Candidates participating in various BCS exams have proposed reducing the marks for the Bengali subject in the BCS written exam from 200 to 100. On Thursday, January 16, at a stakeholder discussion titled "Thoughts on What Kind of BPSC We Want and Necessary Reforms," held at the PSC office in Agargaon, Dhaka, BCS exam candidates put forward this proposal. In their reform proposal for the written exam, the candidates suggested either setting the Bengali exam to 100 marks or conducting separate exams for Bengali Paper I and Paper II. They emphasized shifting focus from rote memorization to analytical and creative writing. Additionally, it was proposed to allow at least a two-week break before the technical written exam and to offer candidates the option to change their exam centers before the written test. Instead of setting a passing mark of 450 for the written exam, they suggested pre-announcing how many times the number of candidates will be passed. They also proposed that examiners should evaluate answer sheets at the PSC premises rather than sending them home. Candidates also made proposals for reforms in the preliminary and oral exams. Preliminary Exam Reform Proposals: The notification for each BCS could specify how many candidates will pass the preliminary exam. Candidates could be informed of their marks along with the cut marks via SMS with their preliminary exam results. After the BCS preliminary exam, a draft answer sheet could be uploaded to the PSC's website for seven days. If candidates find any errors, they could email the PSC with references. After this process, the PSC could upload a final answer sheet and begin OMR checking, similar to the West Bengal Civil Service. Indicating on the question paper whether rough work can be done on it would help candidates. Many examination centers do not allow rough work on the question paper due to unclear instructions, which increases the risk of failure for candidates. Candidates requested that question papers be provided at the end of the exam. PSC Chairman Professor Mobasser Monem remarked that this was a historic day as such workshops or discussions with students had never been held before. He expressed the intention to conduct more of these activities in the future. The suggestions and opinions for reforms and changes from the students would be taken seriously, and appropriate recommendations would be implemented. Members of the commission, the Secretary of the Commission Secretariat, and related officials were also present at the event.
