The government has allowed those who turned 30 on Mar 25 this year, during the coronavirus shutdown, to apply for public sector jobs.
According to a bdnews24.com report, the public administration ministry has asked all other ministries and divisions to specify the maximum age limit for people who applied by Mar 25 when they send out job circulars, barring the Bangladesh Civil Service (BCS).
The directorates, departments and agencies under the ministries and divisions, and autonomous bodies that could not post job advertisements due to the pandemic will publish the adverts now with Mar 25 as the date to count the applicants' age, an order said on Thursday.
The Public Service Commission (PSC) has not issued recruitment notice during the 66-day general holiday since Mar 26 designed to stem the spread of COVID-19. It last advertised jobs in December last year.
But the PSC has issued several non-cadre recruitment notices after the lockdown was lifted on May 30. In all those job postings, the maximum age limit was set as 30.
