NEET PG 2025 PYQs: Subject-Wise Recall Questions & Answers

NEET PG 2025 Exam: Memory-Based Recall Questions for Student-Prepared Study Guide

Overview of This Examination

NEET PG 2025 was conducted on August 3, 2025 from 9:00 AM to 12:30 PM and result was declared on August 19, 2025. Overall, the difficulty was rated as moderate, with Part C (the final section) leaning toward moderate-to-difficult. As ever, no official question paper is released, so the best guide to what was actually asked is thru “recall” or “memory-based” questions reconstructed by candidates after the exam.

Before starting, a quick note: recall questions are unofficial and rely on the candidate’s memory, so wording and answer choices may vary between sources. Consider them a guide to trends and high-yield topics—not a verified answer key.

How to effectively use PYQs
Make solving one past year paper (or a recall set) a daily part of your revision plan – it’s better to do a little every day than binge-solve.
Instead of trying to memorize each question, look for the themes that keep coming up over the years. NEET PG rewards pattern recognition.
Cross-check weak topics with a standard subject-wise MCQ bank after every recall set to reinforce the concepts, not just the answers.
In your last revision cycle, give priority to the topics that had the most weightage this year (see below).
Exam Trend Overall

Analysis of recalls from different coaching platforms showed that a paper had a heavy focus on clinical and image based questions.

The subjects of Medicine, Obstetrics Gynecology, Surgery and PSM (Community Medicine) dominated the number of questions. Integration of basic sciences (anatomy, biochemistry, physiology) with clinical scenarios were common, rather than isolated fact-recall.

Subject Wise Recall Questions Pharmacology

Q1. Patient presents with dry eyes, dry mouth and features suggestive of an autoimmune exocrinopathy. What do you think this is?
A. Sjögren's syndrome - an autoimmune disease predominantly affecting the lacrimal and salivary glands, most commonly related to keratoconjunctivitis sicca and xerostomia.

Q2. A patient with past history of pulsatile mass. First of all, what do you think of this?
 A pulsatile abdominal or peripheral mass should raise suspicion for a vascular aneurysm (most classically abdominal aortic aneurysm) and workup should start with imaging (ultrasound/CT) for confirmation.

Q3. A young patient with back stiffness, normal SI joint X-ray and anterior uveitis. Which investigation helps in early diagnosis?
A. Early, X-ray-negative ankylosing spondylitis. Clinical picture compatible with MRI of the SI joints is the investigation of choice (it can detect sacroiliitis before plain films) and HLA-B27 testing supports the diagnosis.

Dermatology

Q4. A patient has grouped, itchy vesicles on the elbows and knees associated with gluten sensitivity shows characteristic immunofluorescence pattern. Diagnosis?
A. Dermatitis herpetiformis – associated with celiac disease, classically showing granular IgA deposits at the dermal papillary tips on direct immunofluorescence.

Q5. Phrynoderma (toad skin appearance) in a patient. What deficiency is the most likely cause?
A. The classic cause is vitamin A deficiency, but phrynoderma has been linked to deficiencies of essential fatty acids and B-complex vitamins in some patients.

Pædiatrics/Orthopaedics

Q6. An 8 year old comes to see you with a painless limp. What's the diagnosis?
A. Idiopathic avascular necrosis of the femoral head (LCPD) is the classic cause of a painless limp in this age group (usually 4–10 years), more common in boys.

Operations

Q7. What surgical approach based on the size and location of the tumor will allow for complete resection with appropriate margin?
A. Recall sets this up as a general oncosurgery principle question, the right approach being to get negative margins and preserve function and candidates were expected to use standard resection principles (e.g. wide local excision vs. radical resection) based on the particular tumor scenario provided.

How to Get Ready for Future Tryouts
Learn master algorithmic management of obstetric and surgical emergencies, not isolated facts.
Emphasize Image-based Learning: There were lots of clinical images and case vignettes in this year's paper.
Integrate basic sciences with clinical medicine, don’t study in isolation.
Revise national health programs and biostatistics thoroughly for PSM, as there were very few calculation based questions and most of the questions were concept based.
Make it a habit to practice PYQ’s on a daily basis and keep track of the topics which are repeated over the past 3-4 years.

This is recollection and unofficial - actual wording, options and answers may vary from original NEET PG 2025 paper.
