About BSCS and this exam

BSCS is part of Bangladesh Bank and sits at its head office in Motijheel, Dhaka. Its e-recruitment portal takes applications for Bangladesh Bank and for 14 state-owned banks, specialised banks and financial institutions.

This round is a one-hour preliminary test (MCQ type) worth 100 marks. Notice No. 348/2026 also sets out a 200-mark written test as the next stage.

Posts by bank and institution

Circular No. 194/2026 splits the 903 posts like this:

The circular gives the salary scale as Tk 22,000–53,060 under the National Pay Scale 2015. You ranked these institutions by preference in your online application. The circular says that order cannot change after you applied.

Exam date, time and centres

Your roll number decides your centre. Here is the full list from notice No. 357/2026:

The ranges appear exactly as BSCS printed them. Every range spans more roll numbers than the candidate count beside it.

If your roll number is not in the table

The printed list skips four numbers: 152769, 180050, 205220 and 221674. With one of these rolls, check the centre printed on your admit card. Email BSCS at info.bscs@bb.org.bd before exam day to confirm it.

How to download the duplicate admit card

The first admit card window has closed. Only candidates who downloaded the admit card within that window can get a duplicate. The duplicate window opened on 5 November 2026 and stays open until just before the exam starts.

1. Open the Print Duplicate Admit Card page on erecruitment.bb.org.bd.
2. Choose Search By Job Tracking Number and type your tracking number. It starts with 26101.
3. You can instead use Search By CV Identification. Pick Senior Officer(General) [26101] and type your CV ID.
4. Enter your password and the security text, then click Generate Duplicate PDF.
5. Print the PDF on white A4 paper of 80 gsm, as the portal asks. If the Bangla text looks broken, install the font the page links to.

Problems candidates run into

“Sorry, you did not download Admit card in the due time earlier.”

The portal shows this message if you missed the original download window. The duplicate page cannot help you then. Notice No. 348/2026 says nobody can sit the exam without an admit card.

Forgot the password

Use Forget password under Applicant CV. You need your CV identification number, your date of birth, and either your email address or your phone number.

Forgot the CV ID

Use Search CV Track Id. Enter your name, your father’s and mother’s names and your date of birth. You also need the SSC result publication date you gave when you applied.

Still stuck

BSCS answers questions at info.bscs@bb.org.bd. Both notices give that address as the only contact.

Marks distribution

The MCQ test has 100 marks:

A correct answer earns 1 mark. A wrong answer costs 0.25 marks. Four wrong answers wipe out one right answer, so guess with care.

Written test (next stage)

BSCS has already fixed the 200-mark written test content:

The Bangla grammar part covers spelling rules, sentence correction and the meaning of proverbs. Karak, samas, sandhi, one-word substitution and near-homophones are also in it.

English proficiency covers sentence structure, subject-verb agreement, finite and non-finite verbs and transformation. It also covers speech, clauses and phrases, group verbs, idioms and the right form of verbs. The notices do not give a written test date yet.

After the written test

Circular No. 194/2026 names three stages: preliminary, written and viva. Written-test passers bring certificates and other proof to the viva for every detail they gave online. A substantive error or false detail found there blocks you from the viva.

Already in a job? You need your employer’s prior approval for the application. Show a copy of it at the viva.

What to bring

Bring one printed copy of the admit card, with nothing written on it. Notice No. 357/2026 allows no other paper, and the rules below list what is banned.
