MATERIALS AND METHODS Students of MBBS III year, Batch 2013 and 2014 of our medical college and hospital were exposed to newer methods of learning and evaluation in Otorhinolaryngology like small group learning, large group learning and Objective Structured Clinical Examination and their impact was analysed. Review of last 10 years MBBS ENT question papers of various Indian universities was also done. RESULTS The newer methods of teaching and assessment were found more acceptable among the students of both batches and it increased their interest in learning Otorhinolaryngology.
