Proposal on raising age-limit to 35 years to enter govt jobs

The Cabinet Division has sent a proposal on raising the age limit for entering government jobs to 35 years and the retirement age to 65 years to the Ministry of Public Administration.

The Cabinet Division on Wednesday issued a letter in this regard signed by Joint Secretary Md Sajjadul Hasan.
The letter said that since the proposed changes to the government job entry age and retirement age fall under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Public Administration, the ministry has been requested to take necessary actions.

A copy of the proposal sent by the Bangladesh Administrative Services Association was attached with the letter.

Job seekers have been demanding an increase in the entry age limit to 35 years over the last several years. In sequel to it, the Cabinet Division has proposed to raise the age limit for entering government jobs to 35 years.
