A total of 250 final year MBBS students participated by filling in a validated and pretested questionnaire already used by Russel et al.
and Khan et al.
in similar but separate studies including questions regarding exam content, quality of performance, OSCE validity and reliability, and so forth.
The data was analyzed using SPSS version 20.

96% of the students considered OSCE as valid and reliable and 87% were happy with its use in clinical competence assessment.
