Introduction: Incidence of cervical cancer is still very high in India as compared to the western countries. It is the commonest genital malignancy and leading cause of women’s mortality. It is very unfortunate to see so many cervical cancer patients in India when there are preventive and screening methods available. The screening method is cheap but still not used as a national screening method in our country. The questionnaire survey was done to find out medical students’ knowledge about screening (Pap smear) and preventive (HPV vaccination) methods. They were also asked if they have been proactive in spreading this information far and wide. Methods:  Questionnaire survey was done of the final year and pre-final year medical students of Institute of Medical Sciences, Banaras Hindu University.  It was done in April and May 2015. There were total of 61 Final year Medical Students and 37 Pre-final year Medical Students (a total of 98 medical students). Results: Male students were 38 in final year and 17 in pre-final year. Female students were 23 in final year and 20 in pre-final year. Total number of male students was 55 and female students were 43. All students were unmarried. 89 students =90% (50 male and 39 female) knew cancer cervix and its predisposing factors. 77 students = 78% (38 male and 39 female) knew that HPV has a strong association in causation of this cancer. 54 students (55%) knew about the HPV Vaccine (42 female and 12 male). None of the female students had HPV vaccine. Male students were asked about their HPV vaccine intake and they thought it was a joke! Students were asked if they have explained to anyone in family or community regarding Pap smear or HPV vaccine, for which the reply was negative. 75 =76% (39 male and 36 female) students knew about Pap smear as a screening method. Conclusions: Students knowledge were  good about Pap smear and HPV vaccine but they need to be motivated to spread their information wide in the community. This is due to the very fact that incidence of cancer cervix is very high in our country and if we decide to make each and every medical student as a champion of it, it will do well to our society.
