1Most-asked Forensic Medicine 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 Forensic Medicine; the trend is computed on all recalled questions in the subject.
The top three chapters account for about 74.3% of recalled INI-CET Forensic Medicine questions, so revising them well covers most of what has been asked. Injuries has taken a growing share of questions in recent years. Medical Jurisprudence, Death and Postmortem Changes has a shrinking share, but still appears, so do not drop it.
