ABSTRACT Objective:- To assess the knowledge, attitude and practise of second year MBBS medical undergraduates towards the drug regulation act 1940,1945 rule and other legal aspects. Method:–A cross-sectional questionnaire-based study was conducted among second-year medical undergraduates of GSVM, Medical College, Kanpur. A pre-test was conducted before taking the lecture, and after sensitizing the students about Drug and Cosmetic Acts1940, 1945 Rule and other legal aspect, again the same questionnaire was given as a post-test. Result:- A total of 251 students, 140 students participated in the pre-test and 147 participated in the post-test. The percentage of male students in pre & post-test was more (55% and 44.20.4%) compared to female students (43.4 % and 56.6%). Conclusion:- The inclusion of these topics in the undergraduate curriculum is a good initiative by NMC but there is a need to conduct more CMEs, symposiums, and workshops in medical colleges to update the knowledge regarding PG/PE among medical undergraduates.
