The BCS (Bangladesh Civil Service) examination is one of the most competitive exams in Bangladesh, offering civil service jobs under the government. Annually, a large number of aspirants prepare intensely for limited spots. To begin your journey, you must go through the application process. Here’s a comprehensive guide to help you apply successfully.


 

Step 1: Visit the Official Website

To start your application process, visit the official website of the Bangladesh Public Service Commission (BPSC): www.bpsc.gov.bd. This is the only portal for BCS exam announcements and applications. Stay cautious from unofficial websites.
 

Step 2: Download the Circular

Look for the latest BCS exam circular under the “Circulars”. The circular provides key information, such as qualifications needed, application deadlines, examination syllabus, and other relevant instructions.
 

Step 3: Check Eligibility

Thoroughly review the eligibility criteria, which include age limits, educational qualifications, and citizenship requirements. The typical age limit is 21–30 years for general candidates, but modifications can be granted for specific groups such as freedom fighter family members or disabled individuals.
 

Step 4: Register Online

Navigate to the BCS application page (Form 1). Input all compulsory fields, such as basic information, academic qualifications, and job preferences. Recheck for any discrepancies. Providing false information can lead to disqualification.
 

Step 5: Upload Documents

You must upload a updated copyright-sized photograph (dimension of 300x300 pixels, file size below 100 kilobytes max) and your signature (dimension of 300x80 pixels, file size below 60 kilobytes max). Confirm 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 submit the application fee through Teletalk SMS services. The fee is usually 700 BDT for general candidates and Tk. 100 for others. Follow the specified method provided in the circular.
 

Step 7: Confirm Submission

Once the fee is paid, you will receive a confirmation SMS with a unique transaction code. 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 technical issues.

Print a copy of the final application form for future use, such as for retrieving the admit card.

By complying with these processes, you can successfully apply for the BCS exam and move closer your goal in the Bangladesh Civil Service. Best wishes!
