PSC meets urgently on 46th BCS final list and 50th BCS preliminary results

The Public Service Commission is holding an emergency meeting to decide on publishing the 46th BCS final recommendations and the 50th BCS preliminary results, PSC sources confirmed. If all steps clear today, the 46th BCS final list could be released before day’s end, and movement is expected on the 50th prelims.

PSC Chairman Prof. Mobasher Monem earlier told The Daily Campus that the 50th BCS preliminary results should be out “very soon,” likely by 10 February. Today’s meeting will take a policy decision on releasing those results; if approved, the PSC website is ready to upload them immediately.

For the 50th BCS, 290,951 applications were submitted, fewer than in recent years. A total of 2,150 people will be recruited across cadre and non-cadre posts. Of 1,755 cadre posts, 650 are for the health cadre, 200 for administration, and 117 for police. Among 395 non-cadre posts, 71 are in the ninth grade.

For the 46th BCS, recommendations are being readied against 3,140 vacancies. After prelims and written tests, 4,042 candidates faced viva voce. If approved today, successful candidates will be provisionally recommended from this pool. Planned appointments include 1,682 assistant surgeons and 16 assistant dental surgeons in the health cadre, 920 in education, 274 in administration, 80 in police, 10 in foreign affairs, and other professional cadre posts according to vacancies.
