Ethical clearance was taken from Institutional ethics committee. Data analysis was done mainly using descriptive statistics test, Demographic variable was analyzed by using frequency, percentage and descriptive statics. Result: Out of 200,according to this analysis 19.5% are having poor knowledge, 57.5% students are having average knowledge and 23% students are having good knowledge regarding swine flu. Conclusion: In age, education, religion, gender, source of information and area residing in the P value source of information is above 0.05 hence there is associated among knowledge and demographic variables, 19.5% are having poor knowledge, 57.5% students are having average knowledge and 23% students are having good knowledge regarding swine flu. Recommendations: The study may be conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of planned teaching or any other method, study can be done on association between various demographic variable, which were significant on larger sample, similar study can be replicated in different setting to strengthen the finding, study could be undertaken to assess the knowledge of swine flu.
