To kickstart the process, visit the BPSC’s official website: www.bpsc.gov.bd. This is the exclusive portal for BCS exam announcements and applications. Stay alert from unofficial websites.
Step 2: Download the Circular
Navigate to the latest BCS exam circular under the relevant section. The circular lists necessary information, such as qualifications needed, application deadlines, examination syllabus, and other critical instructions.
Step 3: Check Eligibility
Study the standards, which include age limits, educational qualifications, and citizenship requirements. The usual age limit is from 21 to 30 years for general candidates, but adjustments are available for specific groups such as freedom fighters’ heirs or disabled individuals.
Step 4: Register Online
Navigate to the application portal (Form 1). Input all required fields, such as basic information, academic qualifications, and job preferences. Recheck for any errors. 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.
