According to a PSC media statement, the results would be declared based on the previous system.

The PSC this year published the preliminary results based on quota systems prompting thousands of students to hit the streets demanding review of the results and opposing the quota system.

Demonstrators claimed they had failed to clear the test despite obtaining high marks because of the quota system which has allowed many with much less marks to pass.

All matters regarding the results of the 34th BCS preliminary exam was scrutinised and revised in a special meeting of Bangladesh Public Service Commission on Saturday, said the statement signed by Examination Controller AEM Nesar Uddin.

Revised list of candidates considered ‘provisionally eligible’ will be released by PSC, so that they could sit for the 34th BCS written examination.

Earlier on Saturday, students of Dhaka University staged pro and anti-quota processions on the varsity campus.

Resuming the ongoing agitation over job reservations, a group of students held a demonstration in front of the university’s Central Library, demanding revocation of the quota system.

Witnesses said leaders of the DU chapter of the Chhatra League disbanded the protesters when they tried to stage a rally on the campus.

Soon after the first group dispersed, another group took out a procession holding the banner “Amra Muktijoddhar Shontan”.

One of the protesters from the second rally claimed that a vested quarter in the country was trying to destabilise the country by demanding the abolition of the quota system.

Agitated students in Dhaka and elsewhere took to the streets last week after the 34th BCS preliminary results were announced based on quotas. They set up a daylong blockade in Shahbagh area last Wednesday.

In the face of agitation, Public Service Commission (PSC) announced a re-evaluation of the 34th BCS Preliminary results but protesters were apparently not pacified.
