The agile training programme would be an intervention package to educate the nursing students on basic neonatology for 21 days. The topics are neonatal care, new-born examination, new-born feeding, new-born immunization and neonatal resuscitation. Basic knowledge and skills of above-mentioned topics will be assessed through OSCE (objective structured clinical examination) as a baseline and soon after the intervention post-test 1 and followed by post 2 will be conducted with the interval of 7 days. The control arm will not receive the intervention up to post-test 2 in order to check the efficacy of the methodology. Due to ethical consideration the control group will be taught about the agile methodology for selected topics with the duration of 10 days (sensitization with training)
