The public administration ministry would publish a gazette on the annulment of the quota system after further directives from the prime minister, senior secretary to the ministry Mojammel Haque Khan said on Thursday.

"The gazette will be published in due time," he told journalists at his office.

Asked whether the quota system would cease to exist in all kinds of job examinations, he said it can be confirmed only after receiving a specific directive.

“Those matters would be clarified in the gazette,” he added.

On Wednesday, the PM in parliament said that there would be no quota in the public services, amid countrywide protests from the students who demanded recruitment on the basis of merit.
