Pakistan Affairs Past Papers

Pakistan Affairs is one of the three General Knowledge papers in the CSS written examination, and FPSC prints it as General Knowledge Paper-III (Pakistan Affairs). Every candidate attempts it. The paper carries 100 marks in two parts. Part-I holds 20 MCQs. Part-II holds 80 descriptive marks, and this cluster publishes Part-II. Candidates attempt four questions from Q.2 to Q.8, and each question carries 20 marks. The pattern stays the same in every paper in this set, from 2009 to 2025. Part-II spans the full story of Pakistan. Early questions trace the reform movements of Sheikh Ahmad Sirhindi, Shah Waliullah and Syed Ahmad Barelvi, the Aligarh Movement, and the roles of Sir Syed Ahmad Khan, Allama Iqbal and Quaid-e-Azam. Middle questions cover the Lahore Resolution, the constitutional crises of the 1950s, the Objectives Resolution, and the separation of East Pakistan. Later questions turn to governance: federalism and the 18th Amendment, civil-military relations, and the political system. Foreign policy recurs throughout: the Kashmir dispute, Pak-US relations, the War on Terror, CPEC and the SCO. The economy appears through agriculture, industry, energy, water and population. This page collects all seventeen papers, 2009 to 2025. Each year page maps the seven Part-II questions that year actually set and links the original paper as a PDF.
