No. Apple releases updates when they are needed; for example, maintenance OS X versions are released every two or three months
As has already been said, Apple does not follow a set schedule of updates.
If your concern is security, note that if there's an important security update, Apple releases it as soon as it's ready.
Thanks guys, that was useful. I do have one more question in this regard, My aplogies.
Are these patches have severity accosiated with it such as Critical, Medium or Low like Microsoft Patches? Please let me know.
Thanks.

No. When it comes to security updates, they don't try to guess which might be important and which not so much... They're ALL important.
Thanks a lot Thomas !! That was really helpful !!
