Why PSC needs parental information?
Ashish Ahsan Uttara, Dhaka
I was seeing a junior friend's BCS application form and was stunned to see a question. Question No. 4 of BPS Form 2 is titled "parent's information" (yes, the apostrophe is in the wrong place, but that is not the point). PSC wants to know the parents' education level, yearly income, residence (urban or rural area), employment status (govt. service, private service, self employed), and occupation. Under occupation they gave options: agriculture, business, teacher, lawyer, doctor, engineer, others. Applicant will have to fill up related circle.I would like to know what these information got to do with getting a government job? Is it that a doctor's son will get preference over a farmer's? An urban parent's daughter will have better chance than a rural parent's? Will parents' income level affect opportunity? Would PSC explain why they need this information about candidate's parents?
