Trend = change in the topic's share of Pediatrics questions from 2018 to 2026 on a fitted line; ±5 percentage points or more is rising/falling. Topics with fewer than 10 questions get no label ("—"). 1 Pediatrics question is not yet filed under a topic and is left out of the table.

How many Pediatrics questions appear each year?

Pediatrics makes up 4.7% of all recalled questions in the bank. Its share was highest in 2024 (37 of 595 recalled questions that year), and its overall share trend since 2018 is steady (+1.7 pts). Bars differ in height partly because some years' papers were recalled more fully than others.

How to read these numbers: previous-year papers are not released in full, so they are rebuilt from candidates' memory-based recalls and every question is reworded. The counts reflect Kinase's recall bank (snapshot 2026-09-30), not an official NBEMS or AIIMS subject or topic breakdown. A recalled paper can be incomplete, so compare shares rather than raw counts between years.

Methodology: Each question is counted once per exam-year, even when the same paper is mapped to several courses or tests. Where editors tagged recall provenance in a paper, untagged extra practice items are left out. See the all-subjects page for the full method, the list of papers and the cross-subject top 25.

How should I use this list to revise Pediatrics?▼
Revise the topics at the top of the table first and practise their previous-year questions, then cover the rest of the subject — lower-ranked topics still appear. Use the NEET PG and INI-CET Pediatrics PYQ pages for practice questions with explanations.
