FIA Assistant Director Investigation Past Papers

Post Past Papers180 questionsPage 1/18

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.

If x% of y is 100 and y% of z is 200, then find the relation between x and z.

Correct answer: A

A
Z=2X
Correct
B
Z=X/2
C
X=2Z
D
None of these
Explanation and memory cue

From the given, (x/100)*y = 100 and (y/100)*z = 200. From the first, y = 10000/x. Substitute into the second: (10000/x)/100 * z = 200, which simplifies to (100*z)/x = 200, so z = 2x. Therefore, the relation is Z = 2X.

FIA Assistant Director Investigation Past Papers: common questions

How is this post different from the general Assistant Director post?

The 2022 Investigation papers drop Islamic Studies and Pakistan Studies in favour of a large block on the FIA Act and the agency's own structure, plus General Knowledge, English Language, Mathematics and Science. The general Assistant Director papers from 2002 to 2020 follow the traditional subject mix.

What do the FIA Act questions cover?

The year and purpose of the Act, the schedule of offences the agency can investigate, the powers of its officers, the role of the Director General, and how the agency relates to provincial police and other federal bodies. The explanations cite the relevant section where one applies.

Are the 2019 model papers included?

Not yet. Four model papers from the 2019 batches are listed in the system but have no published questions, because they are still being transcribed and reviewed. They will appear on this page once a validator has approved them, and the post's question count will rise accordingly.
