The highly coveted BCS examination is one of the most competitive exams in Bangladesh, granting civil service jobs under the government. Every year, a multitude of aspirants prepare intensely for limited spots. To begin your journey, you must execute the application process. Here’s a detailed guide to help you apply effortlessly.


 

Step 1: Visit the Official Website

To start your application process, visit the BPSC’s official website: www.bpsc.gov.bd. This is the exclusive portal for BCS exam announcements and applications. Keep away from unofficial websites.
 

Step 2: Download the Circular

Check for the latest BCS exam circular under the “Circulars”. The circular includes important information, such as eligibility criteria, application deadlines, examination syllabus, and other key instructions.
 

Step 3: Check Eligibility

Carefully read the eligibility criteria, which include age limits, educational qualifications, and citizenship requirements. The typical age limit is between 21 and 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 BCS application page (Form 1). Provide all necessary fields, such as personal details, academic qualifications, and job preferences. Cross-check for any inaccuracies. Providing wrong information can lead to application invalidation.
 

Step 5: Upload Documents

You must upload a latest copyright-sized photograph (dimension of 300x300 pixels, file size below 100KB) and your signature (with dimensions 300x80, file size below 60 kilobytes). Check that these are as per the guidelines mentioned in the circular.
 

Step 6: Pay the Application Fee

After completing the form submission, you will be provided with a User ID. Use this ID to process the application fee through Teletalk SMS services. The fee is usually 700 taka for general candidates and BDT 100 for others. Follow the procedure 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

Submit your application well before the deadline to bypass last-minute errors.

Print a copy of the submitted form for future use, such as for getting the admit card.

By completing these steps, you can successfully apply for the BCS exam and get one step nearer your desired position in the Bangladesh Civil Service. Best of luck!
