In India, every year a huge number of engineering graduates are being produced who basically have good theoretical knowledge of the subject but lacks the appropriate practical and problem solving skills which hinders in getting a good job. Engineering education in India as in past is still imparted through chalk and talk method which lays least emphasis in developing essential skills in the students. Problem based learning (PBL) method is very effectively used in the field of Medical sciences for more than four decades. To see the need and effectiveness of Problem Based Learning in the field of Engineering a systematic review was conducted. The critical examination of the review studies revealed that Problem based learning is an productive method in the field of engineering which not only enhances the performance of students but also improves problem solving and but also develops creative thing which helps in problem solving and further motivates the students in the process of learning leading to long term retention of the content learned through collaboration.
