Bangladesh has decided to extend the age limit for government jobs by 21 months due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a notice from the Ministry of Public Administration.
The letter, sent on Thursday, stated that all government agencies that were unable to issue recruitment notices due to the COVID-19 pandemic will accept applications from job seekers who were below the age limit on Mar 25, 2020 until the end of this year.
That does not, however, apply to jobs under the BCS, reports bdnews24.com.
As such, people seeking jobs in the public sector have, effectively, had the age limit raised for 21 months until the end of the year.
