Objective structured practical examination (OSPE) a new
assessment tool has been implemented in a few medical colleges.
This method of assessment was planned to be implemented in our
medical college, before which the authors planned to compare the
scores obtained by the students by conventional method of
examination and OSPE. The marks obtained by the two methods
of examination were compared and a feedback was collected from
students to study their perspective towards OSPE. There was
statistically significant difference in the mean of the scores
obtained by conventional method and that of OSPE. The students’
perception about OSPE was good. This study enabled the authors
to standardize the pattern of OSPE and implement it.
