Abstract (Original Language): 
The aim of physics education is the development of conceptual understanding of the natural world in which we live. Physics is an experimental science and force is the central part of it. To study the conceptual understanding of physics, it is necessary to study the concept of force of the students. In this paper, the concept of force of different students are assessed using force concept inventory (FCI) developed by Hestenes, D et al. In this paper, it is also studied that whether the concept of force differs for male and female students or for urban and rural students or for science and engineering students or for B.Sc. and M.Sc. students. The misconceptions about force of the students of different categories are also discussed.
