A validated questionnaire of 15 questions was prepared. Each question had 3-5 options and lastly about their suggestions and comments. Students were briefed about the study before giving them the feedback form. They were given sufficient time to fill the form and were asked not to reveal their identity for unbiased opinion. Results: 97% of students agreed that tutorial helps them in understanding the topic better. Majority of students (68%) will attend tutorial classes even if attendance is not compulsory. When asked about the environment during the tutorial, 72% of the respondents said that it is strict but interactive. Majority of students were in favour that tutorial’s topic should run parallel with lecture topic and should be taken by postgraduate students only. When asked about the structure of tutorial, majority of students (52%) felt that discussing whole topic will help them most. Many students suggested that tutorials should be well planned, organized and cover difficult topics in pharmacology i.e General, ANS and CNS. Conclusion: Teaching is a novel teaching technique which enhances interest among students. With some modifications and suggestions we can enhance the effectiveness of our current tutorials.
