Ideally, it should be objective and comprehensive. Objective To compare marks obtained in two types of exams, objective structured practical examination (OSPE) and traditional practical examination (TDPE), in order to assess faculty members' and students' perception of OSPE Methodology Sixty students having 75% attendance were included in the present study.

Ninety five percent of students agreed that practical skills and knowledge acquired during OSPE would be also
