An online 15 multiple choice questions were prepared via Google forms and sent to 200 students. The knowledge skills were assessed based on the score number of corrected answers. Female students have significant adequate knowledge than male. Non-medical students have poor knowledge than medical students. There was no significant difference of knowledge whether students aware or trained on BLS or not. Hence, BLS should be incorporated in to the curriculum of all the students.
