What does OTS mean in the 2018 paper names?

The 2018 Sub Inspector tests were conducted in groups by a testing service, and two of the group papers carry the OTS label from the original paper metadata. The other 2018 papers do not record the conducting agency, so the bank does not assert one for them.

Is the Cyber Crime Wing paper relevant to general Sub Inspector candidates?

Not really. The 2020 Cyber Crime Wing paper is almost entirely computing and networking, whereas the general Sub Inspector papers are dominated by Islamic Studies, English and Pakistan Studies. Practise the paper that matches the wing you are applying to, and treat the other as optional background.

Why are the December 2021 papers so short?

They are partial transcriptions. Only the questions that could be recovered and verified were published; the rest are still being sourced. The published questions are complete in themselves, with answers and explanations, and the papers will grow as more questions are reviewed.

FIA Sub Inspector Past Papers

Post Past Papers520 questionsPage 13/52

Sub Inspector is the entry point for many investigative careers in the agency. This page collects 520 published questions from eight papers: four papers from the 2018 recruitment, including two group papers that carry the OTS label, the 2020 Cyber Crime Wing paper, and three short papers held on 13, 15 and 21 December 2021. The 2021 papers are partial transcriptions of twenty to forty questions each.

For the general Sub Inspector papers, Islamic Studies, English and Pakistan Studies are the three largest subjects, each with over a hundred questions across the set, followed by Geography, Everyday Science and General Knowledge. The Cyber Crime Wing paper is a different animal: almost entirely Computer Science and Computer Networks, with questions on hardware, operating systems, topologies and security. Candidates should check which wing they are applying to before choosing a paper to practise, since the two syllabi barely overlap.
