The highly coveted 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 step-by-step guide to help you apply smoothly.


 

Step 1: Visit the Official Website

To initiate your application, visit the Bangladesh Public Service Commission website: 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 “Notices”. The circular provides all essential information, such as qualifications needed, application deadlines, examination syllabus, and other relevant instructions.
 

Step 3: Check Eligibility

Go through the requirements, which include age limits, educational qualifications, and citizenship requirements. The standard age limit is between 21 and 30 years for general candidates, but relaxations are offered for specific groups such as freedom fighter descendants or disabled individuals.
 

Step 4: Register Online

Navigate to the BCS Online Application Form (Form 1). Complete all essential fields, such as your personal information, academic qualifications, and job preferences. Double-check for any typos. Providing wrong information can lead to application invalidation.
 

Step 5: Upload Documents

You must upload a latest copyright-sized photograph (300x300 pixels, file size below 100kB) and your signature (300x80 pixels, file size below 60kB). Ensure these adhere to the rules mentioned in the circular.
 

Step 6: Pay the Application Fee

After completing the form submission, you will obtain a User ID. Use this ID to transfer the application fee through Teletalk SMS services. The fee is usually 700 BDT for general candidates and 100 taka for others. Follow the SMS format provided in the circular.
 

Step 7: Confirm Submission

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

Final Tips

Finalize your application well before the deadline to stay away from last-minute glitches.

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

By adhering to these instructions, you can finalize your application for the BCS exam and move closer your aspiration in the Bangladesh Civil Service. All the best!
