Frequency of occurence of a particular disease or health problem Weights assigned to Topic and domains

10. Assigning Weights( Content) Impact Frequency

11. Topic Impact Frequency Weight(IXF) Renal 1 2 2 Respiratory 2 2 4 CVS 3 3 9

12. Assigning Weights(Domain)

13. Assigning weights(Tools)

14. STEP 3 Total weightage and no.of items TOTAL WEIGHTAGE= Impact( i ) x frequency(F) Sum of products OF I AND F Maximum 100 items

15. Total weightage…..

16. Total Weightage…..

17. STEP 4 TABLE OF SPECIFICATION EXAMPLE Total marks-60 Theory-(42 marks) PRACTICAL- (OSCE) 18 MARKS

18. STEP 5 PREPARE INDIVIDUAL QUESTIONS

19. Advantages of blue print Assessments made clear and transparent Specific weightage for various domains and competencies Reduction in validity threats Setting question paper as per norms and guidelines
