Detailed Guide to Filing Application for the BCS Exam Successfully

The Bangladesh Civil Service (BCS) examination is one of the most competitive exams in Bangladesh, providing civil service jobs under the government. In every session, tens of thousands of aspirants work hard for limited spots. To kick off your journey, you must handle the application process. Here’s a thorough guide to help you apply smoothly.

Step 1: Visit the Official Website

To initiate your application, visit the BPSC portal: www.bpsc.gov.bd. This is the authorized portal for BCS exam announcements and applications. Keep away from unofficial websites.

Step 2: Download the Circular

Find the latest BCS exam circular under the “Circulars”. The circular provides key information, such as applicant guidelines, application deadlines, examination syllabus, and other notable instructions.

Step 3: Check Eligibility

Study the guidelines, which include age limits, educational qualifications, and citizenship requirements. The usual age limit is 21 to 30 years for general candidates, but exceptions are available for specific groups such as freedom fighters’ heirs or disabled individuals.

Step 4: Register Online

Navigate to the application portal (Form 1). Fill in all compulsory fields, such as applicant information, academic qualifications, and job preferences. Recheck for any discrepancies. Providing inaccurate information can lead to rejection.

Step 5: Upload Documents

You must upload a fresh copyright-sized photograph (300 pixels by 300 pixels, file size below 100KB) and your signature (with dimensions 300x80, file size below 60KB). Make sure these comply with the requirements mentioned in the circular.

Step 6: Pay the Application Fee

After uploading your application, you will be given a User ID. Use this ID to transfer the application fee through Teletalk SMS services. The fee is usually BDT 700 for general candidates and 100 BDT for others. Follow the guidelines provided in the circular.

Step 7: Confirm Submission

Once the fee is paid, you will be provided with a confirmation SMS with a payment reference ID. Keep this ID for future reference. Go back to the application portal to confirm the payment status.

Final Tips

File your application well before the deadline to avoid last-minute glitches.

Print a copy of the application summary for future use, such as for obtaining the admit card.

By sticking to these guidelines, you can register without hassle for the BCS exam and progress towards your ambition in the Bangladesh Civil Service. Good luck!
