Involve the PSC

Bangladesh Bank has cancelled the recruitment examination for eight state-run banks, following a demonstration by the candidates who could not sit for the MCQ test. Nearly 1,80,000 candidates from all over the country thronged Dhaka to appear at the examination, but the gross mismanagement of the management department of Dhaka University nipped many applicants' hope in the bud.

Four to five students had to sit on a single bench built to accommodate only two. There was no seating plan in the room, allowing some students to collaborate with each other to solve questions.

Fortunately, the Bankers' Selection Committee cancelled the exams. The committee should take help from PSC, a public agency tasked with holding many public recruitment exams, instead of a department of a university while conducting such large-scale recruitment exams in future.
