1Most-asked Community 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 Community Medicine; the trend is computed on all recalled questions in the subject.
The top three chapters account for about 67.2% of recalled INI-CET Community Medicine questions, so revising them well covers most of what has been asked. Epidemiology of Communicable Diseases and Biomedical Waste Management have a shrinking share, but still appear, so do not drop them.
