Each student is unique and so does his learning style. Students bring to classroom a range of learning styles owing to difference in culture, social system, area, education system etc. Understanding their learning styles is vital for the instructor to modify the teaching style that suits all students. The present study aims to investigate the learning styles of veterinary students of Punjab. In order to examine the learning styles of students of five years Bachelor of Veterinary Science and Animal Husbandry (BVSc & A H) degree programme, the online available Felder-Silverman index of Learning Styles (ILS) was used. Overall students were predominately active (57.36%), sensing (59.39%), visual (95.43%) and global (59.39%). The results showed that though majority students were balanced on one to three dimensions but still around one third students have moderate to strong preference on theses dimensions. The results indicated that learning style of veterinary students is independent of their gender. Further learning style of students has no significant effect on academic performance of students.
