Abstract: For a vertex v of a connected graph G(V,E) and a subset S of V, the distance between v and S is defined by d(v,S)=mind(v,x):xinS. For an ordered emph{k}-partition Pi=S1,S2ldotsSk of V, the representation of v with respect to Pi is the k-vector r(v|Pi)=(d(v,S1),d(v,S2)ldotsd(v,Sk)). The k-partition Pi is a resolving partition if the k-vectors r(v|Pi), vinV are distinct. The minimum k for which there is a resolving k-partition of V is the emph{partition dimension} of G. Salman et al.{ mcite{SaJaCh12}} claimed that emph{partition dimension} of a class of circulant graphs C(n,pm1,2), for all even ngeq6 is 4 and it is 3 when n is odd. In this paper we obtain the partition dimension of circulant graphs G=C(n,pm1,2ldotsj),1leqj<lfloorfracn2floor, ngeq(j+k)(j+1), nequivkmod(2j) and k and 2j are co-primes as, �egin{eqnarray*} pd(G) &=& j+1 when j is even and all k=2m-1, 1 leq m leq j \ pd(G)&=& j+1 when j is odd and all k=2m, 1 leq m leq j. end{eqnarray*}
