Frequently Asked Questions
1.What does the year-wise question count (e.g., "2019: 9 Qs | 2018: 15 Qs") mean?
It shows how many questions were asked from that chapter in each year's papers, so you can quickly spot chapters with consistently high weightage as well as ones where the number of questions has changed over time.
2.What does the "REDUCED" tag next to a chapter mean?
It indicates that part of that chapter (e.g., Biomolecules (B)) is no longer in the current AIIMS syllabus, so fewer of its questions are relevant now.
3.What does the "REMOVED" tag next to a chapter mean?
It indicates that the chapter (e.g., Mineral Nutrition) has been dropped from the current AIIMS syllabus. Its past questions are still listed if you want to practise them.
4.Are chapters the same across Botany, Chemistry, Physics, and Zoology?
No, each subject has its own distinct set of chapters, listed under its own heading. Use the Botany, Chemistry, Physics, and Zoology tabs at the top to jump to a subject.
5.Can I see chapter-wise trends going further back than 2018–19?
Yes, the PYQs span 2001 to 2019; the year-wise numbers shown alongside each chapter reflect the two most recent years, while the full historical range is available once you open the chapter.
