KNRUHS Pathology PYQs 2021 to January 2026: Priority Order

I grouped similar questions together even when asked in different formats, for example LAQ, short note, or brief note. Frequency means the topic appeared repeatedly in the uploaded papers, not necessarily with the same exact wording.
Study order: Finish all Priority 1 LAQs first, then Priority 1 SAQs. These are the safest high-yield areas.

A. LAQs: Priority-wise order

PriorityLAQ topic / answer frameworkRepeated in LAQAsked in
1Bone tumours with Osteosarcoma: classification of bone tumours, gross, microscopy, osteoid, radiology22025 P-II, 2024 P-II
1Alcoholic cirrhosis: classification, pathogenesis, morphology, complications22026 P-II, 2023 P-II
1Haemolytic anaemia: classification and laboratory diagnosis; hereditary spherocytosis as a long case22025 P-I, 2024 P-I
2Emphysema: classification, etiopathogenesis, types, gross and microscopy1 LAQ, repeatedly asked as SAQ/VSAQ2022 P-II; also 2025 P-II, 2023 P-II, 2026 P-II
2Megaloblastic anaemia: classification of anaemia, etiopathogenesis and lab findings1 LAQ, repeated as short note2023 P-I, 2022 P-I
2Tuberculous granuloma / granulomatous inflammation: definition, etiopathogenesis, morphology and fate1 LAQ, related questions recur2022 P-I; 2026 P-I VSAQ
2Neoplasia: definition, benign versus malignant tumours, routes of metastasis1 LAQ, related topics recur2024 P-I; 2021 P-I
2Nephrotic syndrome: definition, causes and pathophysiology1 LAQ2022 P-II
2Acute post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis: diagnosis, etiopathogenesis, morphology, investigations1 LAQ2026 P-II
3Amyloidosis: definition, secondary amyloidosis, organ morphology and stains1 LAQ, staining is highly repeated2025 P-I
3Osteosarcoma-related tumour question: bone classification and morphologyCovered under Priority 12025 P-II, 2024 P-II
3Pneumoconiosis with asbestosis: classification, pathology and complications1 LAQ2024 P-II
3Necrosis: definition, types and examples1 LAQ, appears in brief note too2026 P-I, 2021 P-I
3CNS tumours with meningioma: classification and detailed meningioma1 LAQ2023 P-II
3CML: definition/classification of leukaemia and lab diagnosis of CML1 LAQ2022 P-I
3Pulmonary oedema: classify oedema, pathophysiology and pathogenesis of pulmonary oedema1 LAQ2023 P-I
3Gastric ulcer / peptic ulcer: pathogenesis, morphology and complications1 LAQ; related peptic ulcer repeats2025 P-II, 2023 P-II, 2022 P-II
3Beta-thalassaemia major: clinical diagnosis, pathogenesis and laboratory diagnosis1 LAQ2026 P-I

Best LAQ preparation sequence

  1. Bone tumours and osteosarcoma
  2. Alcoholic cirrhosis
  3. Haemolytic anaemia and hereditary spherocytosis
  4. Emphysema
  5. Megaloblastic anaemia
  6. Granuloma and tuberculosis

Pattern observation: General pathology and haematology questions repeatedly emphasize amyloid, Down syndrome, thrombosis, phagocytosis, carcinogenesis, ITP, wound healing, anaemia, and shock. Systemic pathology repeatedly emphasizes bone tumours, cirrhosis, emphysema, osteoclastoma, thyroid disease, renal pathology, and GI pathology.

Not every repeated question has a microscopic diagram, for example shock, thrombosis, Down syndrome, and chemical carcinogenesis. For the histology-based topics, I can create labelled exam-style microscopic diagrams and compile them paper-wise into a PDF.
Choose one scope:
  1. All eligible repeated topics - a large Paper I and Paper II diagram PDF
  2. Priority P1 topics only - most frequently repeated diagrams first
  3. Paper I only
  4. Paper II only

Created a paper-wise PDF of labelled, exam-style high-yield histology diagrams.
It includes:
  • Paper I: Amyloidosis, tuberculous granuloma, megaloblastic bone marrow
  • Paper II: Osteosarcoma, osteoclastoma, alcoholic cirrhosis, emphysema, APSGN, diabetic nephropathy, peptic ulcer, asbestosis, meningioma, schwannoma, Hashimoto thyroiditis, Barrett oesophagus, and basal cell carcinoma
Each diagram highlights the hallmark microscopic features that should be labelled in university answers.

KNRUHS High Yield Labelled Histology Diagrams Paperwise

prepare a hand made histology diagram of that

Reading File
Do you want the entire high-yield set recreated in a hand-drawn notebook style, or one specific histology topic?
If one topic, name it, for example: amyloidosis, tuberculous granuloma, osteosarcoma, cirrhosis, schwannoma, or Hashimoto thyroiditis.
