Age limit of BCS candidates
The Public Service Commission has recommended increasing the age limit for BCS examinees in its annual report of 2010. But the government has taken no step to enact it. The Judicial Service Commission has fixed the age limit of the candidates for the position of an Assistant Judge at 32 years.
The Ministry of Public Administration has recommended increasing the retirement age of public servants up to 62 years. So, for the greater interest of the nation, we think the age limit for the BCS candidates should be fixed at 32 years. Our life expectancy has increased to 66.80 years today from 44.10 years in1971.
So the demand for extension of age limit is quite logical. It is the constitutional duty of the government to implement the recommendation made by PSC. I would like to draw the attention of the government as well as all concerned to this matter.
