for the written exam.
PSC’s spokesperson SM Matiur Rahman confirmed that those who had already been selected for the written test under the earlier results will not be affected, and the newly qualified candidates will join them for the upcoming exam.
The revision follows political developments, with the new results being published after the fall of the Awami League government.
The 46th BCS advertisement was published on Nov 30, 2023, with the preliminary exam taking place on Apr 26, 2024.
Following the fall of the Sheikh Hasina regime on Aug 5, the BNP demanded the cancellation of all processes for the 44th, 45th, and 46th BCS exams.
In October, the PSC appointed a new chairman and four members, who subsequently decided to cancel the 44th BCS viva exam and revise the 46th BCS preliminary results.
