Jahangirnagar University Professor Appointed to Public Service Commission

Professor Shamima Sultana, a faculty member at Jahangirnagar University, has been named as a new member of the Public Service Commission (PSC), according to official notifications released this week.

The appointment underscores the PSC's commitment to incorporating experienced academics and administrators from leading educational institutions into its decision-making structure. Professor Sultana brings considerable expertise from her tenure at one of the country's premier universities.
