Radiology produced 69 of the 3,251 recalled INI-CET and AIIMS PG questions in the Kinase bank (2018–2026), placing it 18th 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 Radiology chapters: Systemic Radiology, Fundamentals of Radiology, Radiotherapy and Nuclear Medicine
- ✓About 2.1% of recalled INI-CET questions; AIIMS publishes no official subject weightage
- ✓Chapters taking a growing share recently: Systemic Radiology
- ✓The concept checklist below is editorial, written against the top chapters, not counted from the bank
1Most-asked Radiology 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 Radiology; the trend is computed on all recalled questions in the subject.
The top three chapters account for about 100.0% of recalled INI-CET Radiology questions, so revising them well covers most of what has been asked. Systemic Radiology has taken a growing share of questions in recent years. Fundamentals of Radiology 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) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Systemic Radiology | 52 | 17 of 18 papers | Rising |
| Fundamentals of Radiology | 14 | 9 of 18 papers | Falling |
| Radiotherapy and Nuclear Medicine | 3 | 6 of 18 papers | — |
Watch out: Radiology has only a few broad chapters in the bank, so a high count covers many separate concepts.
2Radiology questions by INI-CET year
| Year | Recalled INI-CET questions |
|---|---|
| 2018 | 11 |
| 2019 | 4 |
| 2020 | 6 |
| 2021 | 11 |
| 2022 | 11 |
| 2023 | 8 |
| 2024 | 6 |

Years with fewer recalled questions usually reflect thinner recall coverage, not fewer questions in the paper.

4How to revise Radiology for INI-CET
Radiology in INI-CET is mostly image-based systemic radiology. Practise recognising classic signs on X-ray, CT and MRI, and know the investigation of choice for common conditions.
Kinase Tip: See every Radiology chapter with year-by-year counts on the Radiology most-repeated topics page, then practise them on the INI-CET PYQ pages.
?Frequently Asked Questions
What are the most important Radiology topics for INI-CET?
In Kinase's recall bank of INI-CET / AIIMS PG questions (2018–2026), the Radiology chapters with the most questions are Systemic Radiology, Fundamentals of Radiology, Radiotherapy and Nuclear Medicine. AIIMS does not publish an official topic list, so treat this as a revision order, not the full syllabus.
How many Radiology questions come in INI-CET?
AIIMS does not publish subject-wise weightage. In the recall bank, Radiology accounts for 69 of 3,251 recalled INI-CET questions (about 2.1%), ranking 18th of 19 subjects. Recall coverage varies by year, so read this as a rough share.
How should I revise Radiology in the last month before INI-CET?
Radiology in INI-CET is mostly image-based systemic radiology. Practise recognising classic signs on X-ray, CT and MRI, and know the investigation of choice for common conditions. Solve the chapter's PYQs straight after revising it, and keep the final week for your error log, not new chapters.
