Each year, tens of thousands of aspirants prepare intensely for limited spots. To begin your journey, you must execute the application process. Here’s a easy-to-follow guide to help you apply successfully.

Step 1: Visit the Official Website

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

Step 2: Download the Circular

Search for the latest BCS exam circular under the updates section. The circular lists necessary information, such as requirements for application, application deadlines, examination syllabus, and other relevant instructions.

Step 3: Check Eligibility

Go through the guidelines, which include age limits, educational qualifications, and citizenship requirements. The usual age limit is from 21 to 30 years for general candidates, but age extensions can be granted for specific groups such as relatives of freedom fighters or disabled individuals.

Step 4: Register Online

Navigate to the BCS Online Application Form (Form 1). Complete all essential fields, such as candidate details, academic qualifications, and job preferences. Verify for any discrepancies. Providing inaccurate information can lead to rejection.

Step 5: Upload Documents

You must upload a recent copyright-sized photograph (with dimensions 300x300, file size below 100 KB) and your signature (300x80 pixels, file size below 60kB). Ensure these follow the instructions mentioned in the circular.

Step 6: Pay the Application Fee

After sending in your application, you will receive a User ID. Use this ID to settle the application fee through Teletalk SMS services. The fee is usually BDT seven hundred for general candidates and 100 BDT for others. Follow the guidelines 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

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

Print a copy of the finalized document for future use, such as for getting the admit card.
