percentage of PYQ repeated in NEET PG exam statistics
Here's a clear breakdown based on current analysis:
How Many PYQs Repeat in NEET PG?
The short answer: approximately 25-30% of NEET PG questions are "connected" to PYQs, but this figure needs unpacking because it covers four different types of overlap - not direct verbatim repeats.
The 4 Types of PYQ Repetition
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Same concept, different stem | The core tested concept is identical, but the clinical scenario or wording changes |
| Same scenario, different variable | Nearly identical question with one changed parameter (e.g., drug dose, age) |
| Same topic, different subject angle | Cross-subject integration of a topic previously asked in one discipline |
| Verbatim repeats | Direct word-for-word copies - the rarest form |
Key Numbers
- ~30% of NEET PG questions have some connection to PYQs (all four types combined) - cited by multiple coaching brands
- NEET PG 2025 specifically: ~30% repeats from PYQs and FMGE recalls were reported by candidates
- 10-15 questions out of 200 may be near-verbatim repeats in a given paper
- 18-25% of recent papers are image-based, a growing trend that PYQs alone can't fully prepare you for
Subjects with the Highest PYQ Repetition
- Medicine (including Dermatology, Psychiatry)
- OB-GYN
- Pathology
- PSM (Community Medicine)
- Pharmacology
Practical Takeaway
Solving the last 5 years of NEET PG papers (~1,000 questions) plus last 3 years of INI-CET (~600 questions) gives you the best PYQ coverage. The exam has been shifting toward clinical vignettes (70% in 2025) and image-based Qs, so PYQs are best used for concept mapping, not rote memorization.
