Around 60% of federal government officers failed to qualify in the written test for Trade and Investment Officer (TIO) positions at Pakistani missions abroad. Out of 178 candidates, 106 did not meet the 60% mark, leaving 72 successful candidates. The majority of those who passed were from the Inland Revenue Service (IRS), followed by the Commerce & Trade Group and other services.
The written test accounts for 60% of the evaluation, with interviews making up the remaining 40%. There are 28 TIO positions available, but five posts are exempt from the written test and will be filled by the Special Selection Board (SSB).

The recruitment policy reserves quotas for officers based on grades and also allocates 10% of posts for Pakistani nationals from the diaspora or private sector. If no suitable candidates are found, positions will be offered to qualified public-sector candidates.
Successful candidates will be posted to 23 missions worldwide, representing Pakistan’s trade and investment interests.
