Data was analyzed by using IBM SPSS version 20. The study showed that, 29.4% respondents were having high knowledge regarding febrile convulsion in children, 53.2 % respondents having medium and 17.5% respondents having low knowledge regarding febrile convulsion in children. There was significant low knowledge regarding predisposing factors of febrile convulsion than other factors of febrile convulsion among respondents. There was no association between demographic variables and knowledge level of mothers on febrile convulsion.
