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.

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.
