The written assessment of medical students is very important in view of assessing the various levels of cognitive domains. The validity of any assessment depends upon the appropriate constriction of assessment tool. Framing an ideal theory assessment tool that covers the whole syllabus with proportionate weightage to various content areas according to their importance is big challenge for the paper setter. Considering the vast nature of Community Medicine syllabus constructing a theory assessment tool as per above said ideals is still more difficult. Blueprinting of syllabus i.e. covering all the content areas with allocating proportionate weightage to various content areas can overcome this issue and helps the paper setter to construct a uniform and valid assessment tool. Department of Community medicine has constructed such two blue prints that can be used for either formative or summative type of theory examination.
