Assistant Director Legal and Investigation is an officer-grade post that the FIA advertised in 2019 alongside the general Assistant Director cadre. This page holds the 99 published questions of its 2019 paper. Despite the word Legal in the title, the paper as transcribed here is a general screening test, not a law paper; questions on statutes or procedure do not appear in it.
Pakistan Studies is the largest subject at 26 questions, followed by a strong Current Affairs block of twenty, which is a higher share than in any other FIA paper here. Everyday Science, Islamic Studies, English, History and Mathematics follow, with a small but notable cluster of six Astronomy questions. Because it is a single complete paper, it is best attempted in one sitting as a mock test. Candidates preparing for this post should then move on to the general Assistant Director papers, particularly the 2019 batches, which were set in the same recruitment cycle.
