Duration: 3 hours
Long Essay Questions test in-depth understanding of a disease or clinical scenario — typically covering definition, aetiology, pathophysiology, clinical features, investigations, and management in a single integrated answer. Short Essay Questions cover a focused aspect of a condition: a clinical presentation, a diagnostic approach, or a treatment protocol. Short Answer Questions test definitions, clinical signs, investigations, or brief mechanism descriptions.
General Medicine also has a separate clinical and viva examination conducted in the hospital setting. The clinical examination requires students to present a patient case, perform targeted clinical examination, and answer viva questions on the patient and related topics. This component is assessed independently from the theory paper.

How to Use RGUHS General Medicine Question Papers
General Medicine is the most clinically comprehensive subject in Final Year. The paper spans every organ system, which means the question coverage is broad and the preparation load is significant. PYQs are the most reliable guide to how RGUHS examiners prioritise the syllabus.
- Start with the last three years. The 2025, 2024, and 2023 papers together give the clearest picture of the current question pattern under NMC CBME. Topics that appear across all three years are high-priority for your revision.
- Identify LEQ topics separately from SEQ topics. Long Essay Questions at RGUHS typically cover the most important disease conditions — diabetes, hypertension, myocardial infarction, tuberculosis. Short Essay Questions cover a wider spread of the syllabus. Recognising which topics are asked at which mark level tells you how deep your answer needs to be.
- Use the clinical examination paper as a guide for the theory. Topics that appear in both theory and clinical examination — anaemia, jaundice, heart failure, stroke — are especially high-yield. Thorough preparation for those conditions serves both components simultaneously.
- Attempt the 2021 paper under timed conditions. With the 2025-2023 papers used for pattern analysis, the 2021 paper makes a strong full timed practice test. Three hours, no notes, all sections answered in sequence.
- Cross-reference weak areas with notes and important questions. After attempting a paper, check the questions you struggled with against the RGUHS General Medicine important questions page to see whether those topics are high-frequency exam items that need priority revision.
