Clarifying the reason for the delay, BPSC Chairman Dr Muhammed Sadique told the daily that for the first time ever a first, second and third examiner examined the written copies that is actually why the publication of the result got delayed.

“Apart from these, we have also recommended recruitment of 5,000 doctors under the 39th special BCS. The BPSC also worked for other recruitments,” he said.

The viva-voce is likely to begin from July 29. The formal announcement regarding the viva-voce will come later.
