The Bangladesh Public Service Commission (PSC) has issued mandatory directives for candidates provisionally qualified for the general cadre viva voce in the 50th Bangladesh Civil Service (BCS) examination, requiring them to submit key credentials via an online portal before attending their interviews.
According to an official press release signed by Masuma Afreen, Controller of Examinations (Cadre) at the PSC, candidates must complete a designated digital submission form and upload scanned copies of all required credentials prior to their oral examinations.
The directive applies to 1,470 general cadre candidates whose interview schedule was published on 29 July. Candidates are instructed to follow the submission guidelines carefully, ensuring that all personal data and academic documentation are uploaded accurately.
Digital Compliance Required for Oral Examination
Commission authorities warned that failure to provide the requested information or submit scanned certificates in the prescribed format could prevent candidates from sitting the oral examination. Candidates must upload all relevant academic transcripts, national identity verification, and requisite civil service application forms well in advance of their scheduled interview dates.
“Submission of all required documents prior to the oral examination is strictly mandatory. If a candidate fails to accurately complete the form or upload the necessary files, their viva voce may not be conducted.”

The recruitment process for the 50th BCS reached a major milestone on 23 July, when the commission published the results of the written examinations. A total of 6,165 candidates passed the written evaluation provisionally, qualifying for the final oral exam stage across general, professional, and technical cadres.
Recruitment Process and Civil Service Pipeline
The Bangladesh Civil Service examination represents the nation’s primary public employment recruitment drive, attracting hundreds of thousands of university graduates annually. Conducted across three distinct phases—a preliminary screening test, comprehensive written examinations, and a final oral interview—the multi-stage evaluation selects personnel for administrative, foreign service, police, and technical cadre positions.
The 50th BCS recruitment drive continues to progress through its scheduled evaluation phases. With the written results finalised, the commission is now conducting viva voce sessions in structured batches, beginning with the general cadre cohort.
Candidates have been urged to verify their uploaded files carefully to avoid technical errors that could jeopardise their candidacy at this final stage of the selection process.
