The Public Administration Reform Commission has recommended that the BCS recruitment process be completed within 18 months, covering the entire period from the application call to the final recruitment. This proposal aims to streamline the process, which currently takes up to four years. According to the commission, the BCS preliminary and written tests should be finished within the first 12 months, while the remaining recruitment procedures should be completed in the following six months. The timeline proposed suggests that the recruitment circular should be issued by the second week of January, followed by the preliminary exams in early April. The results would be published by May, with the written exams taking place in June and the results released in December. The viva-voce would then be held in January and February, and the final results would be announced by the third week of April. Following health screening and police certification, candidates would receive their appointment gazette in June, enabling them to join their roles by July 1, with training starting in August. The commission also proposed changes to the exam structure, including six compulsory subjects and six optional papers in fields such as arts, social sciences, and law. The exams would be scored out of 100, and candidates would need at least 60 in each subject to pass. Candidates who fail three times would be disqualified from future attempts, and the results would be published with a detailed breakdown to ensure transparency.
