A Non-probability convenient Sampling Technique was used. Data analysis was done mainly using descriptive & inferential statistics test- paired t test was applied. Result: Researcher applied t-test for the effect of Planned Teaching on knowledge regarding Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome.

Whereas in the post test none of the adolescent girls had poor level of knowledge score 10(20%) of the adolescent girls had average level of knowledge score, 38(76%) of the adolescent girls had good level of knowledge score and 2(4%) of the adolescent girls had excellent level of knowledge score. This indicates that The overall mean percentage of post-test knowledge score of adolescent girls 62% was apparently higher than the overall mean percentage of pre-test knowledge score 39.21 %. And it was significant at 0.1% level. Paired t‘= 9.61, p<0.05 indicating that planned teaching was effective in gaining knowledge of adolescent girls on polycystic ovarian syndrome.
