Physical & Endurance Tests
Are you applying for a uniformed post? Applicants for Sub-Inspector, Assistant Sub-Inspector, Constable, and Constable Driver must pass physical and endurance tests. First, officials will record physical measurements. Men require a minimum height of 5 feet 6 inches and a chest measurement of 33 x 34.5 inches. Women require a minimum height of 5 feet 4 inches.
Next, eligible candidates will undertake an endurance test. This involves a one-mile (1.6 km) run. Male candidates must finish the run within 7 minutes. Conversely, female candidates have a qualifying time of 10 minutes. Only the applicants who pass both the physical and endurance tests will advance to the Computer-Based Written Examination.
How to Apply Online for FIA Jobs
The FIA will only accept online applications. Therefore, you must not send any documents via courier or by hand. You must visit the official recruitment portal at www.npftas.pk to apply.
Each application carries a processing fee of Rs. 2,000. You must pay this non-refundable fee through the 1Link-1Bill service via any bank, ATM, or mobile wallet (EasyPaisa, JazzCash, UPaisa) using the 24-digit PSID generated by the portal. If you wish to apply for multiple posts, you must submit a separate application and fee for each role.
Shortlisted candidates will face written tests, skill tests, and interviews. Finally, an authorized Federal Government Civil Surgeon will conduct a comprehensive medical examination before final selection. Selected candidates for Assistant, UDC, and LDC roles must also qualify a mandatory NITB IT training course before completing their probation.
