Quick Answer

The most repeated Physiology topics in NEET PG and INI-CET (2017–2026) are General Physiology (51 questions), Central Nervous System (43 questions) and Cardiovascular System (39 questions), out of 281 recalled Physiology questions from 18 papers in the Kinase bank. General Physiology appeared in 15 of 18 papers.

Which Physiology topics are asked most?

Topics are ranked by recalled questions across NEET PG and INI-CET. "Asked in" counts the exam-year papers (out of 18 with Physiology questions) in which the topic appeared at least once; "Share" is the topic's part of all 281 Physiology questions.

Trend = change in the topic's share of Physiology 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 ("—").

How many Physiology questions appear each year?

Physiology makes up 5.2% of all recalled questions in the bank. Its share was highest in 2020 (41 of 658 recalled questions that year), and its overall share trend since 2018 is steady (-0.4 pts). Bars differ in height partly because some years' papers were recalled more fully than others.

What kind of Physiology questions are asked?

Our editors tag each question's format (a question can carry several). 41 of the 281 Physiology questions (15%) have an image in the stem. The most common format tags:

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the most repeated Physiology topics in NEET PG and INI-CET?▼
In Kinase's recall bank (2017–2026), the most repeated Physiology topics are General Physiology (51 questions), Central Nervous System (43 questions), Cardiovascular System (39 questions). General Physiology was asked in 15 of 18 papers.
How many Physiology questions come in NEET PG and INI-CET?▼
Kinase has 281 recalled Physiology questions from 18 papers: 89 from NEET PG and 192 from INI-CET / AIIMS PG. That is 5.2% of all recalled questions in the bank. The per-year chart shows how the count varies with the size of each recalled paper.
Which Physiology topics appear in every paper?▼
Central Nervous System has appeared in all 18 papers in which Physiology was recalled. Revise these first.
Which Physiology topics are rising or falling?▼
Rising share since 2018: Central Nervous System, Cardiovascular System. Falling share: General Physiology, Renal Physiology (Kidney), Gastrointestinal Tract. A trend is a change of 5 or more percentage points in the topic's share of Physiology questions.
Are these official Physiology weightage figures?▼
No. NBEMS and AIIMS do not publish topic-wise breakdowns. These counts come from memory-based recalls in the Kinase question bank, reworded by our editors, so they show what candidates remembered — a practical signal of what repeats, not an official statistic.
How should I use this list to revise Physiology?▼
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 Physiology PYQ pages for practice questions with explanations.
