The Public Service Commission (PSC) has suspended the nominations of 21 candidates who successfully cleared the 48th special BCS, which was held to appoint over 3,000 doctors.
The nominations of 19 candidates provisionally nominated for appointment to the assistant surgeon position and two candidates for the assistant dental surgeon post have been scrapped for “not having” the certificate from the Bangladesh Medical and Dental Council (BMDC).
In addition, the nominations of two assistant surgeon candidates were cancelled for failing to provide MBBS certificates, according to a press release issued by the commission on Monday.
PSC spokesman SM Matiur Rahman also confirmed the matter to bdnews24.com.
The commission added that the decision on the candidates whose nominations have been suspended will be announced soon.
The PSC released the final results of the 48th special BCS on Sept 11, declaring 3,120 candidates successful.
Among the successful candidates, 2,820 received provisional nominations for the Assistant Surgeon post and 300 for the assistant dental surgeon position.
The notification for this special BCS was announced on May 29. A total of 41,025 candidates applied for the exam.
The written test was held on Jul 20, with 4,695 candidates temporarily passing for assistant surgeon and 511 for assistant dental surgeon positions. The viva voce (oral) exams began on Aug 6.
