Anatomy has been always recognized as an essential foundation for clinical sciences. It has been the keystone of medical education for years together. It provides a platform of knowledge indispensable to all branches of medicine. However there is a continuing debate on how much to teach, when to teach and how to teach gross anatomy. An opinion regarding curriculum, teaching methodology & assessment techniques in anatomy was taken from the First MBBS students at K. J. Somaiy Medical College with specially designed questionnaire. The best method of learning is a combination of small batch teaching with dissection hall teaching on the cadavers. Majority students opined that the best method of assessment are viva & part ending tests. This study shows that the planning about the curriculum, teaching methodology & assessment techniques can be modified taking into consideration the opinion of the students so as to bring out the best in them.
