Is this enough to get 50+ in internals
Honestly, yes - if you prepare these well, scoring 50+ in internals is very realistic. Here's why:
Why This Strategy Works for Internals
Internals typically follow the same pattern as university papers. The questions in your PDF are from RGUHS university exams (2017-2025), and internal examiners at RGUHS-affiliated colleges draw from the same question bank. The repetition you're seeing in university papers reflects what faculty consider core examinable content - and internals test exactly that.
What You Need to Do With These Topics
For 50/100 (passing), prepare:
- The top 5 Long Essay topics (Epidemic investigation, Case Control, Health Education, Cohort Study, Pneumoconiosis) - these alone can fetch 40-50 marks if 2 come in the paper
- 4-5 Short Essays from the high-frequency list (BMW, Screening test, Surveillance, HDI, ESI Act)
- 5-6 Short Answers (Ergonomics, Composting, Sentinel Surveillance, DALY, Types of epidemics)
For 60-70+ (comfortable pass), additionally prepare:
- All 8 Long Essay topics thoroughly
- All Short Essays in the PDF
- Remaining Short Answers
Honest Cautions
-
Internals can differ by college - some departments add current affairs questions or topics from recent classes/seminars. Ask a senior from your college what their internal pattern looks like.
-
These are university past papers (QP 1035/1088) - your internal paper may be shorter (e.g., 1 long essay, 4-5 short essays, 5-10 short answers out of 50 marks instead of 100). The topics remain the same but the marks distribution may differ.
-
Preparing these topics doesn't mean just recognising them - you need to write structured answers. For long essays: use a 3-part structure (intro/definition, main body with subheadings, conclusion/preventive measures). For short essays: 5-6 points minimum.
-
Diagrams fetch extra marks - epidemic curve, 2x2 table (screening), water purification flowchart, demographic transition graph. Practice drawing these quickly.
Bottom Line
Studying all the topics in the PDF = 70-80% of what's likely to appear in your internal. If you write decent structured answers for even half of what comes, 50+ is comfortably achievable. Don't just read - practice writing at least 2-3 long essays before the exam.
