About the BSCS Officer General Exam Exam

The BSCS Combined Bank Officer (General) preliminary MCQ is the screening test for Officer (General) posts in participating state-owned banks and financial institutions under Bangladesh Bank's Bankers' Selection Committee Secretariat. Candidates typically face Bangla–English–Math–GK–Computer prelim MCQs, a descriptive written stage, and a viva. This free bank focuses on the prelim MCQ pattern used across recent combined Officer General circulars.

Exam sponsor: Bankers' Selection Committee Secretariat (BSCS), Bangladesh Bank. The requirements and fees below concern the certification or admission exam, separate from our free practice resources.

BSCS Officer General Exam: Suggested Study Strategy

1Weight study time to Bangla and English first (half the prelim marks), then keep daily math drills with timed sets that penalize wrong guesses to simulate −0.25 marking.

2For GK, master Bangladesh Bank institutional facts from bb.org.bd plus the names and roles of participating state-owned banks in your circular, Liberation War chronology, and national days.

3Use this 100-question bank as a prelim screener: review every wrong computer and vocabulary item the same day, and practice number-series / analytical-style math items inside the quantitative block.
