Attainment of Course Outcomes

Describe the assessment processes used to gather the data upon which the evaluation of Course Outcome is
based

In the Outcome Based Education (OBE), assessment is done through one or more than one processes, carried out
by the institution, that identify, collect, and prepare data to evaluate the achievement of course outcomes (CO’s).

A. List of assessment tools and processes

Assessment tools are categorized into two methods to assess the course outcomes as:

Direct and Indirect methods

 Direct method display the student’s knowledge and skills from their performance in the continuous
internal assessment tests, semester examinations, seminars, and class room and laboratory assignments
etc. These methods provide a sampling of what students know and/or can do and provide strong evidence
of student learning.

 Indirect methods such as surveys and interviews ask the stakeholders to reflect on students’ learning.
They assess opinions or thoughts about the graduate’s knowledge or skills and their valued by different
stakeholders.

Direct Assessment methods are formative as well as summative

These rubrics can be used by students in revising and judging their own and progress
Continuous Assessment Continuous Assessment Test is much focused on attainment of course and program
Test outcomes using a descriptive exam
The assignment is one of the analytic rubrics used to evaluate students’ knowledge
Assignment
associated with learning outcomes.
End Semester End Semester Examination is much focused on attainment of course and program
Examination outcomes using a descriptive exam
Lab Practical
This is a performance tool to access the students’ practical knowledge

Indirect Assessment methods
To evaluate the success of program in providing students with opportunities to

Record the attainment of Course Outcomes of all courses with respect to set attainment levels
 A. verify the attainment levels as per the benchmark set for all courses

The process of assessing the Course outcome and its attainment level is benchmarked based on the regulations
framed by DAC.

Our institution is an autonomous institution and hence our syllabus is framed by our own Subject Experts based
on industrial needs and same will be reviewed by Board of Studies and Academic Council twice in an Academic
Year. As per the Autonomous regulation R2019, R2020 and R2023 the outcome of the course is graded for 100
marks. These 100 marks are split into 25 for internal evaluation and 75 for external evaluation. The assessment
tool defined are categorized into
