Background: Fingerprint evidence is undoubtedly the most reliable and acceptable evidence till date in the court of law. Due to the immense potential of fingerprints as an effective method of identification, the present study aims to analyze their correlation with gender and locality. The word "Dermatoglyphics" indicates the study of epidermal ridge pattern on fingers, palm, and soles. In this study an attempt has been made to study the fingerprint patterns of medical students of Tezpur Medical College, Tezpur, Assam, India. Fingerprint patterns are studied in 200 students, 100 males and 100 females. Dermatoglyphic prints of the fingertips are taken using the ink method. Distribution of dermatoglyphic fingertip patterns are studied in both hands among males and females and compared. Results: The results show maximum number of loops (52.3%), followed by whorls (42.2%) and arches (5.5%). In comparison with worldwide distribution of various fingerprint patterns, this study shows more numbers whorl pattern of fingerprints in Indian medical students, just like few other studies done earlier involving India medicos. Conclusion: This study thus creates a doubt in the minds of the observers; do Indian Medical Students really show more whorls in their fingers?
