Frequently Asked Questions

What is the passing criteria for the FIA written test?

While 50% is often the technical passing mark, the FIA uses a 1:5 ratio, calling only the top 5 candidates per seat for an interview. Aim for 50+ marks out of 60 to remain competitive.

Is there a separate physical test for LDC/UDC posts?

No, non-uniform (clerical) posts do not require a running test. The focus for these roles is on medical fitness (eyesight) and computer skills.

How can I apply for multiple posts?

You may apply for more than one position if you meet the eligibility criteria, but you must submit a separate application and fee for each post.
