BCS Preliminary Exam — Mark Distribution, Negative Marking and Preparation

বাংলায় পড়ুন

The preliminary is a 200-mark MCQ screening exam, usually 2 hours long. Its marks are not added to the final result — it only screens candidates for the written exam.

What You Need to Know

  • Marks are deducted for wrong answers — reduce guesswork
  • BPSC sets the cut mark separately each time
  • Check your center and seat on the admit card and arrange your travel in advance

The rules, mark distribution and dates of BCS are final as stated in each circular and BPSC notice — always check at bpsc.gov.bd.
