So It was decided to take feedback of the students and medical college teachers who have undergone IMNCI training. Methodology: 115 students and 36 medical college teachers were given prevalidated questionnaire to test knowledge, methodology and open comments about IMNCI. Questionnaire with 30 items was designed to know feedback about IMNCI Training. Results: It was found that the 66 % were satisfied with IMNCI training, 50 % use IMNCI in practice,72% knew principles of IMNCI and 91% understood assessment of the children based on IMNCI guidelines, colour coded system and components of IMNCI. Introducing IMNCI in syllabus and textbooks may improve usage of IMNCI in practice. The students felt color coded system of IMNCI will help in early referral. Integration at field and in other subjects was appreciated and students wanted more hands on training at hospital and field level. Only 25% medical college teachers who have undergone F IMNCI training felt it is better than IMNCI which includes protocol based and skill based workshop.
