According to the candidates, PSC officials are still saying that the files are under “processing”, the same explanation given before the demonstration.

In the press release, they said the explanation was no longer convincing as there had been no visible progress despite repeated assurances from the commission.

The PSC published the 44th BCS non-cadre recommendations on February 19 this year. But according to the candidates, files of 2,968 recommended candidates are yet to be forwarded to the ministry.
