Quick Answer
FMT (Forensic Medicine) carries 5–7% weightage in NEET-PG & INICET — approximately 20–28 questions out of 300. The highest-yield topics are Decomposition and postmortem changes — rigor mortis, livor mortis, putrefaction timelines, Medico-legal autopsy — procedure, consent, exhumation, Injuries — abrasion, contusion, laceration, incised wound, stab wound characteristics, and fmt (forensic medicine) questions are predominantly factual and image-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 FMT (Forensic Medicine) marks distribution.
FMT (Forensic Medicine) questions are predominantly factual and image-based. PM findings, wound characteristics, and toxicology are the most predictable areas. Questions on medicolegal aspects of medical practice (consent, negligence) have increased in recent exams.
For postmortem changes, memorize the exact timelines in a table format (rigor mortis onset at 2–6 hours, complete at 12 hours, passes off at 36–48 hours). For injuries, know the distinguishing features between different wound types as NEET-PG & INICET may show photograph-based questions.
Neglecting toxicology — arsenic, organophosphate, and alcohol poisoning together account for 2–3 questions. Also, medicolegal aspects of practice (IPC sections, consent types) are increasingly tested.
