The problem-solving conference is a student centred technique that provides the student an opportunity to express his/her ideas. The learner can come out with their thoughts as what they need to excel in their field. This allows a better student involvement, active participation in expressing their thoughts, problems encountered and also helps in finding out valid and suitable solutions for them.
The present study has been well carried out explaining both the positive and negative attitudes towards PSC with the possible explanations to them. It has also highlighted the solutions to the problems faced. This study can be extended for a larger study group including students from different setup.
