MedMCQA tests whether a model can answer multiple-choice medical questions drawn from two of India's largest postgraduate medical entrance examinations, AIIMS and NEET PG. Each question covers one of 21 medical subjects (anatomy, pharmacology, surgery, obstetrics, and so on) and asks for the single best answer among several options, mirroring the format used to screen doctors applying for postgraduate specialty training in India. It is a single-turn, English-language, text-only task; the authors report it requires more than ten distinct types of reasoning across the question set, from single-fact recall to multi-hop clinical reasoning. Because the exams it draws from are specific to the Indian medical curriculum, its subject mix and phrasing differ somewhat from the US-focused MedQA, even though both are "medical multiple-choice" benchmarks.
Four-option multiple-choice medical exam question; the model returns a single letter answer (A-D).
