An examinee got a call for Viva after 13 years of giving BCS exam. His name is Devdas Biswas. In 2009 he applied for 29th BCS. He also passed the written test.

But in 2010, his oral exam was canceled because he did not bring the receipt of deposit during the oral exam. He wrote a writ in the court in 2011. After a long legal battle of 13 years, he got a call for the Public Service Commission (PSC) oral examination.

If he does not appear in the oral examination board on the scheduled date and time, his oral examination will not be accepted and his candidature will be cancelled.

In this context, PSC Controller of Examinations (Cadre) Anand Kumar Biswas told the media that when the 29th BCS candidate Devdas Biswas took the oral examination, there was a rule to bring the receipt of depositing money to the oral examination board. But Devdas Biswas was disqualified for not bringing the receipt. He filed a writ in court.
