A recent study conducted at Bhaikaka University in Gujarat, India, examined the level of cognitive domains and the weightage of various topics in the undergraduate summative examination question paper of community medicine. The study found that the cognitive domains assessed in the subject across all five universities were unsatisfactory, and the weightage of marks allotted to topics varied. The researchers concluded that there is a need to develop a question paper plan that facilitates a systematic distribution based on different levels of cognitive domains and topics. This study provides new insights into the assessment methods used in community medicine education. [Extracted from the article]
