Subject-Wise Syllabus Overview
Anatomy Syllabus
Anatomy at 1st Year MBBS covers gross anatomy (regional and systemic), histology, embryology, and genetics, with an emphasis on structures relevant to clinical practice. A full topic-wise breakdown by region (upper limb, lower limb, thorax, abdomen, head and neck, neuroanatomy) is being compiled and will be added here once confirmed against the RUHS syllabus document.
Explore the Anatomy subject hub and Anatomy notes for topic-wise study material.
Physiology Syllabus
Physiology at 1st Year MBBS covers general and systemic physiology, including nerve-muscle physiology, blood, cardiovascular, respiratory, renal, endocrine, reproductive, and central nervous system physiology, along with special senses. It builds the mechanistic foundation that later clinical subjects, particularly General Medicine, rely on heavily.

Biochemistry Syllabus
Biochemistry covers the chemical basis of life processes, including metabolism, enzymes, and molecular biology, along with a laboratory-based practical component. It is the most conceptually dense of the three 1st year subjects and rewards early, consistent revision over last-minute cramming.

Exam Pattern - MBBS 1st Year
RUHS 1st year MBBS subjects are assessed through theory, practical, and viva components as per NMC CBME norms. In general, 1st Year MBBS subjects under NMC CBME are assessed through a combination of theory papers, practical or clinical examinations, viva voce, and internal assessment, with a minimum pass requirement in each component. Students must secure a minimum of 50 percent marks separately in theory and practical examinations to pass, with an overall aggregate of 50 percent required for each subject.
Internal assessment for 1st Year MBBS at RUHS typically includes periodic theory and practical tests, attendance, and assignment or logbook completion, conducted through the academic term. Most Indian universities, including RUHS, require a minimum internal assessment score to be eligible to sit the university exam, alongside the university exam pass requirement itself.
Exact per-subject exam pattern details for RUHS, including theory paper count, marks per paper, and practical exam structure, are being confirmed with our subject matter experts against official RUHS regulations.
