Detailed characterization of the newly available plastic scintillator(EJ-299-33A) having the pulse shape discrimination (PSD) property has beencarried out in case of a large-sized detector (5 in.$\times$5 in.). The pulseheight response of the scintillator for nearly mono-energetic neutrons has beenreported in case of neutron energies E$_n$ =3, 6 and 9 MeV. Importantproperties (figure-of-merit (FOM), time resolution, detection efficiency) ofthe detector has been compared with a commonly used liquid organic scintillatorbased detector of the same size coupled to the same PMT for uniformity incomparison. The results show that the plastic scintillator detector has about12$\%$ better time resolution. However, the FOM and detection efficiency werefound to be lower than that of the liquid scintillator detector by 40 - 50$\%$and $\sim $25$\%$, respectively. The possibility of using the new plasticscintillator in large-scale nuclear physics experiments has been pointed out.
