A total of 198 first year MBBS students appearing for 3rd sessional practical examination enrolled after obtaining the consent. A questionnaire which consisted of 10 questions were given to the student and asked to answer within 15 minutes. Based on the feedback, Cronbach’s alpha and frequency distribution were calculated using SPSS 15.0 version. Results: Students perception of the clinical application based biochemistry practical examination was much better compared to the conventional method. Conclusion: Clinical application based biochemistry practical examination should be included as an essential component of practical examination. This will facilitate clinical reasoning amongst students.
