Quick Answer
ENT carries 4–6% weightage in NEET-PG & INICET — approximately 16–24 questions out of 300. The highest-yield topics are Ear — anatomy, tympanic membrane (quadrants), otitis media, cholesteatoma, Hearing loss — conductive vs. sensorineural, tuning fork tests (Weber, Rinne), Nose — DNS, epistaxis management (Little's area), sinusitis, and ent questions are often instrument-identification or clinical presentation-based.
These are the topics that have appeared most frequently in NEET-PG & INICET papers across the last 10 sessions. Cover them first — together they account for roughly 70% of the ENT marks distribution.
ENT questions are often instrument-identification or clinical presentation-based. Tuning fork test interpretation (Weber, Rinne, Schwabach) is tested in almost every NEET-PG & INICET. Image-based questions showing otoscopic/endoscopic findings are increasingly common.
Learn tuning fork tests systematically — for each test, know what 'positive' means, and what result you get in conductive vs. sensorineural hearing loss. For instruments, know the name, type, and what it is used to examine — NEET-PG & INICET shows photographs.
Skipping laryngology — hoarseness, laryngeal carcinoma (glottic vs. supraglottic), and tracheostomy complications are tested more often than expected given ENT's lower overall weightage.

ENT carries approximately 4–6% of the NEET-PG & INICET paper, which translates to 16–24 questions out of 300 total questions.
The highest-yield topics for NEET-PG & INICET ENT are: Ear — anatomy, tympanic membrane (quadrants), otitis media, cholesteatoma; Hearing loss — conductive vs. sensorineural, tuning fork tests (Weber, Rinne); Nose — DNS, epistaxis management (Little's area), sinusitis; Pharynx — tonsillitis, peritonsillar abscess, retropharyngeal abscess; Larynx — hoarseness causes, laryngeal carcinoma, tracheostomy indications.
