objectives covered in each module.

A BCQ has a statement or clinical scenario followed by four options (likely answer).

Students after reading the statement/scenario select ONE, the most appropriate response

from the given list of options.

Correct answer carries one mark, and incorrect ‘zero mark’. There is no negative marking.

Students mark their responses on specified computer-based/OMR sheet designed for LNHMC.

o EMQs:

An EMQ has:

o An option list of 5-15 which may be nerve supply, functions, diagnosis, investigations etc

o A Lead In –Statement/Question

o Two to four Stems or Clinical Scenarios

For each stem or clinical scenario, the student should choose the most appropriate option from the

option list.

A single option can be used once, more than once or not at all.

Correct answer carries one mark and incorrect ‘zero mark’. There is NO negative marking.

Student mark their responses on a specified computer-based sheet for EMQs.

OSPE/OSCE: Objective Structured Practical/Clinical Examination:

Each student will be assessed on the same content and have same time to complete the task.

Comprise of 12-25 stations.

Each station may assess a variety of clinical tasks, these tasks may include history taking, physical examination, skills and application of skills and knowledge

Stations are observed, unobserved, interactive and rest stations.

Observed and interactive stations will be assessed by internal or external examiners.

Unobserved will be static stations in which there may be an X-ray, Labs reports, pictures, clinical

scenarios with related questions for students to answer.

Rest station is a station where there is no task given and in this time student can organize

his/her thoughts.
