Government job circulars usually sound like someone copied them straight out of a typewriter manual from 1970. But not today. It’s interesting. The Ministry of Health has dropped a job circular that’s got everyone in Chittagong buzzing.
We’re talking 171 posts, six different positions, steady salaries, and a chance to be part of Bangladesh’s health sector machine. Yep, the same system that quietly keeps the nation going when everything else feels chaotic.
What About the Job?
You know that feeling when you scroll through Facebook and suddenly spot a shiny “Government Job Circular” link? You click, hoping it’s not another scam from 2019, and boom.
The Chittagong Civil Surgeon’s Office, under the Ministry of Health, just announced recruitment for 171 posts across six categories, ranging from statisticians to drivers.
Here’s the official breakdown (because who doesn’t love a good table?):
| Position | Number of Posts | Salary Scale (BDT) | Grade |
| Statistician | 5 | 10,200–24,680 | 11th |
| Office Assistant cum Computer Typist | 15 | 9,300–22,490 | 13th |
| Health Assistant | 134 | 9,300–22,490 | 14th–15th |
| Storekeeper | 4 | 9,300–22,490 | 15th |
| Driver | 3 | 9,300–22,490 | 16th |
| Office Assistant | 10 | 8,250–20,010 | 20th |
So, this isn’t a tiny recruitment. 171 seats is a big deal, especially for those eyeing a stable government job in the healthcare system.
Who Can Apply for the Post?
Now, before you start printing your CV and posing for your passport photo, there’s a catch. his circular is only open to permanent residents of Chittagong district.
As for the age and qualification requirements, they’re standard. But still important to note:
- Age Limit:
- Minimum: 18 years as of 29 October 2025
- Maximum: 32 years (Relaxable for freedom fighters’ families and persons with disabilities)
- Educational Qualifications:
Each post has a different requirement. For instance, statisticians will need higher academic qualifications than office assistants. The full details are listed in the original circular — and trust me, you’ll want to read it carefully.
What About the Salary Range?
Let’s be honest, everyone scrolls to the salary section first.
Here’s a simple visualization of what you can expect:
| Post Type | Starting Pay (BDT) | Max Pay (BDT) |
| Statistician | 10,200 | 24,680 |
| Computer Typist / Health Assistant / Storekeeper / Driver | 9,300 | 22,490 |
| Office Assistant | 8,250 | 20,010 |
Now, is it glamorous money? Maybe not. But in the government world. That’s steady cash, pension benefits, and a respectable ID badge. Plus, the comfort of knowing your salary won’t suddenly disappear with the next tech layoff wave.
Application Date & Fees
Gone are the days when you had to chase a postal clerk just to send your application. The whole thing’s now online — smooth, simple, and yes, occasionally glitchy (thanks, Teletalk).
Here’s the timeline you need to tattoo into your brain (figuratively, of course):
Important Date:
- Application Start: 30 October 2025, 10:00 AM
- Application Deadline: 19 November 2025, 5:00 PM
Application Fees:
- Posts 1–5: Tk 112 (including service charge)
- Post 6: Tk 56
Payment Method: Through Teletalk Prepaid SIM (yep, that’s still a thing).
Don’t wait till the last hour. Every year, someone’s internet crashes at 4:59 PM and they spend the evening crying over missed deadlines. Don’t be that person.
How to Apply Step by Step?
Applying online seems easy until you realize you uploaded your NID photo instead of your face. So, here’s a simplified version of how to do it right:
- Visit the official website mentioned in the circular.
- Fill out the form with correct information.
- Upload your photo (300×300 px) and signature (300×80 px).
- Review — seriously, review — before you hit submit.
- Pay your application fee via Teletalk within 72 hours.
Once done, sit back and wait for that “Admit Card Download” SMS. If you’re eligible, you’ll get it. If not, better luck next time.
About the Exam
The recruitment exam is where things get spicy.
While the circular hasn’t dropped the full syllabus yet, here’s what usually happens:
- Written Exam: Objective questions on Bangla, English, Math, and General Knowledge.
- Practical Exam: For technical posts like typists or drivers.
- Viva/Oral Test: The dreaded interview.
Here’s a quick comparison of what to expect for different posts:
| Post | Exam Type | Kye Skills Tested |
| Statistician | Written + Viva | Analytical thinking, data accuracy |
| Computer Typist | Practical + Viva | Typing speed, MS Office skills |
| Health Assistant | Written + Viva | Basic health knowledge, ethics |
| Driver | Practical + Viva | Driving test, road sense |
| Office Assistant | Written + Viva | Discipline, comprehension |
The admit card will include venue, date, and exam details. So, keep your phone handy.
Final Thoughts
If you’re from Chittagong, meet the age and qualification requirements, and are looking for a stable, meaningful career, apply in this.
The Ministry of Health recruitment isn’t just about securing a desk and a paycheck; it’s about being part of something bigger. You’ll contribute to healthcare services that impact real life. Especially in a country that needs it the most.
