The BCS Examination (Bengali: বিসিএস পরীক্ষা) is a nationwide competitive examination in Bangladesh conducted by the Bangladesh Public Service Commission (BPSC) for recruitment to the various Bangladesh Civil Service cadres, including BCS (Administration), BCS (Audit & Accounts), BCS (Taxation), BCS (Customs and Excise), BCS (Foreign Affairs), and BCS (Police) among others.[1] The examination is conducted in three phases - the preliminary examination, the written examination and the viva voce.
Process
Bangladesh Civil Service Examination is based on the British Raj - era Imperial Civil Service. The Civil Services Examination of Bangladesh is considered as one of the toughest examinations in Bangladesh. On an average, 450,000 to 500,000 candidates apply every year and the percentage of candidates appearing is roughly 90%. Aspirants must complete a three-stage process, with a final success rate of about 0.2% for all cadres and 0.05% for general cadres, although it varies from years to years exam.
Phase I: Preliminary examination - This is a qualifying test usually held in May/June every year. Notification for this is published about one month before the exam. Results are published about one month after the exam.
Phase II: Written examination - This is the main test, usually held in October/November/December every year. Notification for this is published about one month before the exam. Results are usually published 6 to 10 months after the exam.

The final result is published about 1.5 to 2 months after finishing the viva voce.

Viva voce (interview)
Candidates who pass the written phase successfully are qualified for the interview commonly known as viva voce. Success rate in this rigorous phase is quite lower than other phases. Current marks allocation for viva voce is 200.
Final selection
BPSC selects the candidates on the basis of the aggregated marks of the written exam (obtained marks out of 900) and viva voce (obtained marks out of 200). BPSC makes a merit list for those who obtain pass marks in the written and viva exam. Preliminary marks are not considered in this regard. Previously, 45% of the selection was made on the basis of merit and rest 55% according to several quotas, but now that the quota system has been cancelled, 100% of the selection is based on merit. BPSC recommends the selected qualified candidates to the Ministry of Public Administration. The ministry publishes the gazette of the selected candidates after a rigorous inspection of medical tests by DGHS, Police verification and NSI verification. Generally, the entire process from the advertisement to the final date of joining takes one year.Salary Structure
