This classification system will provide the backbone for yearly audits of hospitals. It will help to set up new protocol for hospital settings.

Patients were followed during course of labor.

Group 1 and Group 2 made second and third highest contribution in C section rate as per nulliparous patients Further more we analysed Group 5 almost 85% of women undergone C sections for previous C sections Group 9 has 100% C section rate Conclusions: Group 1 and Group 2 which consists of nulliparous patents with either spontaneous or induced labour is having more caesarean section rate.
