1Most-asked 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 Medicine; the trend is computed on all recalled questions in the subject.
The top three chapters account for about 49.5% of recalled INI-CET Medicine questions, so the rest of the subject still carries a large share. Renal System and Endocrine Disorders have taken a growing share of questions in recent years. Cardiovascular System has a shrinking share, but still appears, so do not drop it.
| Chapter | INI-CET questions | Papers asked (NEET-PG + INI-CET) | Trend (all recalls) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nervous System | 61 | 18 of 18 papers | Steady |
| Cardiovascular System | 57 | 18 of 18 papers | Falling |
| Renal System | 40 | 16 of 18 papers | Rising |
| Endocrine Disorders | 32 | 17 of 18 papers | Rising |

4How to revise Medicine for INI-CET
INI-CET Medicine questions are mostly clinical vignettes. Revise each system as presentation, key investigation and first-line management, and practise ECGs and lab-value interpretation rather than reading lists.
Kinase Tip: See every Medicine chapter with year-by-year counts on the Medicine most-repeated topics page, then practise them on the INI-CET PYQ pages.
