Abstract
The final year exams are the most important exam in the career of the undergraduate medical student. And the performance can be made by the self assessment or not is the question most of us as students have. Hence a study to see if any such correlation exists. This is a comparative study of the student’s self assessment of the outcome of final year M.B.B.S examination to the final university results of the final year M.B.B.S PART II general surgery examination in a medical college. Using a questionnaire method we have try to find a correlation between the above said topics. And by use of the Microsoft excel we have drawn the tables and charts. The important comparison is that the students with a self assessment of performing poor in the final year exams also have a 60% chance of a pass. So the correlation of the student’s self performance to the final year university surgery clinical exams and the self assessment has a least value to the end result of the exams except in problem based learning. we have concluded that there no correlation of the student’s self performance to the final year university surgery exams and the self assessment has a least value to the end result of the exams.
