Abstract
Aim: To determine the efficacy of Gagne’s nine events of instructions in improving the results of undergraduate final year students in subject of pediatrics.

All the data was recorded on structured proforma and was analyzed on SPSS version 17.
Results:The mean Non-Gagne’s marks were 25.7(9-57). The Independent sample T- Test showed no significant difference (p=0.523) between male and female students in Non-Gagne’s assessment. The total mean score of post-Gagne’s was found to be 74.39 ± 24.9 (14-100). Paired Sample T-Test showed a significant difference (p<0.001) between total mean of Non and Post-Gagne’s marks. Regarding the gender, Paired sample T-test revealed significant difference in favor of female students (p<0.001).
