Abstract
Evaluation of students is a vital component of any educational process and it is necessary to assess their performance. It also gets a feedback of teaching process so as to improve the performance of teacher and student both. It is also of paramount importance to evaluate the tool used to assess the students so that the competencies aimed to achieve in the learner, can be measured. To fulfill the above goal, a study was undertaken for 1st M.B.B.S students at Seth G.S.Medical College, Mumbai. Students were exposed to two methods of evaluation viz a viz routine evaluation method in microanatomy (spots with unstructured viva and OSPE-objective structured practical examination).Feedback was taken in the form of a questionnaire and statistical analysis was done. The result shows that objective structured practical examination increases the objectivity and reduces subjectivity compared to conventional viva.
