Their salary scale will be Tk 44,000 to Tk 105,900 under the National Pay Scale 2026.

Training and probation requirements

The appointees must complete basic training at the Bangladesh Public Administration Training Centre or another training institution designated by the government. After completing basic training, they must undergo professional and specialised training relevant to their posts at institutions designated by the government.

They will serve a two-year probationary period, which the government may extend by up to two additional years if necessary. If a probationer is considered unsuitable for continued service during this period, the government may dismiss them without assigning a reason and without consulting the Bangladesh Public Service Commission.

Candidates will be confirmed in service after successfully completing the required training, passing the departmental examination and satisfactorily completing their probationary period.

Before attending the basic training, each appointee must submit an undertaking to the authority releasing them from their workplace for training. They must also execute a bond on Tk 300 non-judicial stamp paper, with a guarantor, pledging to refund the salary and allowances received during training, any advances, travel allowances and other benefits drawn for training, and all expenses incurred for their training if they resign during probation or within three years after completing it.

If an appointee remains absent from duty after submitting a resignation but before it is accepted by the government, any money owed to the government under the bond may be recovered under the Public Demands Recovery Act, 1913. Disciplinary action may also be taken against the employee under the Government Servants (Discipline and Appeal) Rules, 2018.

The seniority of the appointees will be determined in accordance with the prevailing government rules and regulations based on the results of the 45th BCS Examination 2022.

Joining deadline and orientation

The notification directs the candidates to report in person on the morning of November 1 to submit their joining letters for the post of lecturer to the secretary of the Secondary and Higher Education Division. The designated joining venue is the Rural Development Academy in Bogura.

The notification warns that anyone who fails to join on the specified date will be considered unwilling to take up the appointment, and their appointment letter will be treated as cancelled.
