AIIMS INI-CET Part-A and Part-B prospectuses

INI-CET MDS is the dental postgraduate route within AIIMS INI-CET. Verified AIIMS July 2025 logistics list a 200-question, 180-minute CBT with four 45-minute parts, +1/-1/3 scoring, and percentile cut-offs; MDS eligibility is based on BDS, internship completion, and dental council registration. Topic weights are not separately published for MDS, so candidates should verify the current AIIMS Part-A and target institute Part-B prospectus each session.

Sample INI-CET MDS Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to review concepts for the INI-CET MDS exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1Which statement best describes the INI-CET MDS route in official AIIMS materials?
A.MDS is one of the postgraduate courses covered by the common INI-CET process
B.MDS admission is conducted only through NEET-PG for medical graduates
C.MDS candidates take a separate AIIMS exam unrelated to INI-CET
D.INI-CET is only for undergraduate BDS admission
Explanation: AIIMS INI-CET materials list MDS among the postgraduate courses covered by the common entrance process. The dental route is for eligible BDS graduates seeking MDS seats at participating Institutes of National Importance, with institute-specific rules published in Part-B prospectuses.
2A candidate applying for the MDS route should primarily verify which eligibility combination in the current AIIMS prospectus?
A.BDS degree recognition, compulsory rotating internship completion, and dental council registration
B.Class 12 marks only, because dental registration is checked after MDS completion
C.MBBS degree and medical council registration only
D.A completed PhD in oral biology before sitting for the entrance test
Explanation: For the MDS route, official AIIMS materials point to BDS qualification, completion of the required internship by the session deadline, and DCI or state dental council registration. Institute-specific details, dates, and documents must be checked in the current Part-A and Part-B prospectuses.
3According to the AIIMS INI-CET Part-A scheme consulted, the common CBT has which format?
A.200 objective questions over 180 minutes
B.100 descriptive questions over 2 days
C.50 viva questions with no written test
D.300 questions over 6 hours with no timed parts
Explanation: The AIIMS Part-A prospectus consulted describes a common computer-based test with 200 objective questions over 180 minutes. It also describes four sequential parts of 50 questions, each active for 45 minutes.
4In the AIIMS INI-CET marking scheme consulted, how is an incorrect answer scored?
A.Minus one-third of a mark
B.Zero marks with no penalty
C.Minus one full mark
D.Minus two marks
Explanation: The AIIMS Part-A prospectus consulted lists +1 for a correct answer, -1/3 for an incorrect answer, and 0 for unanswered or marked-for-review items. That negative marking makes low-confidence guessing strategically risky.
5Why should an INI-CET MDS practice plan avoid claiming fixed official dental subject weights?
A.AIIMS does not publish a separate MDS-only topic weighting in the consulted materials
B.Dental anatomy is never tested in dental postgraduate entrance exams
C.Only public health dentistry can appear in MDS entrance questions
D.Subject weights are always identical to BDS lecture-hour tables
Explanation: The official AIIMS materials consulted publish common CBT logistics and MDS eligibility, but not a separate MDS-only content weighting. A credible practice plan can cover BDS dental sciences broadly while clearly stating that official MDS topic percentages were not published.
6How many teeth are present in the normal permanent dentition, including third molars?
A.32
B.20
C.24
D.28
Explanation: The normal permanent dentition contains 32 teeth when all third molars are included: 8 incisors, 4 canines, 8 premolars, and 12 molars. The dental formula per quadrant is 2 incisors, 1 canine, 2 premolars, and 3 molars.
7Which cell type forms enamel matrix during tooth development?
A.Ameloblast
B.Odontoblast
C.Cementoblast
D.Fibroblast
Explanation: Ameloblasts differentiate from inner enamel epithelium and secrete enamel matrix proteins. They are lost after eruption, which explains why enamel has no true regenerative cellular repair capacity.
8Which dental formula represents the primary dentition per quadrant?
A.2 incisors, 1 canine, 0 premolars, 2 molars
B.2 incisors, 1 canine, 2 premolars, 3 molars
C.1 incisor, 1 canine, 1 premolar, 2 molars
D.2 incisors, 0 canines, 2 premolars, 2 molars
Explanation: The primary dentition has 20 teeth total. Per quadrant, it includes 2 incisors, 1 canine, no premolars, and 2 molars; premolars are permanent teeth that replace primary molars.
9Which permanent tooth typically erupts first and is often called the six-year molar?
A.Permanent first molar
B.Permanent first premolar
C.Permanent canine
D.Permanent second molar
Explanation: The permanent first molar usually erupts around age 6 and does not replace a primary tooth. Because parents may not notice it as a new permanent tooth, it is at high caries risk if preventive care is delayed.
10Dentin sensitivity is best explained by which microscopic feature?
A.Fluid movement within dentinal tubules stimulating pulpal nerve endings
B.Direct innervation of enamel rods
C.Cementum crystals firing action potentials
D.Pain receptors inside salivary ducts
Explanation: The hydrodynamic theory explains dentin sensitivity by fluid shifts inside dentinal tubules that stimulate pulpal nerve endings. Tubules are wider and more numerous closer to the pulp, increasing sensitivity when dentin is exposed.
