FIA Assistant Director Past Papers

Post Past Papers556 questionsPage 12/56

Assistant Director is an officer-grade post, and the FIA has recruited for it through written tests over a longer span than for any other grade in this bank. This page holds 556 published questions from seven papers: 2002, 2004, 2011, 2012, two batches from 2019 and a shorter 2020 paper. The older papers are close to a hundred questions each; the 2019 and 2020 papers are partial transcriptions and will be extended as the missing questions are recovered and reviewed.

Pakistan Studies is the dominant subject, with well over a hundred questions across the papers, followed by English, Islamic Studies, Mathematics and General Knowledge. Current Affairs and History have a stronger presence here than in lower-grade tests, and the 2019 papers introduced a few questions on the FIA Act itself. Reading the 2002 and 2004 papers side by side with 2019 is instructive: the subjects are the same, but the later papers ask more analytical English and fewer straight recall questions.
