Current Affairs is the hardest section to keep honest, because facts go stale. This bank has just over 300 published questions and is deliberately smaller than the others for that reason. It concentrates on the material that recruitment papers actually ask and that stays stable for a year or more: the structure and heads of international organisations, Pakistan's federal ministries and provincial leadership, the United Nations and its agencies, and the names of the world's intelligence agencies.
A significant share of these questions were transcribed from FIA Inspector and Assistant Director papers, and they are tagged with the year of the paper so you can see when a fact was current. When a question asks who held a post, treat the answer as correct for that paper's year rather than today. The section rewards a candidate who reads a daily newspaper more than one who memorises lists, but working through it will show you the kinds of questions examiners set and the level of detail they expect.

They are correct for the year of the paper they came from, which is shown on each question. Facts that change often, such as who holds a ministry, are tagged by year rather than rewritten. Facts that do not change, such as where an organisation is headquartered, are kept current.
From the papers in this bank: heads of international bodies, recent appointments in the federal government, Pakistan's relations with neighbouring states, major international agreements, and the names and countries of intelligence agencies. Sports results and awards appear occasionally but are a small share.
Use it to learn the question style and the categories examiners favour, then keep your own list of current holders of key posts from a newspaper or official website. The bank is a guide to what is asked; a recent news source is the only reliable guide to the current answer.
