- For a current examination, follow the latest notice published by BPSC.
What the earlier OMR tender meant
Before the recruitment circular was issued, BPSC published a procurement notice connected with MCQ OMR answer sheets. It indicated administrative preparation for an examination, but it was not the 40th BCS circular and did not confirm the final publication date, vacancy total or application schedule.
Historical online application process
Candidates submitted the BPSC Form-1 online through the BPSC Teletalk portal during the stated application window. The circular required eligible applicants to complete the form, retain the Applicant's Copy and pay the examination fee by Teletalk prepaid mobile SMS within the applicable time.
Do not submit a current application from this old notice. The preserved portal address was bpsc.teletalk.com.bd. Use the current BPSC website to find the notice and registration route for any active BCS examination.
