The Federal Investigation Agency recruits across a wide range of grades, from Constable and clerical staff to Inspector and Assistant Director, and each grade has its own written test. This hub brings together more than 3,200 published questions transcribed from FIA past papers spanning 2002 to 2022, organised by post and then by paper. Inspector, Assistant Director and Sub Inspector are the most heavily represented posts; UDC, LDC, Assistant, ASI and the Assistant Director Investigation and Legal posts have fewer papers but are all live.
Across posts, the recurring subjects are Pakistan Studies, Islamic Studies, English, General Knowledge, Mathematics and Everyday Science, with computing questions weighted towards the clerical and Cyber Crime Wing tests. The recruitment tests have been conducted by different testing agencies in different years, and where the paper metadata records that, it appears in the paper name. Start with the post you are applying for and attempt its most recent paper first; the older papers show how the pattern has shifted over time.

Active and Passive Voice
The tiger caught a fox. Choose the correct passive voice form of the sentence.
Correct answer: B
The original sentence "The tiger caught a fox" is in the simple past tense active voice. The correct passive voice transformation for a simple past tense sentence is formed by using "was" or "were" plus the past participle of the verb. Therefore, the correct passive voice form is "A fox was caught by the tiger." Option B correctly reflects this. Option A uses past perfect passive "had been caught," which is not the direct transformation of the simple past active sentence. Options C and D use present tense forms, which are incorrect for this transformation.
