BPSC is a constitutional body under Articles 137-141 of the Bangladesh Constitution. Its most important characteristic is constitutional (not statutory) grounding. Established by President's Order No. 34 of 1972; merged into a single commission effective 22 December 1977. Chairman Prof. Dr. Mobasser Monem (Dhaka University, Governance and Public Management) was appointed 9 October 2024 and took oath 15 October 2024 under Article 138(1); his term is five years or until age 65, whichever is earlier. The reconstituted commission (October 2024) cleared the inherited BCS examination backlog within its first 13 months, completing two special BCS examinations in roughly three months each. 45th BCS: circular issued 30 November 2022, final result published 26 November 2025, 1,807 recommended for cadre posts against 2,309 advertised vacancies. 46th BCS: final result published 8 February 2026, 1,457 recommended against 3,140 advertised posts. 47th BCS: viva Phase 1 running 11 May - 10 June 2026 (2,570 general cadre candidates). The 'One BCS, One Year' Master Calendar reform targets completion of each full BCS cycle within 12 months; UNDP Bangladesh and Switzerland provided technical support. No formal gazette renaming of the BCS (Administration) cadre was located in primary sources as of 17 May 2026; the cadre's informal designation 'Bangladesh Administrative Service' (BAS) predates the current commission.
