Hi Jaison,
1. use a high frequency single ended probe.
2. make sure that the ground lead of the probe is as small as possible (
dont use the one with the clip-on ground leads which are quite long and pick
up lot of noise, instead use a spring type of ground lead nicely wound
around the unshielded ground portion of the probe)
3. its always better if the probe  be placed directly across the output
capacitor.

Regards,
Mitesh
