Relax quota system in BCS
The results of the 37th BCS written exam are out. In total, 5,379 candidates passed the written exam. Of them, 2,943 candidates are in the general cadres, while 735 candidates belong to the technical cadres. The remaining 1,701 candidates may be chosen for both general and technical cadres.
However, many of them may not be recommended in spite of numerous vacancies just because of the quota system. In the last two years, PSC relaxed the quota system. Yet nearly 427 posts remained vacant in the technical cadre category due to scarcity of candidates. However, if the PSC had not relaxed the quota system, the number of vacant posts would have been 800-900.
We hope that PSC will further relax the quota system for the 37th BCS exam so that more candidates can fulfil the vacancies.
