Objectives: An opinion regarding different teaching, learning and assessment techniques of gross anatomy taken from 147 first MBBS students at MGM Medical College and Hospital, Aurangabad, Maharashtra with the help of specially designed questionnaire. Materials and Methods: Cross sectional study was conducted in the Department of Anatomy MGM Medical College, Aurangabad, Maharashtra with the help of predesigned questionnaire to the interest of 1st MBBS students batch 2018–19 in different teaching, learning and assessment techniques of gross anatomy.

Conclusion: Anatomy forms backbone of medical education for 1st MBBS students. This study assesses effectiveness of modern method versus old chalkboard method of teaching gross anatomy. Such studies give us an idea of our area of deficiencies and strengths of teaching methods which help in bringing corrective measures in future. Students welcomed PBL, horizontal and vertical integration and e-learning. Students preferred LCD (Lecture cum demonstration) over lecture with chalk and board. Surprisingly students preferred text book over teacher’s notes. Students are interested in multimedia teaching. Students favoured part completion test over weekly tests.
