Eligibility and diploma disciplines
The circular invited applications from Bangladeshi citizens for 51 Sub-Assistant Engineer positions.

Because the notice grouped the approved disciplines under one post, candidates had to ensure that the discipline shown on their diploma matched one of the subjects listed in the circular.
The Grade-10 salary scale was Tk 16,000–38,640 under the National Pay Scale 2015. The circular also stated that BADC service rules and applicable government rules would govern the appointment.

The upper age limit was 32 for children of freedom fighters or martyred freedom fighters and for candidates with physical disabilities. Grandchildren of freedom fighters or martyred freedom fighters remained within the 18–30 range stated in the notice. An affidavit was not accepted as proof of age.

- Candidates completed the online form through the BADC Teletalk recruitment website between the opening and closing times stated in the circular.
- The application required a colour photograph measuring 300 × 300 pixels and a signature measuring 300 × 80 pixels.
- Before final submission, the applicant checked the entered information and then downloaded the Applicant’s Copy containing the User ID.

- The User ID and password were later required to download the admit card when the relevant notice became available.
The original post linked to the BADC Teletalk application and admit-card address. This historical endpoint should be used for a new recruitment only when a current BADC notice directs candidates to it.
BADC application fee payment by SMS
After submitting the online application, the candidate used the User ID shown on the Applicant’s Copy to complete the two-step fee payment from a Teletalk prepaid number.
First SMS:
BADC <space> User ID
Send to: 16222
Example: BADC ABCDEF
BADC <space> YES <space> PIN
Send to: 16222
Example: BADC YES 123456
Submitting the form alone did not complete the application. The circular required successful fee payment within the prescribed 72-hour period. Candidates were instructed to retain the Applicant’s Copy and the confirmation message for later use.
Selection process and BADC SAE exam preparation
The 2017 notice stated that eligible candidates would take a written examination and that only candidates who passed the written test would be called for the oral examination. It did not publish a subject-wise syllabus, question count, marks distribution or a named exam-conducting institution. Therefore, preparation for the BADC Sub-Assistant Engineer exam should combine the relevant diploma-engineering subjects with the instructions later issued through the admit card or examination notice.
Previous BADC questions and reliable job-preparation books can help candidates understand recurring technical and general sections. For schedule updates, see Upcoming Job Exam Dates and Marks Distribution. For additional competitive written-math practice, candidates may use the Bangladesh Bank Written Math Question Solution while following the requirements of their own examination.
