Over 2,500 candidates who have received final recommendations from the Public Service Commission (PSC) are facing uncertainty due to delays in the official gazette notification. These candidates successfully completed the 45th and 49th Bangladesh Civil Service (BCS) examinations – General and Special, respectively – but cannot join their posts without the gazette. The delay is causing significant hardship, preventing them from starting their careers and accessing associated benefits. Candidates report facing financial strain and professional stagnation as a result of the ongoing wait. The PSC has reportedly communicated with the relevant authorities regarding the issue, but a resolution remains pending. This situation highlights bureaucratic bottlenecks impacting timely appointments to civil service positions. The prolonged delay is causing considerable distress among the affected job seekers.
