Q1 · Developmental Milestones
NEET PGEasyExplanation
Social smiling, in response to a caregiver, appears around 6 to 8 weeks. It is an important early social milestone; its absence beyond this age warrants developmental assessment.
Q2 · Motor Milestones
NEET PGEasyExplanation
Most infants sit without support by about 6 months. Other gross-motor milestones are head control by 3 months, standing with support by 9 months, and independent walking around 12 to 15 months.
Q3 · Birth Weight
MediumExplanation
Birth weight doubles by about 5 months, triples by 1 year, and quadruples by 2 years. A term infant may lose up to 10% in the first week and regain birth weight by 10 to 14 days.
Q4 · Anterior Fontanelle
NEET PGMediumExplanation
The anterior fontanelle normally closes between 9 and 18 months. Delayed closure may suggest hypothyroidism, rickets, or raised intracranial pressure; early closure may indicate craniosynostosis. The posterior fontanelle closes by 2 to 3 months.
Q5 · Speech Milestones
EasyExplanation
A normal child says 2 to 3 words with meaning by about 12 months, joins two words by 2 years, and speaks in short sentences by 3 years. Lack of any meaningful words by 18 months warrants evaluation.
Q6 · Primitive Reflexes
HardExplanation
The Moro (startle) reflex is present at birth and normally disappears by 3 to 6 months. Persistence beyond 6 months, or asymmetry, suggests a neurological abnormality such as cerebral palsy or a brachial plexus injury.
Q7 · Dentition
MediumExplanation
The first primary teeth, usually the lower central incisors, erupt at about 6 to 7 months. All 20 milk teeth are typically present by 2 to 2.5 years. Delayed eruption can occur in rickets, hypothyroidism, and Down syndrome.
Growth and Development sits within Pediatrics, which carries the same syllabus in both exams. This set runs to 7 questions, each tagged Easy, Medium or Hard, 1 of them at Hard, and 3 drawn from previous-year papers.
Answer first, then read the explanation even on the ones you got right — the reasoning is where Growth and Development marks are actually won, and it is what separates a recalled fact from a question you can solve in a new form. Once the Easy set feels comfortable, filter to Hard to find the gaps Pediatrics examiners keep returning to.
