This is a large, multi-part request. A reliable predicted NEET PG 2026 paper should be built from:
- NEET PG trend analysis: subject-wise weightage and recurring concepts across the last 5 years
- Recent INI-CET analysis: high-concept and integrated clinical-question trends
- Recent FMGE analysis: core factual repeats and commonly tested basics
- 2026 prediction blueprint: expected subject distribution, high-yield themes, and question styles
- Full mock paper: 200 single-best-answer MCQs with answers and concise explanations
- Revision add-on: a list of predicted repeat topics and “must-do” areas
In broad terms, the 2026 paper is likely to continue moving toward clinical integration, image-based questions, applied pharmacology, radiology/pathology correlation, emergency algorithms, national programmes, and newer guideline-oriented concepts. INI-CET trends can help identify the more conceptual end of the spectrum, while FMGE reinforces foundational topics that NEET PG can test in a more clinical format.

43. Negri bodies
Negri bodies are characteristic of:
A. Rabies
B. Measles
C. Poliomyelitis
D. Herpes simplex encephalitis
Answer: A. Rabies
Explanation: Negri bodies are intracytoplasmic inclusions found in neurons, classically hippocampal pyramidal cells and Purkinje cells.
44. Vaccine in pregnancy
Which vaccine is contraindicated during pregnancy?
A. Tetanus toxoid
B. Inactivated influenza vaccine
C. Hepatitis B vaccine
D. MMR vaccine
Answer: D. MMR vaccine
Explanation: MMR is a live attenuated vaccine and is contraindicated during pregnancy.
45. Secondary attack rate
Secondary attack rate is best defined as:
A. Total number of new cases in a year
B. Proportion of susceptible contacts who develop disease after exposure to a primary case
C. Proportion of people with disease at a point in time
D. Number of deaths divided by total population
Answer: B. Proportion of susceptible contacts who develop disease after exposure to a primary case
Explanation: It measures disease spread among close susceptible contacts of primary cases.
46. Sensitivity
Sensitivity of a screening test is its ability to correctly identify:
A. People without disease
B. People who have disease
C. False-positive results
D. True-negative results
Answer: B. People who have disease
Explanation: Sensitivity = true positives divided by all persons who truly have the disease.
47. Skewed data
The most appropriate measure of central tendency for highly skewed data is:
A. Mean
B. Median
C. Standard deviation
D. Variance
Answer: B. Median
Explanation: The median is less affected by extreme values and is preferred for skewed distributions.
48. Medical confidentiality
A doctor may disclose confidential patient information without consent when:
A. A friend of the patient asks
B. A journalist asks
C. Disclosure is required by law or needed to prevent serious harm
D. The patient is a public figure
Answer: C. Disclosure is required by law or needed to prevent serious harm
Explanation: Confidentiality may be breached only when legally mandated or when necessary to prevent serious risk to the patient or others.
49. Organ donation ethics
A competent patient states that they wish to donate organs after death. Respecting this decision primarily upholds:
A. Autonomy
B. Non-maleficence
C. Justice
D. Paternalism
Answer: A. Autonomy
Explanation: Autonomy is the right of a competent person to make informed decisions about their own body and treatment.
50. Organophosphate “aging”
In organophosphate poisoning, “aging” refers to:
A. Spontaneous recovery of acetylcholinesterase activity
B. Irreversible strengthening of the organophosphate-acetylcholinesterase bond
C. Increased acetylcholine synthesis
D. Delayed gastrointestinal absorption of poison
Answer: B. Irreversible strengthening of the organophosphate-acetylcholinesterase bond
Explanation: After aging, the enzyme-organophosphate complex cannot be reactivated by pralidoxime.Not exactly.
The 50 questions were a standalone predicted mini mock, not the first 50 questions of an already-created 200-question paper. I had mentioned a 200-question full mock as a possible next deliverable, but I have not yet generated its remaining 150 questions.
So:
- You have completed a 50-question high-yield predicted mock.
- If you want a full 200-question NEET PG 2026 predicted mock, I can build 150 new questions to complete it.
- Those 150 would be fresh questions, with answers and crisp explanations immediately below each question, in the same format.A 150-question expansion is best created in three prediction-focused batches, not as one long unstructured dump, so each block can target the newer clinical and image-driven pattern rather than padding with random recall.
-
Questions 51-100: Major clinical subjects
Medicine, Surgery, Obstetrics-Gynecology, Pediatrics, emergency algorithms, ECG/radiology/pathology interpretation.
-
Questions 101-150: Preclinical and paraclinical integration
Pathology, Pharmacology, Microbiology, Forensic Medicine, PSM, image and lab-based vignettes.
-
Questions 151-200: Remaining subjects and recent-trend integration
Anatomy, Physiology, Biochemistry, ENT, Ophthalmology, Orthopedics, Dermatology, Psychiatry, Radiology, Anaesthesia, plus INI-CET-style linked clinical stems.
The first 50 covered many core classics. The remaining set will deliberately emphasize next-best-step decisions, investigations, imaging signs, ECGs, pathology slides, drug adverse effects, public-health updates, and mixed-subject clinical vignettes. It will still be a prediction-oriented mock, not a claim that these exact questions will appear.
