Methodology: Non experimental descriptive research design was adopted to assess the knowledge regarding BLS among Arts and Science students at SRM Institute of Science & Technology. 120 students who fulfilled the inclusion criteria were selected by using non probability convenient sampling technique. Structured questionnaires were used to assess the demographic variables and knowledge on BLS among students. Results: The analysis revealed that, majority 107(89%) of students had inadequate knowledge regarding BLS, 13(11%) of students had moderately adequate knowledge and no one had adequate knowledge about BLS. The study results revealed that, there was no significant association found between the level of knowledge regarding BLS among Arts and Science students with demographic variables .
