Obstetrics and Gynaecology NEET PG Previous Year Questions: Analysis and Trends
NEET PG OBG PYQ analysis -- high-risk obstetrics, gynaecological oncology, and contraception tested across approximately 18-25 questions per paper.
Obstetrics and Gynaecology in NEET PG: previous year question analysis
Obstetrics and Gynaecology (OBG) is a major clinical subject in NEET PG, contributing approximately 18 to 25 questions per paper. The subject covers both obstetrics (normal and high-risk pregnancy, labour, and puerperium) and gynaecology (menstrual disorders, infertility, gynaecological oncology, contraception).
NEET PG OBG questions are predominantly clinical, presenting obstetric or gynaecological scenarios and asking for diagnosis, investigation, or management. Imaging-based questions (ultrasound findings, CTG interpretation) are increasingly common. The subject requires integration of knowledge from anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, and pathology.
High-risk obstetrics (pre-eclampsia, gestational diabetes, antepartum haemorrhage) and gynaecological oncology are the most heavily tested areas.
Year-wise question distribution
OBG accounts for approximately 9-12% of the NEET PG paper. Obstetrics contributes roughly 55-60% and gynaecology 40-45%. Within obstetrics, high-risk pregnancy accounts for approximately 30-35% of obstetric questions. Labour and delivery management contributes 20-25%. Antenatal care and normal pregnancy share the remainder.
Within gynaecology, gynaecological oncology accounts for 25-30%, menstrual disorders and infertility each contribute 15-20%, and contraception accounts for 15-20%.
Most repeated topics
- **Pre-eclampsia and Eclampsia** (appeared Repeated 5-6 times in last 6 years): Diagnostic criteria, management (MgSO4), delivery timing
- **Antepartum Haemorrhage** (appeared Repeated 4-5 times in last 6 years): Placenta praevia vs abruption -- differentiation and management
- **Cervical Cancer** (appeared Repeated 3-4 times in last 6 years): Staging (FIGO), screening, HPV, management by stage
- **Contraception Methods** (appeared Repeated 4-5 times in last 6 years): IUDs, OCPs, emergency contraception, permanent methods
- **Gestational Diabetes** (appeared Repeated 3-4 times in last 6 years): Screening, diagnostic criteria, management, fetal effects
- **Ectopic Pregnancy** (appeared Repeated 3-4 times in last 6 years): Diagnosis, medical vs surgical management
- **Abnormal Uterine Bleeding** (appeared Repeated 3-4 times in last 6 years): PALM-COEIN classification, investigation, management
- **Labour Monitoring** (appeared Repeated 2-3 times in last 6 years): Partograph, CTG interpretation, stages of labour
- **Ovarian Tumours** (appeared Repeated 3-4 times in last 6 years): Classification, tumour markers, management
- **Infertility Work-up** (appeared Repeated 2-3 times in last 6 years): Male and female factor evaluation, ART basics
Topic-wise trend analysis
OBG in NEET PG has become increasingly guideline-driven. Questions test knowledge of current protocols for managing pre-eclampsia (NICE/ACOG guidelines), gestational diabetes screening, and cervical cancer staging (FIGO). Staying updated with current guidelines is important.
Ultrasound-based and CTG-based questions have increased, requiring candidates to interpret fetal biometry, amniotic fluid indices, and fetal heart rate tracings. This image-based shift mirrors clinical practice.
Gynaecological oncology has gained weight, with questions on staging, management algorithms, and tumour markers appearing more frequently. The integration of HPV vaccination and screening into cervical cancer prevention is a newer topic gaining prominence.
High-yield areas based on PYQ patterns
High-risk obstetrics (pre-eclampsia, antepartum haemorrhage, gestational diabetes, Rh isoimmunisation) is the single most productive area, contributing 5-8 questions per paper. Thorough understanding of diagnosis, management, and delivery timing for each condition is essential.
Gynaecological oncology (cervical, ovarian, endometrial cancers -- staging and management), contraception methods, and abnormal uterine bleeding form the next tier. These topics are tested consistently and reward systematic preparation.
How to use PYQs effectively
OBG PYQs should be solved with a clinical reasoning approach. For obstetric scenarios, practise identifying the diagnosis, assessing severity, and determining the management plan. This mirrors the exam format and builds clinical decision-making skills.
For gynaecology PYQs, focus on the management algorithms -- many questions test your ability to navigate from diagnosis to treatment selection, particularly for oncological conditions.
Practice strategy
Split OBG PYQ practice into obstetric and gynaecological sessions. For obstetrics, focus on high-risk conditions and labour management. For gynaecology, focus on oncology and contraception. This split ensures balanced coverage of both halves.
For CTG and ultrasound interpretation, supplement PYQs with dedicated image practice. These skills cannot be developed from text alone.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many OBG questions come in NEET PG?
Approximately 18 to 25 questions per paper.
Is obstetrics or gynaecology more important?
Obstetrics typically contributes slightly more questions, and high-risk obstetrics is heavily tested. However, both halves are essential and neither should be neglected.
Are ultrasound findings tested in NEET PG OBG?
Yes, increasingly so. Fetal biometry, amniotic fluid index, and placental localisation questions are common.
How important is FIGO staging?
Very important. Cervical, ovarian, and endometrial cancer staging by FIGO classification is tested regularly and is essential for management-based questions.
