DM/ MCh Courses Which Are Clubbed

NEET Super Speciality Exam Syllabus

The NEET Super Speciality exam question paper is divided into two parts and the syllabus for both parts is as under:

Syllabus for Part A

• This part of the question paper will have questions from eligible feeder broad speciality courses.
• If a candidate has opted for only a single feeder broad speciality course for a super-speciality program, the questions will be only from a single course. For instance, MS/ DNB Orthopaedics is the only feeder speciality for the MCh Paediatric Orthopaedics course. So, the Part-A of Paediatric Orthopaedics question paper will have questions only from Orthopaedics.
• For super-speciality courses which have multiple feeder broad courses, Part-A of the question paper will have questions from both the courses. For instance, for DM in Cardiology, the eligible feeder courses are General Medicine, Pediatrics, and Respiratory Medicine. So, the questions in Part-A will be from all three courses.

Syllabus for Part B

• The questions will be from the topics of PG (exit level) covering basic sciences and clinical practice.
