Rheumatology is a medical Superspeciality with fewer seats in India. Not all hospitals and Medical colleges offer NEET SS in Rheumatology. DM Rheumatology is not only about Diseases and Clinical Cases. We know students concentrate more on applied aspects. From our experience of last few  years questions be it CBT Based tests or earlier Paper and pen based Exams, we have seen that students dont get most questions right. Faulty study practice to blame. Students expect in NEET SS especially NEET DM mostly questions based on diseases.

Important in NEET SS exams are the Basic Concepts. In medicine a fundamental knowledge of your anatomy, biochemical aspects, pathology, genetics Physiology is important. Subject specific questions based on pharmacology, drugs, immunotherapy, preventive aspects and Physiology are in high percentage. This branch has lesser competition as compared to other branches. The MD and DNB qualified students can apply in this Superspeciality.
