The questionnaire included 10 closed and one open ended questions which included the themes in educational spiral like: learning objectives, teaching-learning and assessment. Statistical data analysis was done by using descriptive and inferential statistics (Chi-square test) and p<0.05 was considered as level of significance. Qualitative data was analysed using coding and categorization. Results: Percentage of students participated for first, second, third Part I and third Part II MBBS were 87.5%, 80.09%, 93.16% and 90% respectively. The students were aware of some terms like learning objectives, its importance, curriculum; but knowledge component was missing. For some terms like cognitive, psychomotor, affective domain, simulation, formative, summative assessment; awareness as well as knowledge was missing.
