The Assistant post is a clerical position, and the FIA tested for it in 2019 and again across three days in December 2021. This page holds 139 published questions from four papers. All four are partial transcriptions, ranging from twenty to nearly sixty questions, and they are being extended as further questions are recovered and reviewed.
What stands out in the Assistant papers is the weight given to Geography, which is the largest subject here at 23 questions, ahead of Pakistan Studies, History and Computer Science. Islamic Studies and English are present but smaller than in the UDC and LDC papers of the same week. A few Mathematics and Current Affairs questions complete the set. The Computer Science questions are of the general-awareness kind (hardware, abbreviations, shortcuts) that clerical posts ask. Candidates who are also applying for UDC or LDC should attempt those posts' papers as well, since the December 2021 tests were plainly drawn from a common pool.
