Introduction: Biochemistry is a very important subject in MBBS curriculum. because it teaches mechanisms of life at the molecular level Most students still have more difficulties in learning this subject and hate Biochemistry subject and what they do is mug up the topics before the unit tests. We though that there should be any supportive and alternative method to make the learning of Biochemistry interesting and increase curiosity of learning in the students’ minds. So, we decided to take poster preparation and presentation competition thinking that it will help in learning subject with interest along with traditional approach of learning biochemistry. Aim and Objective: To find out supportive or alternative method to learn biochemistry with interest by the student of first year MBBS Materials and Methods: 50 students participated then we grouped 3-5 student in each group into 10 groups. Topic was given to them related to medical biochemistry and asked them to prepare topic for poster preparation by giving proper instruction to prepare poster. 10 days’ time given to student to prepare topic by using standard textbook Results: Evaluation of poster done by expert teachers from department of anatomy physiology and biochemistry. Evaluation done based on 5 points that is content, originality creativity, presentation, interaction. Marks were given based on these 5 points and winner was decided. Prises given to first three groups. Conclusion: We started this alternative method to make the teaching of Biochemistry interesting and increase curiosity of learning in the students’ minds so, we as faculty along with majority of student found that Poster presentation exercise were beneficial activity to understand topic in depth and will increase interest of the student in subject biochemistry and all student participated enthusiastically So, we come to conclusion that this method can be supportive and alternative method to our traditional method of study biochemistry.
