The Multi-gap Resistive Plate Chamber (MRPC) is an upgraded version of Resistive Plate Chamber (RPC) with excellent time resolution. They have found suitable applications in several High Energy Physics (HEP) experiments and also in medical physics like Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging. We have successfully developed and tested with cosmic rays a prototype MRPC using bakelite sheets without any oil treatment. In this document, we report the cosmic ray test performance of the second similar prototype. This effort is towards the development of a prototype set-up for PET imaging in Medical Imaging Laboratory at Variable Energy Cyclotron Centre, Kolkata, India.
