Abstract
Background: PBL is a small group teaching method that combines the acquisition of knowledge with the development of skills and attitudes. Educationally, it is based on adult learning theory and is predicted to produce a better learning environment and improved outcomes in terms of graduate knowledge, skills, and attitudes.

Results: The three sessions were scored, Session 1: punctuality, teamwork, chair (leadership), cooperation in group, applying prior knowledge. Session 2, makes them self-learners and improve their literature search skills, according to learning objectives. Last but not the least Session 3 in addition to above students update integrated knowledge (Table - 1). The scatter plot the score achieved by hundred students in the three session of PBL which shown in Table 2.
