Increase age limit for govt. jobs

Md. Nahid Iftekhar, Muradpur, Chittagong
The life expectancy of the people of our country is increasing and so is the retirement age. But the age limit for entering the government jobs has remained unchanged for a long time. Because of session jam and diabolic politics, a public university student needs eight to nine years to complete his/her university education. As a result, the dream of becoming a BCS cadre by competing in the BCS exams shatters into pieces. It is imperative that the government increases the age limit for the government jobs considering all these factors. We urge the authorities concerned to increase the age limit to 35 years from 30 years.
