Dhaka, Bangladesh – June 3, 2025: The Bangladesh Public Service Commission (PSC) today announced the date for the 47th BCS Written Test 2025. According to a press release issued by PSC Public Relations Officer SM Matiur Rahman, the written examinations are scheduled to be held on November 27, 2025.
The notification for the 47th BCS had previously detailed a total of 3,487 vacant cadre positions and 201 non-cadre positions, aiming for a total recruitment of 3,688 individuals through this BCS.
This announcement regarding the 47th BCS Written Test 2025 comes while the new schedule for the previously postponed 46th BCS Written Test 2025 is still awaited. The 46th BCS exams, originally scheduled to take place from May 8 to May 19, 2025, were postponed on April 27, 2025.
The decision to postpone the 46th BCS written test came after discussions with protesting students who had been holding demonstrations, including a hunger strike at Dhaka University’s Raju Sculpture. On Sunday, April 27, adviser to the Ministry of Youth and Sports, Asif Mahmud Sajib Bhuiyan, spoke with the students. PSC representatives Mohammad Aminul Islam and Mohammad Nazmul Amin Majumdar were also present. After nearly five hours of talks, the adviser announced the postponement.
Following that announcement, the students ended their hunger strike. However, student leaders stated that the postponement was not their main goal and that their movement for wider reforms, based on eight specific demands, would continue. Job seekers had cited concerns about overlapping exam schedules and demanded a clear roadmap for ongoing BCS exams, including the timely publication of results for the 44th and 45th BCS. Adviser Asif Mahmud Sajib Bhuiyan had mentioned that the PSC would discuss necessary reforms with the students, emphasizing cooperation for transparency in future recruitment.
While candidates look forward to the 47th BCS Written Test 2025 in November, they are also advised to follow the official PSC website for the new schedule for the 46th BCS Written Test and any further updates.
