The knowledge score of ANM 1st year students in post-test shows majority (95.8%) acquired above average knowledge while, 4.2 % had average knowledge and none of them had below average knowledge. The calculated value of paired t-test is 25.84 which is greater than the tabulated value of paired t-test with 69 degree of freedom i.e.2.
