What about indigenous candidates' quota?
According to the prevailing system, Bangladesh government should allocate certain reserved seats (quota) in public services and in the government education institutions for the disadvantaged indigenous people. Recently PSC has been overtly criticized over quota issue, because it has eliminated hundreds of indigenous candidates from the 34th BCS preliminary's revised result (The New Age, July 14, 2013). The excluded indigenous candidates claimed that the assessment of PSC was unjust, discriminatory and against fundamental human rights that have been enshrined in the national constitution. The stealing of quotas from the eligible indigenous candidates broadly demonstrates that the fundamental principles of equity and equal opportunities have been distorted.
