The commission has decided to re-evaluate the written exam papers of the 45th BCS through a third examiner.

In addition, for the 46th BCS, the PSC has decided to announce new results for the preliminary exam, allowing an equal number of candidates to pass alongside the existing 10,638 successful candidates.
