MECEE-PG MD/MS Syllabus & Subject Weightage

MECEE-PG MD/MS subject weightage

The revised MEC MD/MS table totals 200 marks: 115 clinical and 85 basic medical science, Community Medicine/Research, Forensic Medicine and mandatory CPD.

Clinical — 115 marks

Basic Medical Science and related components — 85 marks

Community Medicine + Research Methodology is divided as 6 + 4 marks. The listed mandatory CPD areas include medical ethics, rational use of medicines, infection prevention, BLS/ACLS and communication skills.

What the weightage actually tells you

Weightage tells you where the paper allocates marks. Medicine and Surgery lead at 18 marks each; OBGYN, Pediatrics, Anatomy and Physiology carry 12 marks each. That helps you allocate broad study time.

It does not tell you which topics inside those subjects deserve attention first. For that second decision, combine the official blueprint with direct MECEE-PG previous-year evidence and your own performance.

MECEE-PG MD/MS exam format — MEC revised 2025

The revised MD/MS syllabus specifies:

• 200 MCQs in single-best-response format, four options per question.
• 200 full marks; 3-hour examination.
• 0.25 mark deducted for every incorrect response.
• Recall 50%, Understanding 30% and Application 20%.
• 10 marks for mandatory CPD topics within the overall subject distribution.

Example: 120 correct and 20 wrong answers result in 115 marks (120 − 20 × 0.25), assuming one mark for each correct answer.

MD/MS eligibility in the MEC revised-2025 syllabus

The syllabus specifies these core requirements:

1. MBBS or equivalent qualification.
2. Registration with the relevant professional council in the applicant's country.
3. One year of experience for Nepalese candidates, except MDGP and MD/MS in Basic Medical Sciences as stated in the syllabus.
4. Upper 50th-percentile rank to qualify for inclusion in the entrance-examination merit list.

The upper 50th-percentile rank is not the same as scoring 50% of marks. Confirm current-cycle administrative requirements and notices with MEC. Merit-list eligibility does not guarantee a seat.
