This paper provides the estimation of the scale parameter of exponential distribution under multiply type II censoring. Using generalized non-informative prior and natural conjugate prior, Bayes estimator and approximate Bayes estimator of the scale parameter has been obtained under square error loss function. The proposed Bayes estimator and approximate Bayes estimator are compared with the estimator proposed by Singh, Kumar and Upadhyay (2003) and Balasubramanian and Balakrishnan (1992)on the basis of their simulated risks under square error loss function of 1000 randomly generated Monte Carlo samples.
