Zoology - Evolution

Practise 55 JIPMER previous year questions on Evolution, compiled from papers spanning 2004 to 2019. Each question is pulled directly from the actual exam paper it appeared in, so you're practising in the exact style and difficulty JIPMER tests.

Evolution has been asked in 0 of the 19 years of JIPMER papers analysed (2001–2019), with 55 questions in all. 56% of them were easy, 33% moderate and 11% tough. Most of its questions came from 2019, with 0 questions that year. In the last three years (2017–2019) it had 0 questions across 5 papers, about 0 per paper.

The chapter's 9 topics are not weighted equally: Evidences of Evolution (21 questions, 38%), Geological Timescale (7 questions, 13%), and Human Evolution (6 questions, 11%) have been asked the most. Human Evolution has produced the most tough questions (2).
