MECEE-PG Nepal study guide
MECEE-PG Nepal · Work through your exam, one topic at a time.
MECEE-PG is the common entrance examination used for admission to postgraduate medical programmes in Nepal, including MD, MS and related clinical and basic-science degrees. It is intended for medical graduates who hold a recognised MBBS (or equivalent) qualification and who are competing for a limited number of residency and specialty seats. The MECEE-PG Nepal study guide has 9 sections and about 2,354 words.
01Pre-clinical Sciences: Anatomy, Physiology and Biochemistry
Pre-clinical questions reward structure–function links rather than isolated facts. For anatomy, know the major regions, the contents of key spaces (e.g., femoral triangle, carpal tunnel, inguinal canal), and the course of named nerves and vessels alongside the structures they supply.
322 words, about 2 min02Pathology
Pathology questions usually test mechanisms of disease and the microscopic or gross pattern that follows. Build a mental map of the four core processes: cell injury and death (necrosis vs apoptosis), inflammation (acute vs chronic, granulomas), neoplasia (benign vs malignant, grading vs staging, oncogenes vs tumour suppressors), and haemodynamic disorders (thrombosis, embolism, infarction, oedema).
297 words, about 1 min03Pharmacology
Pharmacology questions test mechanism, kinetics and adverse effects . Start with pharmacokinetics : absorption, distribution, metabolism (phase I and II reactions), and excretion, plus the concepts of bioavailability, volume of distribution, half-life and clearance.
282 words, about 1 min04Microbiology
Microbiology questions test organism identification, virulence and treatment . Build a classification framework: bacteria (Gram-positive vs Gram-negative, cocci vs bacilli, aerobes vs anaerobes), viruses (DNA vs RNA, enveloped vs non-enveloped), fungi (yeasts vs moulds), and parasites.
257 words, about 1 min05Internal Medicine and Allied Specialties
Internal medicine questions test diagnosis and first-line management across systems: cardiovascular (hypertension, ischaemic heart disease, heart failure), respiratory (asthma, COPD, pneumonia, tuberculosis), endocrine (diabetes, thyroid disease), renal, gastrointestinal, haematological and neurological disorders. For each, know the diagnostic criterion , the first-line investigation , and the initial treatment .
254 words, about 1 min06Surgery and Allied Specialties
Surgery questions test assessment, diagnosis and operative principles . Know the acute abdomen causes by quadrant, the trauma ABCDE approach (Airway, Breathing, Circulation, Disability, Exposure), and the principles of wound management and sepsis .
241 words, about 1 min07Obstetrics and Gynaecology
Obstetrics and gynaecology questions test antenatal care, labour, delivery and gynaecological pathology . Know the stages of labour , the partogram , and the causes of postpartum haemorrhage (the four T's: Tone, Trauma, Tissue, Thrombin).
247 words, about 1 min08Paediatrics
Paediatrics questions test growth and development, immunisation, and common childhood illnesses . Know the milestones of development (motor, social, language), the immunisation schedule , and breastfeeding vs formula principles.
222 words, about 1 min09Community Medicine and Public Health
Community medicine questions test epidemiology, biostatistics, health programmes and prevention . Know the measures of disease frequency (incidence vs prevalence), association (relative risk, odds ratio), and screening (sensitivity, specificity, predictive values).
