RGUHS MBBS Exam Pattern
RGUHS conducts MBBS theory examinations under the National Medical Commission (NMC) Competency-Based Medical Education (CBME) framework. As a Tier-1 university with one of the largest affiliated college networks in Karnataka, RGUHS papers are among the most widely studied by MBBS students in South India.

| Framework | NMC CBME |
| Theory paper duration | 3 hours per subject |
| Paper format | Long essay questions (LEQs) + Short notes (SNs) |
| Practical and viva | Conducted separately per subject |

Competency-based; applied and clinical framing increases from Phase 2 onwards
RGUHS papers across all four phases are structured as long essay questions and short notes. Phase 1 papers (Anatomy, Physiology, Biochemistry) regularly include diagram-based questions alongside written sections. Phase 2 papers in Pharmacology, Pathology, and Microbiology increasingly test clinical application alongside core science. Final Year papers in General Medicine, General Surgery, OBG, and Paediatrics are substantially clinical in framing, with question stems often presenting patient scenarios before the theoretical question.
The availability of five years of papers (2025, 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021) across all 14 subjects makes the RGUHS archive on GeckoMed particularly useful for cross-year pattern analysis. Topics that recur across all five available years represent the highest-priority revision areas for any RGUHS university exam.
Note: Do not rely on this page for specific mark distributions by question type. Verify the current mark scheme from the official RGUHS examination notification for your subject and year before your exam.
Commonly Tested Topics in RGUHS Papers (2021-2025)
The following areas have appeared with consistency across all five years of RGUHS papers in the archive (2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025). This is a revision priority guide based on PYQ analysis, not a prediction. Subjects with an important questions page are linked for deeper topic-level preparation.

Study Tips for RGUHS MBBS Exam Preparation
- Use all five years, not just the most recent. The RGUHS archive covers five consecutive years: 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025. Topics that appear across all five years are genuinely high-yield. Do not skip older papers on the assumption that they are too old to matter.
- Cross-year pattern analysis is your strongest tool. With five consecutive years of papers for every subject, comparing what appeared in 2021 against 2025 gives a clear signal on which topics RGUHS examiners return to reliably. Start with 2025, then work backwards year by year to build your frequency map.
- Pair PYQs with important questions for priority subjects. For Anatomy, Physiology, Pathology, Pharmacology, Microbiology, General Medicine, and General Surgery, the important questions pages are compiled from PYQ analysis and save significant time during final revision.
- Phase 3 papers reward integrated preparation. RGUHS papers for ENT, Ophthalmology, and Community Medicine often draw from the same clinical scenarios as Final Year subjects. Students who have read Final Year material before their 3rd Year exams consistently answer Phase 3 Part 1 questions better.
- Use topic pages for Final Year clinical subjects. The medical topic pages on GeckoMed provide condition-wise clinical notes for high-frequency General Medicine and Surgery topics. These are built to replace the scattered PPT slide approach and align directly with RGUHS clinical paper question patterns.
- Use the app for cross-paper navigation. Switching between the 2025 and 2021 papers for the same subject is much faster in the GeckoMed app than in separate browser tabs. Load both years offline before exam season.
