Abstract: The Consumer Protection Act (CPA) in India was passed with the rationale and protecting the rights of consumers or beneficiaries. The doctor-patient relationship relies on mutual trust and conviction, but this trust, sacredness, and confidence, has become the talk of olden days, and now it sounds hollow. Some incidences cause suffering to the patients, forcing the legislature and the public to think twice about the credibility and authenticity of medical treatment given to the patients. In India, the CPA of 2019 was enacted for better protection of the interests of consumer grievances. The current study was conducted to know awareness about CPA among MBBS Students in medical college. The overall awareness about CPA 2019 before lecture session was in 47.6% of MBBS students. This study calls for increasing awareness regarding various issues of the Consumer Protection Act among the medical students. After the lecture session the overall awareness increased up to 71.9%.
