What's inside the PDF:
  • Cover page with your exam details (13th & 14th July 2026, MVJ Medical College)
  • Weightage summary table for both papers at a glance
  • Paper 1 (10 chapters) - questions ordered from highest weightage (Epidemiology 25-30%) down to lowest (International Health 1-4%), with LE / SE / SN labels and mark values
  • Paper 2 (10 chapters) - questions ordered from highest weightage (CD & NCD 26-28%) down to lowest (Recent Advances 2-3%)
  • Scoring strategy tables for both papers showing exactly which topics give you 60+ marks
  • General exam tips - RGUHS paper pattern, time management, diagram advice

Are these questions from RGUHS

I want to be fully honest with you here — no, they are not directly from RGUHS past papers.
What I generated were predicted/model questions based on:
  • The topic names and weightage percentages from your circular
  • Standard community medicine syllabus content
  • General knowledge of how RGUHS-pattern exams are structured (LE/SE/SN format)
I do not have access to an actual RGUHS question paper database. I should have made that clear upfront — I'm sorry I didn't.

What you actually need

Real RGUHS past question papers for Community Medicine (3rd Prof MBBS). These are available from:
  1. RGUHS official website - rguhs.ac.in - question paper archive section
  2. Your college library - bound copies of past papers
  3. Telegram groups - search "RGUHS MBBS question papers Community Medicine" - there are active groups sharing 10+ years of papers
  4. Sites like - medicalstudentcorner.com, medicalnotes.in, and similar that compile RGUHS past papers
  5. Your seniors - 3rd year seniors from MVJ who appeared in previous batches will have the actual papers

What my questions ARE still useful for

Even though they aren't verbatim past questions, they are aligned with the correct weightage and cover the right topics. RGUHS tends to ask the same core concepts repeatedly - so practicing these will still prepare you well.
Best approach: Get real past papers + use my list to identify which topics to focus on based on weightage. The combination will cover you for 60+.

See from Singi yayiraj book then

Finding Sources
Finding Sources
I need to be upfront with you again.
"Singi Yayiraj" / "Singi Yajraj" is a popular Community Medicine textbook written specifically for RGUHS students (it's the local author book many Karnataka MBBS students use). Unfortunately, that book is not in my library — only Park's Textbook of Preventive and Social Medicine is available in the medical library I have access to.

What I can do instead:

Option 1 — Use Park's (available in my library) Park's is the gold standard reference for Community Medicine. I can pull actual content, definitions, classifications, and topic summaries from Park's for every chapter in your syllabus. The questions I give you will then be grounded in actual textbook content (not just predicted).
Option 2 — Be honest about Singi Yayiraj Singi Yayiraj's book ("A Complete Textbook of Community Medicine") is designed to align with RGUHS questions chapter by chapter. Since I don't have it, I cannot pull questions from it directly. Your best sources for that book's content are:
  • Your physical copy of the book
  • PDF versions circulated in RGUHS student Telegram/WhatsApp groups
  • Your classmates who may have it

My recommendation: Let me use Park's to pull the actual textbook content for each high-weightage topic and frame questions from that - that will be far more accurate and reliable than my earlier generated list.
Shall I do that? I can start with Epidemiology (Paper 1) and Communicable Diseases + MCH (Paper 2) since those carry the most marks.
