There is increased demand for doctors in India and elsewhere throughout the world. Considering this, the government of India has taken initiatives to increase the number of medical colleges, thereby produce enough medical graduates to cater to the ever-increasing population of the country. Also, there is a debate over the quality of medical education provided by medical institutions. Therefore, the National medical council (NMC), the statutory body instituted by the government of Indiafor governing medical practice and education, had taken several initiatives to improve the quality. One among them is the introduction of Medical Education Technology (MET) as a mandatory requirement for the teaching faculty. Another significant development in this direction is the change of curriculum that focuses more on the mandatorystudent’s competencies in the patient management perspective. The new curriculum creates a space for students to perform research projects for a period of two months after the completion of the third year of study. We, therefore present a clear perspective on the teacher, learners’ attitudes along with the overview of benefits and types of research.
