Oral Pathology & Medicine: Strategy for NEET MDS/INI-CET

Oral Pathology and Medicine are the fundamental and basic subjects of dentistry. It is very important to have a good hold on these subjects to have a good clinical practice.

A proper diagnosis is vital to a good treatment plan. Also, a lot of systemic disease have oral manifestations which appear as early signs. So it is very important to have an in depth knowledge of these subjects. 

Past year trend for no. of questions asked from Oral Pathology and Medicine  in NEET MDS are: 
From NEET MDS and INI-CET point of view, approximately 20-28 direct questions appear when we combine these two subjects, which accounts for 9% of the question paper. 

Every year, approximately 10-15 indirect questions which require inter linking knowledge to Oral Pathology and Medicine appear in NEET MDS and INI-CET exams.  So it is one of those subjects which cannot be ignored and needs a good preparation.
