Results: Majority of the students think that following time table, breaking study time into bits, finish-ing the work on the day, reading in morning and library, use of posters, charts and internet for difficult top-ics will help in better learning. Teacher should be interactive, loud, clear and use innovative techniques while teaching Conclusion: Student’s perspective thinking about the factors like fol-lowing time schedule, use of inno-vative and relaxation techniques and requirements from teachers are all important factors in better learn-ing of the medical curricula.
