International Relations Past Papers

International Relations past papers work differently from the compulsory sets on this site. IR is a 200-mark optional subject, and FPSC splits it into Paper I and Paper II of 100 marks each. This cluster holds 19 papers from 2016 to 2025: nine Paper I sheets and ten Paper II sheets. Paper I tests theory and concepts. Paper II tests current issues and Pakistan’s foreign policy. The two-paper split starts with the CE-2016 scheme. Before 2016, FPSC set one single IR paper, and no clean copies of those years survive online. One gap sits inside the run: Paper I 2024 exists only as typed web pages, so this cluster carries no Paper I page for 2024. Every paper here follows one pattern. Part-I holds 20 MCQs. Part-II holds 80 descriptive marks, and candidates attempt four questions from Q.2 to Q.8. Each year page prints that year’s full Part-II question list and links the original sheet as a PDF. Read Paper I and Paper II side by side for one year, and you see how FPSC pairs a theory test with an issues test.

Paper I 2024 is not in this grid: no clean copy of that paper survives online, so it has no page in this cluster. Paper II 2024 sits in the Paper II grid below.
