PPSC Transport Sub Inspector Past Papers – 53 Solved MCQs

PPSC does not release past papers — its own FAQ says so plainly. Everything available online, including this page, is memory-based: recalled by candidates who sat the paper. Wording may differ from the original, but the level and pattern do not, and that is what you are actually training.

The Transport Sub Inspector (BS-14) written test is a single 100-mark general-ability paper of 90 minutes. Because the syllabus is general ability rather than transport engineering, the questions that appear in this paper overlap heavily with other PPSC papers — which makes shared past papers genuinely useful practice.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these official Transport Sub Inspector past papers?

No. PPSC does not publish past papers. These are memory-based questions from the general-ability paper format used across PPSC posts, including Transport Sub Inspector, from 2019 onwards.

Does the Transport Sub Inspector test have technical questions about vehicles?

The advertised syllabus assigns 100 percent to general ability and lists no transport-specific technical content. Prepare GK, Pakistan Studies, English, Maths and computer — not automobile engineering.

How many marks are needed to qualify?

PPSC’s general practice is a qualifying threshold in the written test, commonly reported around 40 percent, with an aggregate requirement after interview. Confirm the current figure from the advertisement for your case.

Is there negative marking?

Reported at −0.25 per wrong answer in PPSC MCQ papers. Where it applies, eliminate two options before guessing.

How long should I prepare?

Six to eight weeks is realistic for a general-ability paper at B.A. level. Attempt one timed paper every third day and keep an error log.
