Collect BCS fee through instalments

While applying for the Bangladesh Civil Service (BCS) exam, a candidate has to pay a registration fee of Tk 700, excluding other costs. It is the most expensive registration fee for any public recruitment exam. Bangladesh Public Service Commission (BPSC) runs other recruitment programmes without charging candidates any fee. The fee to sit for BCS is certainly a strain on unemployed candidates.

I'm not requesting BPSC authorities to minimise or withdraw the fee for BCS altogether. In my opinion, the fee should be collected through several instalments based on the three steps of the whole recruitment process.
