NEET PG Medical Entrance Exam Syllabus

Can you provide me the syllabus for NEET PG (National Eligibility cum Entrance Test - Post Graduate) Medical Entrance Exam as I will be giving the exam this time so need it for preparation?

[pawan]

Now, NEET PG (National Eligibility cum Entrance Test - Post Graduate) Medical Entrance Exam is replaced by All India Post Graduate Medical Entrance Examination (AIPGMEE). Its syllabus is as follows:

The syllabus for the test shall comprise of subjects/knowledge areas as per the Graduate Medical Education Regulations issued by Medical Council of India with prior approval of Government of India

Pre-clinical subjects - Phase I: In the teaching of these subjects stress shall be laid on basic principles of the subjects with more emphasis on their applied aspects.

(1) HUMAN ANATOMY

(i) Goal

The broad goal of the teaching of undergraduate students in Anatomy aims at providing comprehensive knowledge of the gross and microscopic structure and development of human body to provide a basis for understanding the clinical correlation of organs or structures involved and the anatomical basis for the disease presentations.

(ii) Objectives :

A) Knowledge : At the end of the course the student should be able to

a. comprehend the normal disposition, clinically relevant interrelationships, functional and cross sectional anatomy of the various structures in the body.

b. identify the microscopic structure and correlate elementary ultra-structure of various organs and tissues and correlate the structure with the functions as a prerequisite for understanding the altered state in various disease processes.

c. comprehend the basic structure and connections of the central nervous system to analyse the integrative and regulative functions of the organs and systems. He/She should be able to locate the site of gross lesions according to the deficits encountered.

d. demonstrate knowledge of the basic principles and sequential development of the organs and systems, recognise the critical stages of development and the effects of common teratogens, genetic mutations and environmental hazards.

He/She should be able to explain the developmental basis of the major variations and abnormalities.

(B) Skills : At the end of the course the student should be able to:

(a) Identify and locate all the structures of the body and mark the topography of the living anatomy.

(b) Identify the organs and tissues under the microscope.

(c) understand the principles of karyotyping and identify the gross congenital anomalies.

(d) understand principles of newer imaging techniques and interpretation of Computerised Tomography (CT) Scan, Sonogram etc.

(e) understand clinical basis of some common clinical procedures i.e.,intramuscular & intravenous injection, lumbar puncture and kidney biopsy etc.

(C) Integration : From the integrated teaching of other basic sciences, student should be able to comprehend the regulation and integration of the functions of the organs and systems in the body and thus interpret the anatomical basis of disease process.

(2) HUMAN PHYSIOLOGY INCLUDING BIO-PHYSICS


(A) PHYSIOLOGY

i) GOAL: The broad goal of the teaching of undergraduate students in Physiology aims at providing the student comprehensive knowledge of the normal functions of the organ systems of the body to facilitate an understanding of the physiological basis of health and disease.


ii) OBJECTIVES


a) KNOWLEDGE : At the end of the course the student will be able to :

(1) explain the normal functioning of all the organ systems and their interactions for well coordinated total body function.

(2) assess the relative contribution of each organ system to the maintenance of the milieu interior.

(3) elucidate the physiological aspects of normal growth and development.

(4) describe the physiological response and adaptations to environmental stresses.

(5) list the physiological principles underlying pathogenesis and treatment of disease.

b) SKILLS : At the end of the course the student should be able to :

(1) conduct experiments designed for study of physiological phenomena.

(2) interpret experimental/investigative data.

(3) distinguish between normal and abnormal data derived as a result of tests which he/she has performed and observed in the laboratory.

c) INTEGRATION : At the end of the integrated teaching the student should acquire an integrated knowledge of organ structure and function and its regulatory mechanisms.

(B) BIOPHYSICS

(a) GOAL & OBJECTIVES : The broad goal of teaching Biophysics to undergraduate students is that they should understand basic physical principles involved in the functioning of body organs in normal and diseased conditions.

(b) Topic distribution

(i) Physical principles of transport across cell memberanes and across capillary wall.

(ii) Biopotentials.

(iii) Physical principles governing flow of blood in heart and blood vessels.

Also physical principles governing flow of air in air passages.

1. On the topic covered in didactic lectures.

2. Practical: Demonstration of :

a) Biopotential on oscilloscope

b) Electro Encephalogram (EEG)

c) Electro Myelogram (EMG)


d) Electro Cardiogram (ECG)

(3) BIOCHEMISTRY : Biochemistry including medical physics and Molecular Biology.

i) GOAL : The broad goal of the teaching of undergraduate students in biochemistry is to make them understand the scientific basis of the life processes at the molecular level and to orient them towards the application of the knowledge acquired in solving clinical problems.

ii) OBJECTIVES

a) KNOWLEDGE: At the end of the course, the student should be able to:

(1) describe the molecular and functional organization of a cell and list its subcellular components;

(2) delineate structure, function and inter-relationships of biomolecules and consequences of deviation from normal;

(3) summarize the fundamental aspects of enzymology and clinical application wherein regulation of enzymatic activity is altered;

(4) describe digestion and assimilation of nutrients and consequences of malnutrition;

(5) integrate the various aspects of metabolism and their regulatory pathways;

(6) explain the biochemical basis of inherited disorders with their associated sequelae;

(7) describe mechanisms involved in maintenance of body fluid and pH homeostasis;

(8) outline the molecular mechanisms of gene expression and regulation, the principles of genetic engineering and their application in medicine;

(9) summarize the molecular concepts of body defence and their application in medicine;

(10) outline the biochemical basis of environmental health hazards, biochemical basis of cancer and carcinogenesis;

(11) familiarize with the principles of various conventional and specialized laboratory investigations and instrumentation analysis and interpretation of a given data;

(12) the ability to suggest experiments to support theoretical concepts and clinical diagnosis.

b) SKILLS: At the end of the course, the student should be able to:

(1) make use of conventional techniques/instruments to perform biochemical analysis relevant to clinical screening and diagnosis;

(2) analyze and interpret investigative data;

(3) demonstrate the skills of solving scientific and clinical problems and decision making;

c) INTEGRATION : The knowledge acquired in biochemistry should help the students to integrate molecular events with structure and function of the human body in health and disease.
