The prestigious BCS examination is one of the most prestigious exams in Bangladesh, providing civil service jobs under the government. Every year, a large number of aspirants vie for limited spots. To kick off your journey, you must handle the application process. Here’s a detailed guide to help you apply effortlessly.


 

Step 1: Visit the Official Website

To kickstart the process, visit the BPSC portal: www.bpsc.gov.bd. This is the only portal for BCS exam announcements and applications. Be careful from unofficial websites.
 

Step 2: Download the Circular

Navigate to the latest BCS exam circular under the “Notices”. The circular includes important information, such as eligibility criteria, application deadlines, examination syllabus, and other critical instructions.
 

Step 3: Check Eligibility

Go through the standards, which include age limits, educational qualifications, and citizenship requirements. The commonly required age limit is 21–30 years for general candidates, but exceptions are available for specific groups such as freedom fighter family members or disabled individuals.
 

Step 4: Register Online

Navigate to the official application form (Form 1). Fill in all required fields, such as personal details, academic qualifications, and job preferences. Cross-check for any errors. Providing invalid information can lead to dismissal.
 

Step 5: Upload Documents

You must upload a current copyright-sized photograph (dimension of 300x300 pixels, file size below 100KB) and your signature (300px x 80px, file size below 60kB). Confirm these meet the specifications mentioned in the circular.
 

Step 6: Pay the Application Fee

After uploading your application, you will be sent a User ID. Use this ID to pay the application fee through Teletalk SMS services. The fee is usually Tk. 700 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 receive a confirmation SMS with a unique transaction code. Keep this ID for future reference. Log back into the application portal to confirm the payment status.
 

Final Tips

Complete your application well before the deadline to steer clear of last-minute technical issues.

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