Overview
State-owned banks and financial institutions in Bangladesh recruit through combined circulars run by the Bankers' Selection Committee Secretariat (BSCS) of Bangladesh Bank. Vacancies for the same post across several banks are put into one circular. A candidate applies once, sits one exam, and can be appointed to more than one bank.
These details come from a news-portal guide to the 2026 circular, because the official portal could not be read. Confirm them with the official circular.
