Commonly asked questions
Q:   What is the approximate weightage of topics such as Dental Materials, General Medicine and General Surgery in NEET MDS?
A: 

Topics such as Dental Materials, General Medicine and General Surgery carry approximately 14 marks each in the NEET MDS entrance exam. The National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) does not release the exact topic-wise weightgae of NEET MDS exam. Moreover, the past year NEET MDS question papers are also not released by NBE. Hence, the exact makrs or weightage prediction is difficult. The approximate weightage mentioned here is based on previous years' student reactions. 

Q:   What is the total number of questions in NEET MDS exam?
A: 

The NEET MDS exam consists of 240 objective type multiple choice questions (MCQs). Each question carries four answer options, out of which candidates have to select the correct answer option and mark it. Divided into two parts, the Part A of the question paper will have 100 questions and Part B of the paper will have 140 questions. 

Q:   Does NBE release previous years NEET MDS question papers?
A: 

No, NBE or NBEMS does not release previous years' NEET MDS question papers. Since NBEMS follows a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA), test-takers are also prohibited to release or discuss about the NEET MDS questions. But for practice purpose, students rely on the top medical coaching institutes which are run by faculty members of top colleges or alumni members, who have a thorough idea about the exam pattern and question types of NEET MDS.

Q:   What is the total number of subjects in the NEET MDS exam?
A: 

There are a total of 17 subjects or topics from which questions are asked in the NEET MDS exam. Each of the subject carries 14 to 15 questions. While all subjects carry 14 questions, there are two subjects, General Medicine and General Surgery, which carry 15 questions each. Candidates will not be provided any choice in terms of attempting the subjects or sections. Moreover, there is no time limit to attempt the subjects. Hence, candidates will have to divide the time accordingly in order to solve as many questions as possible within the three hours total duration. 

Q:   Does solving the previous year NEET MDS question papers prove helpful?
A: 

Yes, solving previous years NEET MDS question papers plays a vital role and has been proven beneficial as well. Solving previous years question papers helps the candidate to analyse themselves thoroughly and gives a clear picture of their exam preparations. Candidates get a proper insight into their current situation and help them strategise and plan their preparations accordingly. However, NBE or the exam conducting body does not release the NEET MDS question papers. Hence, students can either rely on their mentors or professors, or previous year candidates' memory based questions.
