NTR University of Health Sciences MBBS: PYQs, Syllabus and Results (2026)

NTRUHS MBBS Question Papers (2025 to 2023)

GeckoMed covers seven priority subjects across three paper years (2025, 2024, and 2023) for NTRUHS MBBS. These subjects span Phase 1 (1st Year), Phase 2 (2nd Year), and Phase 3 Part 2 (Final Year) of the NMC Competency-Based Medical Education (CBME) curriculum. The seven subjects, namely Anatomy, Physiology, Pathology, Pharmacology, Microbiology, General Medicine, and General Surgery, represent the subjects with the highest exam-frequency and the broadest question bank depth for NTRUHS specifically.

Each subject listing page groups papers by year and includes direct links to individual year pages where questions are listed in full. If you are preparing for an upcoming NTRUHS university exam, the listing page for your subject is the starting point. The listing pages are also the quickest way to cross-reference how a topic has been tested across multiple years, which is especially useful in the two to three weeks before a university exam when you are narrowing your revision focus.

For targeted revision of topics that recur most often in NTRUHS papers, the important questions pages for each subject are linked in the table below. These are compiled from PYQ analysis and SME review, and they are updated annually to reflect the most recent papers.

How to Use NTRUHS PYQs

Previous year question papers are the most reliable guide to what NTRUHS examiners have prioritised in the past, and many high-yield questions recur across years with minor reframing. The recommended approach is to start with the most recent paper (2025), note the topics that appeared, then cross-reference with 2024 and 2023 to identify patterns. Topics that appear across all three years are your first-priority revision areas, regardless of how familiar you already feel with them.

Phase 1 (1st Year) — Anatomy and Physiology: These two subjects have the largest question banks of any phase at NTRUHS. For Anatomy, the PYQs show a consistent pattern of long-answer questions drawn from osteology, gross anatomy of major regions (upper limb, lower limb, thorax, abdomen), and neuroanatomy. Short-answer questions frequently test embryology and histology. Physiology papers tend to draw heavily from cardiovascular, respiratory, and renal physiology for long answers, with short answers frequently appearing from special senses and reproductive physiology. Use the Anatomy question papers and Physiology question papers alongside the anatomy notes and physiology notes to connect exam questions with the underlying content.

Phase 2 (2nd Year) — Pathology, Pharmacology, and Microbiology: These three subjects often feel like a heavier workload than Phase 1 because all three run concurrently and each has a substantial theory paper. For Pathology, PYQs show strong representation of general pathology (inflammation, neoplasia, cell injury) in long answers, with systemic pathology appearing frequently in short answers. Pharmacology papers tend to test drug classification, mechanisms of action, and adverse effects, with clinical pharmacology appearing in final-year crossover questions. Microbiology PYQs draw from both bacteriology and immunology for long answers. Use the study aids charts alongside these papers, particularly for drug classification tables in Pharmacology and culture media in Microbiology.

Phase 3 Part 2 (Final Year) — General Medicine and General Surgery: Final Year NTRUHS papers for Medicine and Surgery are clinically oriented and benefit from integration with viva preparation. Topics that appear in the General Medicine PYQs overlap significantly with the medical topic pages on GeckoMed, covering conditions like Tuberculosis, Diabetes Mellitus, Anaemia, and Hypertension. Surgery papers frequently test surgical anatomy, operative principles, and clinical case-based questions. Use the General Surgery question papers alongside the viva preparation section to consolidate both theory and clinical assessment readiness.

NTRUHS MBBS Syllabus 2026

The NTRUHS MBBS syllabus follows the National Medical Commission (NMC) Competency-Based Medical Education (CBME) framework, which applies uniformly across all NMC-recognised medical universities in India. The CBME curriculum structures learning outcomes around competencies rather than topic lists alone, and the university exam papers across all phases reflect this framework. NTRUHS, as an affiliating university in Andhra Pradesh, implements the NMC CBME guidelines for all undergraduate medical programmes under its purview.

The shift from the earlier traditional syllabus to the NMC CBME framework means that university exam questions at NTRUHS are increasingly framed around clinical application and integrated understanding rather than isolated recall. This is particularly visible in Phase 2 and Phase 3 papers, where question stems often describe a patient scenario before asking a theory question. Understanding the competency framework for your phase, rather than just the topic list, helps you anticipate how questions will be framed.

The syllabus for each phase specifies the subjects, competency codes, and assessment types relevant to that year. The GeckoMed syllabus pages present the subject-wise competency structure in a student-readable format, with links to the corresponding PYQs and notes for each subject.

If you are a 1st Year student, start with the 1st Year Syllabus and cross-reference it with the Anatomy and Physiology question papers to see how the competencies map to actual exam questions. If you are in Final Year, the Final Year Syllabus gives you the full competency list for Medicine, Surgery, OBG, and Paediatrics.

NTRUHS MBBS Exam Dates and Results 2026

NTRUHS announces university exam schedules and publishes results on its official university website. GeckoMed tracks NTRUHS exam dates and result notifications and updates its dedicated pages when official announcements are made. The pages below are updated as soon as information becomes available from the university.

NTRUHS typically conducts university theory exams in two main windows across the academic year, with supplementary exams held for students who need to reappear. The exact dates, hall ticket release schedules, and practical exam timetables are announced by the university and are not confirmed in advance on GeckoMed. For the most current schedule, check the exam dates page which is updated when official notifications are released. Do not rely on unofficial sources or social media groups for exam date and result information. Always verify against the official NTRUHS announcement.

Study Resources for NTRUHS MBBS Students

Beyond PYQs and the syllabus, GeckoMed has a set of study resources that work alongside NTRUHS exam preparation. The resources below are relevant across all four phases and are structured to complement, not replace, your college teaching and textbook study.

• MBBS Notes covers subject-wise notes for all four phases, including anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, pathology, pharmacology, microbiology, community medicine, and the Final Year clinical subjects. Notes are structured for exam relevance and cross-linked to corresponding PYQs where available.
• Viva Preparation provides topic-wise viva questions with model answers for key subjects. For NTRUHS students, viva prep for Physiology, Biochemistry, Pathology, and the Final Year clinical subjects is particularly important given the weight of practical and oral assessments in the CBME framework.
• MBBS Mnemonics covers memory aids for high-yield topics across subjects including Anatomy, Pharmacology, and Microbiology. Mnemonics on GeckoMed are mapped to exam-relevant content, not general knowledge.
• Study Aid Charts includes drug classification charts, microbiology culture media charts, and reference tables that are commonly tested in both theory and practical assessments. The antibiotic classification and antihypertensive drug charts are especially useful for 2nd Year students covering Pharmacology and Microbiology.
• Medical Topic Pages provides condition-wise clinical notes for Final Year subjects, structured as a replacement for PowerPoint slides. Topics include Diabetes Mellitus, Tuberculosis, Anaemia, Hypertension, Myocardial Infarction, Pneumonia, and more. These are built for NTRUHS students who are covering General Medicine and General Surgery during Phase 3 Part 2 clinical postings.

MBBS Practical Resources covers histology slide identification, biochemistry practical exam questions, and anatomy practical questions, all of which form part of the continuous assessment in Phase 1 and Phase 2 at NTRUHS-affiliated colleges.
