Version 1.0 — Published April 2026
Quick Answer
The best free NEET PG question banks in 2027, ranked by daily practice value:
- NEETPGAI free tier — unlimited MCQs across all 19 subjects, AI-powered explanations, AI tutor for doubt solving, adaptive difficulty. Permanent free access, no trial expiration, no credit card.
- Marrow free content — limited QBank (500-800 questions), some free introductory video lectures with expert faculty. Good for video-first learners.
- PrepLadder trial — 7-day full access to QBank and video library. Excellent for one-time deep exploration, but not a sustained free resource.
- Other free QBanks — MedMCQA (open-source PYQ database), Drishti (limited free tier), and various Telegram groups (quality varies widely).
For sustained daily practice, NEETPGAI's permanent free tier offers the best combination of question quality, AI features, and zero-cost daily volume.

NEETPGAI free tier: daily AI-adaptive practice
NEETPGAI's free tier is designed as a permanent practice companion, not a limited trial. You get unlimited MCQs — enough for consistent daily practice — with features that no other free platform offers.
Strengths:
- AI-powered explanations — every question comes with a step-by-step reasoning explanation, not just the correct answer. The AI breaks down why each distractor is wrong, which is where the real learning happens.
- AI tutor — after answering a question, you can ask follow-up questions ("Why is option C wrong?" or "Explain the mechanism of action of this drug"). This instant doubt-solving replaces the need to search textbooks or wait for forum responses.
- Adaptive difficulty — the system adjusts question difficulty based on your performance in real time. If you are getting pharmacology questions wrong, it serves you more pharmacology at an appropriate difficulty level.
- Permanent access — no trial period, no credit card required, no bait-and-switch.
Limitations (honest assessment):
- unlimited MCQs is not enough for serious preparation (you need 50-150/day depending on phase). The free tier is a practice companion, not a complete solution.
- No mock tests in the free tier — full-length mocks require Pro.
- No video lectures — NEETPGAI is practice-first by design.
- No offline access — requires internet connection.
Best for: Daily practice alongside a coaching platform (PrepLadder, Marrow) or textbook-based preparation. The AI tutor fills the doubt-solving gap that every other free platform leaves open.
Marrow free content: video-first with limited QBank
Marrow (by MedSchool) is primarily a paid platform, but offers some free content — introductory video lectures and a limited question set.
Strengths:
- Expert faculty — Dr. Abbas Ali, Dr. Deepu, and other well-known NEET PG educators deliver the lectures. Production quality is high.
- Structured curriculum — even free video content follows a logical subject-wise structure.
- Established reputation — Marrow is one of the two dominant coaching platforms (alongside PrepLadder) and its paid QBank is considered high-quality.
Limitations:
- Free QBank is small (500-800 questions across all subjects) — not enough for sustained practice.
- No AI features in the free tier — no adaptive difficulty, no AI tutor, no AI explanations.
- Free videos are introductory — they give you a taste but do not cover exam-depth content.
- The free tier is designed as a funnel to paid subscriptions, not as a standalone tool.
Best for: Students who want to sample Marrow's teaching style before committing to a paid plan. Good for concept clarification on specific topics.
PrepLadder trial: full access for 7 days
PrepLadder offers periodic 7-day trials that give full access to their video library and QBank.
Strengths:
- Full access to everything — video lectures, QBank, rapid revision — for 7 days. This is the most comprehensive free window any platform offers.
- Expert faculty — Dr. Deepak Marwah, Dr. Zainab Vora, Dr. Rakesh Nair are among the most recognized NEET PG educators.
- Well-organized QBank with explanations.
Limitations:
- 7 days is not enough time to meaningfully practice — it is an exploration window, not a preparation tool.
- After the trial, all access is removed. No permanent free tier exists.
- Requires phone number sign-up and credit card information in some trial periods.
- Once the trial ends, you cannot re-access the same questions or your performance data.
Best for: Strategic one-time use — spend the 7 days watching rapid revision videos for your weakest 2-3 subjects and attempting 200-300 QBank questions. Save notes from the explanations.
MedMCQA: open-source PYQ database
MedMCQA is an open-source academic dataset of 190,000+ medical MCQs derived from Indian medical entrance exams (AIIMS, NEET PG, JIPMER, etc.).
Strengths:
- Massive question volume — 190,000+ questions across 21 subjects.
- Free and open-access — no sign-up, no trial, no limit.
- Includes questions from multiple exam sources, not just NEET PG.
- Useful for researchers and developers building practice tools.
Limitations:
- No practice interface — it is a raw database, not a user-friendly QBank with analytics.
- Explanations are often brief or absent.
- No adaptive features, no performance tracking, no spaced repetition.
- Question quality varies — some are outdated, poorly formatted, or from exams with different difficulty levels.
- Requires technical comfort to navigate effectively.
Best for: Students who want raw question volume for self-testing. Best accessed through third-party apps that have built interfaces on top of the MedMCQA dataset.
Other free resources worth knowing
| Resource | What it offers | Limitation |
|---|
| NMC official PYQs | Previous year question papers with answer keys | No explanations, PDF format only |
| YouTube (Dr. Najeeb, Osmosis) | Free concept videos | Not NEET PG-specific, US/global focus |
| Telegram study groups | Shared MCQs, PYQ discussions, free notes | Quality varies wildly, misinformation risk, no explanations |
| Anki decks (medical) | Free spaced repetition flashcards | Requires curation, not exam-specific |
| AMBOSS free articles | Medical knowledge library | Limited free access, primarily USMLE-focused |
The optimal free strategy
If budget is a genuine constraint, here is the maximum-value free preparation stack:
- Daily practice (free): NEETPGAI free tier — unlimited MCQs with AI explanations and doubt solving
- Concept building (free): YouTube — Dr. Najeeb for basic sciences, Osmosis for quick concept videos
- One-time exploration: PrepLadder 7-day trial — watch rapid revision for 3 weakest subjects
- PYQ practice (free): NMC official papers + MedMCQA database
- Spaced repetition (free): Anki with a curated NEET PG deck
- Textbooks (library): Harrison for Medicine, Bailey & Love for Surgery, Robbins for Pathology
This stack costs zero rupees and covers concept building, daily practice, PYQ drilling, and spaced repetition. What it lacks: volume MCQ practice (need 50-150/day in later months), full-length mock tests, performance analytics, and clinical case practice. These gaps are where paid platforms provide genuine value.
When to upgrade to paid
Free resources have a ceiling. Consider upgrading when:
- You need more than 30 MCQs per day (typically from month 3 of preparation)
- You need full-length mock tests with analytics (essential from month 4)
- You need subject-wise performance tracking to identify weak areas quantitatively
- You need clinical case practice and image-based question training
NEETPGAI Pro costs Rs 299/month with no annual lock-in — roughly the cost of two chai-and-samosa outings. For the detailed paid comparison, see our PrepLadder vs Marrow vs NEETPGAI breakdown.
Frequently asked questions
Which free NEET PG question bank has the most questions?
NEETPGAI's free tier gives unlimited MCQs perpetually (300/month). Marrow offers 500-800 free questions total. PrepLadder gives full QBank access for 7 days. MedMCQA has 190,000+ questions but no practice interface. For sustained free practice, NEETPGAI provides the most consistent daily volume.
Are free question banks good enough for NEET PG?
For daily practice and reinforcement, yes. As a sole preparation tool, no. You need 10,000-15,000 MCQs across your preparation. Free tiers cover early-phase practice but not the volume needed for the final months.
Does NEETPGAI free tier have AI features?
Yes — AI explanations for every MCQ, AI tutor for follow-up questions, and adaptive difficulty. No other free NEET PG platform offers these features.
How does Marrow's free content compare to NEETPGAI?
Marrow offers free introductory videos (great for concept building) but limited QBank. NEETPGAI offers daily AI-adaptive MCQs with AI tutor but no videos. They serve different needs and work well together.
Is PrepLadder's free trial worth using?
Yes, as a one-time 7-day deep dive. Watch rapid revision for weak subjects and attempt as many QBank questions as possible. Save valuable explanations. Not a sustained free resource.
Can I prepare for NEET PG entirely for free?
Technically possible but not optimal. A free stack (NEETPGAI + YouTube + NMC PYQs + Anki) covers basics but lacks MCQ volume, mock tests, and analytics for the final months.
What should I look for in a NEET PG question bank?
Question quality, explanation depth, subject coverage, performance analytics, and regular updates. Free tiers often lack analytics and updates.
How many MCQs per day should I solve?
Early preparation: 30-50/day. Mid-phase: 60-80. Final 3 months: 100-150 including mocks. Free tiers (10-30/day) cover early-phase needs.
Start your free daily practice today — even 15 minutes of MCQs with detailed explanations builds the retrieval habit that compounds over months. The bank is unlimited and free. Create your free NEETPGAI account. Already using a free tier? See what Pro unlocks.
