Overall review of NEET PG 2022 exam

Overall, the NEET PG 2022 was a straightforward exam – with cherry red macula & Torres bodies & crumpled paper appearances & G6PD deficiencies. A few tricky questions: is the child with tender hepatomegaly & mild jaundice having icteric leptospirosis? There’s nothing to suggest DHF / Chikungunya & it’s definitely not hepatic encephalopathy!

Detailed analysis of NEET PG 2022 exam

As per the experts of Aakash:

• A lot of OBGYNs! Again, mostly straightforward. IUCD – contradictions; manual sweep for retained placenta; mid-pelvis (IBQ).
• As expected, several questions on contraception.
• A couple of questions on ectopic pregnancy.
• 75 image-based questions – but about 30 of those didn’t really need an image – like the one on hemolytic anemia having splenomegaly as the accompanying clinical finding.
• Many clinical scenarios – again a lot of them where the clinical scenario wasn’t relevant at all: for example, the 4-line description of cholera case, only to turn around and ask the receptor for the toxin!
• Quite a lot of questions from molecular biology & biochemistry – straightforward facts.
• Surgery was simple – exploratory laparotomy for perforation-peritonitis & stab wound; intussception.
• Tricky question on the inhaled foreign body: flexible bronchoscopy is risky in a hypoxemic patient & foreign body removal is easier with rigid bronchoscopy. Reduced air entry was the answer.
• Scleromalacia perforans – the one important ocular complication of RA.
• HLA-DQ2 seen in celiac disease.

Final verdict on NEET PG 2022 exam

Do the PYP-topics thoroughly:

• Cholera

• Contraception

• Enzyme deficiencies

• DKA

• PCSK9 inhibitors

• Warfarin-induced skin necrosis / HIT

• TEG

• PET-CT

• Perforation-peritonitis

• Psoriasis

• BCC – HPE

• Malakoplakia

• HPV

• Sarcoidosis

The winner will find solutions to problems. Others will find excuses.

NEET 2020 exam analysis by medical aspirants

According to the students, “Part A & B of the exam were of moderate level, however part C was extremely difficult and lengthy. The test had maximum number of clinical-case based questions than expected."

The subjects with highest weightage were Medicine, OBGY, Pharmacology, Surgery and the topics which was most difficult were PSM, Cartilage & Partograph. Despite the concerns over frauds, the officials kept a tight check on the security at every centre.

According to The Times of India report Dr. Sakthivel, from Anna Nagar, said "Questions from obstetrics & gynaecology (Obes. & Gyna.), Surgery and Ophthalmology were much more difficult and many didn't appear in previous year question papers." On the contrary, basic science (anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, pathology and microbiology) was easy and helped in focussing more on tougher questions.

Technical Glitches in NEET PG 2020
