This study sponsored by ICSSR, attempted to assess the perceptions of campus climate by the first, second and third year medical students. Differences in the work-value patterns and Professional aspirations were also studied. The results revealed that students of final years view their medical college environment less favourably than those in the early years. Students in the final years had work-values emphasizing the economic and status aspects more than those in the early years and academic aspects less than those in the early years. Creativity and independence were valued the most. The results of this study indicate the need for value education in the medical colleges.
