Microsoft PowerPoint software was utilized in CAI method to instruct students whereas the traditional method consisted of chalk & talk method with non-electronic teaching aids. The experiment was conducted on 50 students of a tenth class, divided into control and experimental group with a strength of 25 each. To compare the achievement of students Criterion-Referenced Tests (CRTs) were prepared and used before and after the instructional period. The findings revealed that there is a significant difference in means of pre-test scores and post-test scores of both groups, and when comparing post-tests of the control and experimental group, CAI has been favoured significantly in terms of achievement. Moreover, students of the CAI group overwhelmingly appreciated CAI method of teaching.
