Assistant Director Investigation is an officer-grade post advertised separately from the general Assistant Director cadre, and its written test was held on 24 July 2022 in two batches. This page holds 180 published questions from those two papers. The distinguishing feature of this test is that a substantial share of it is about the agency itself: 27 questions on the FIA Act and another eleven on Pakistan and FIA knowledge, covering the agency's history, structure, wings and legal powers.
The remainder is General Knowledge (the largest subject, at 60 questions), English Language at the graduate level, Mathematics and a General Science block. There is no separate Islamic Studies or Pakistan Studies section in these papers, which sets them apart from every other FIA post here. Four model papers from the 2019 cycle are in preparation and will be added once reviewed. If you are applying for this post, the FIA Act questions are the highest-value practice on the site, because they are tested nowhere else at this density.

FIA Act applicability
Which of the following is incorrect regarding the applicability of the FIA Act?
Correct answer: B
The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) Act applies to public servants and employees involved in federal investigations, but it also applies to all citizens of Pakistan wherever they may be, as well as any other person present in Pakistan. Therefore, the statement that the FIA Act is applicable to all citizens of Pakistan (option B) is actually correct. However, the FIA Act is not applicable to all employees in general, only those related to federal government or public sector entities. The statement that the FIA Act is applicable to all employees (option C) is ambiguous and generally incorrect. The statement that the FIA Act is applicable to public servants (option A) is correct. Since the question asks which statement is incorrect, option C is the incorrect statement, not B. The original question incorrectly marked B as incorrect. The correct answer should be C. The explanation is updated accordingly.
