Heightened focus on the quality of teaching in medical college has led to increased use of student surveys as a means of evaluating teaching.

Methods: 200 medical students of I MBBS & II MBBS voluntarily participated in the study. Based on teaching methods, an objective questionnaire paper was given to the participants to be solved in 1 hour. Results: As a teaching mode 59% of the students favored group discussion versus didactic lectures (14%). Almost 48% felt that those didactic lectures fail to create interest & motivation.
