The federal government has allowed those that turned 30 on Mar 25 this season, during the coronavirus shutdown, to use for public sector jobs.

According to a bdnews24.com report, the general public administration ministry has asked all the ministries and divisions to specify the maximum age limit for folks who applied by Mar 25 if they send out job circulars, barring the Bangladesh Civil Service (BCS).

The directorates, departments and agencies under the ministries and divisions, and autonomous bodies that cannot post job advertisements as a result of pandemic will publish the adverts now with Mar 25 as the date to count the applicants' age, an order said on Thursday.

The general public Service Commission (PSC) has not issued recruitment notice through the 66-day general holiday since Mar 26 designed to stem the spread of COVID-19. It last advertised jobs in December last year.

However the PSC has issued several non-cadre recruitment notices after the lockdown was lifted on, may 30. In all those job postings, the utmost age limit was set as 30.
