35th BCS Vacant Posts: General candidates to fill priority quota posts
The cabinet yesterday approved a proposal for filling the vacant BCS posts of priority quotas, including freedom fighter's quota, from the merit list of general candidates, subject to unavailability of eligible candidates.
Under the proposal, the vacant reserved posts for dependents of freedom fighters, females and small ethnic minorities of the 35th Bangladesh Civil Service (BCS) exams would be filled after adding those to the vacant posts of respective cadres in the 36th BCS, Cabinet Secretary Mohammad Shafiul Alam told reporters after the weekly cabinet meeting at the Secretariat.
Around 338 reserved posts under the freedom fighter, female and small ethnic minority quotas of the 35th BCS remain vacant which would be filled from the merit lists of general candidates of the 36th BCS exams, he added.
The cabinet also approved another proposal for relaxation of a provision for preserving the vacant posts of the priority quota only for the 36th BCS exams, he said, adding that as the priority quota has been relaxed, those posts would be filled from the merit lists of general candidates.
The meeting endorsed another proposal to appoint 302 candidates as the Ansar and VDP circle adjutant and 600 nurses from those who passed the 35th BCS exams, but were not picked for cadre services.
There are 56 percent quotas in the BCS, including 30 percent for dependents of freedom fighters.
Earlier in 2010, the government decided to keep the posts vacant under the freedom fighters quota if eligible candidates were not found.
