Anatomy produced 190 of the 3,251 recalled INI-CET and AIIMS PG questions in the Kinase bank (2018–2026), placing it 9th of 19 subjects. Here are the chapters those questions came from, and a short checklist of concepts to revise before Sunday 1 November 2026.
Key Takeaways
- ✓Most-asked Anatomy chapters: Head and Neck, Neuroanatomy, Abdomen and Pelvis
- ✓About 5.8% of recalled INI-CET questions; AIIMS publishes no official subject weightage
- ✓Chapters taking a growing share recently: Abdomen and Pelvis, Lower Limb
- ✓The concept checklist below is editorial, written against the top chapters, not counted from the bank
1Most-asked Anatomy chapters in INI-CET
Ranked by recalled INI-CET / AIIMS PG questions. “Papers asked” counts NEET-PG and INI-CET exam-years with at least one question on the chapter, out of the years with any question in Anatomy; the trend is computed on all recalled questions in the subject.
The top three chapters account for about 50.5% of recalled INI-CET Anatomy questions, so revising them well covers most of what has been asked. Abdomen and Pelvis and Lower Limb have taken a growing share of questions in recent years. Neuroanatomy and Upper Limb have a shrinking share, but still appear, so do not drop them.
| Chapter | INI-CET questions | Papers asked (NEET-PG + INI-CET) | Trend (all recalls) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Head and Neck | 38 | 17 of 18 papers | Steady |
| Neuroanatomy | 36 | 16 of 18 papers | Falling |
| Abdomen and Pelvis | 22 | 14 of 18 papers | Rising |
| Upper Limb | 21 | 14 of 18 papers | Falling |
| Histology | 19 | 14 of 18 papers | Steady |
| Thorax | 17 | 15 of 18 papers | Steady |

4How to revise Anatomy for INI-CET
Anatomy questions are largely applied. Revise nerve lesions, blood supply and embryological derivatives, and use diagrams and images rather than text-only notes.
Kinase Tip: See every Anatomy chapter with year-by-year counts on the Anatomy most-repeated topics page, then practise them on the INI-CET PYQ pages.
?Frequently Asked Questions
What are the most important Anatomy topics for INI-CET?
In Kinase's recall bank of INI-CET / AIIMS PG questions (2018–2026), the Anatomy chapters with the most questions are Head and Neck, Neuroanatomy, Abdomen and Pelvis. AIIMS does not publish an official topic list, so treat this as a revision order, not the full syllabus.
How many Anatomy questions come in INI-CET?
AIIMS does not publish subject-wise weightage. In the recall bank, Anatomy accounts for 190 of 3,251 recalled INI-CET questions (about 5.8%), ranking 9th of 19 subjects. Recall coverage varies by year, so read this as a rough share.
How should I revise Anatomy in the last month before INI-CET?
Anatomy questions are largely applied. Revise nerve lesions, blood supply and embryological derivatives, and use diagrams and images rather than text-only notes. Solve the chapter's PYQs straight after revising it, and keep the final week for your error log, not new chapters.
