The Bangladesh Public Service Commission, PSC, has published a schedule to resume the postponed viva voce of the 44th Bangladesh Civil Service, BCS, exams.

Out of the total 5,862 candidates who passed the written tests, the viva voce of 1,890 will take place from January 5 to February 5 in the first phase, a PSC notice said on Tuesday night, December 24.

The first phase viva will be held at the PSC head office in Dhaka’s Agargaon.
