Induction of labour (IOL) nowadays is a common procedure in obstetric practice. The success of IOL largely depends upon "favourability" or "readiness" cervix which is traditionally assessed by manual examination and Scored as Bishop Score. However, this method is limited by subjectivity and reproducibility and though done in all the patients prior to IOL, several studies have demonstrated poor correlation between Bishop Score and outcome of labour.
