Structured knowledge questionnaire was used to evaluate effectiveness of structured teaching programme. The conceptual framework used for the study was based on ‘MODIFIED OPEN SYSTEM’ theory.

Results: In pre test 26 [52%] subjects had average knowledge regarding mucormycosis, 20 [40%] subjects had good knowledge and only 4 [8%] subjects had average knowledge regarding mucormycosis. Whereas in post test, all 50 [100%] students had good knowledge regarding mucormycosis. The mean difference of pre test and post test was 8.46 and paired t value was 14.93.
