ExploreAbout this exam
The Bangladesh Judicial Service Examination (বিজেএস পরীক্ষা) is the selection process through which the Bangladesh Judicial Service Commission (BJSC) recommends suitable candidates for appointment to the entry post of the judicial service, the Civil Judge (সিভিল জজ). The Commission is constituted under the Bangladesh Judicial Service Commission Rules, 2007, made by the President in exercise of the power under Article 115 of the Constitution. Its mandate is to recommend candidates, tender advice to the President as required, and perform other duties fixed by law or rules; it also conducts departmental examinations after appointment and acts as the selecting authority for direct recruitment of supporting staff in the subordinate courts and tribunals across the country. The Commission's site lists two exam streams, the BJS Examination and the Departmental Examination, each with its own syllabus, e-application route, results and FAQ. Preparation should begin from the published syllabus for the stream you are sitting, then move to the e-application instructions and past result notices so you understand each stage. Use the official query channel for procedural doubts: the BJS Exam Query Call line, staffed by an Assistant Director (Senior Assistant Judge), and the secretariat at 15, College Road, Dhaka-1000.
What you'll study
About BJSC Written preparation
What is the BJS Examination actually for?
It is the Commission's process for assessing the merit and suitability of candidates so that it can recommend names for appointment to the entry post of the Bangladesh Judicial Service, the Civil Judge. The Commission describes this recommendation function, and advisory duty to the President, as its core responsibility.
Which exam stages does the Commission list?
The official website groups examinations into the BJS Examination (বিজেএস পরীক্ষা) and the Departmental Examination (বিভাগীয় পরীক্ষা), each with its own syllabus, e-application, results and FAQ pages. Separate recruitment examinations exist for supporting staff of subordinate courts and tribunals and for secretariat posts.
Where do I find the syllabus and application route?
Both are published on the Commission's website under the examinations section: each stream has a syllabus page, an e-application page and a results page. Start with the syllabus for the stream you intend to sit, since the two streams are documented separately rather than in one combined notice.
How hard is it, and what trips candidates up?
The Commission publishes no difficulty rating or cut-off, so treat any claimed pass mark as unofficial. The most common practical failures are procedural: applying through the wrong stream's e-application route, missing a notice because results and schedules appear as separate site notices, and preparing without reading the published syllabus first.
Can I retake the examination if I am unsuccessful?
The source does not state a retake policy or any limit on attempts, so this cannot be confirmed from official material. Check the current notice for the cycle you are applying to, or ask the Commission directly through its published query channel before assuming you may reappear.
How should I order my study?
Work in the Commission's own sequence: read the syllabus for your stream, complete the e-application exactly as instructed, then track results and schedule notices on the site. Beyond that, the site gives no prescribed reading list, so build a plan around the syllabus topics rather than around rumoured question patterns.
Who do I contact with a procedural question?
The site lists a BJS Exam Query Call on +88-02-41053301, attributed to the Assistant Director (Senior Assistant Judge), an email address at [email protected], and the secretariat address at 15, College Road, Dhaka-1000. Use these rather than unofficial forums for deadlines and eligibility doubts.
Does this page represent the Commission?
No. This is independent study material and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Bangladesh Judicial Service Commission. Always verify dates, fees, eligibility and results against the official website before acting on anything you read here.
