2. The assessment process uses both direct and indirect measures to measure the attainment of

each outcome.
The examples of such measures are given below

I. Direct attainment is calculated through

a) Examinations
b) Assignments and quiz

c) Projects or any other instrument used by the faculty for assessment

II. Indirect Assessment

Course Survey is carried out for every course in each semester to get a formal feedback from
students for the courses offered in a semester and provide objective information to the faculty for

self-appraisal, self-improvement and development. Formal student feedback is obtained online or
manually semester-by-semester mandatory course evaluation using course survey form.

3. The level of attainment of each Course Outcome is fixed at 60% across the University. The

direct method (90%), is based on marks obtained is assessment and indirect method (10%) is
based on the student survey.

4. The level of attainment of each Course outcome is computed using a macro enabled excel sheet.

5. A detailed summary of attainment of each Course Outcome is presented to the course

coordinator and Head of Department, and the reasons for non-attainment are analyzed and an

action plan report is also prepared.

6. By Undertaking Course Assessment at the end of each course, and finding out the strengths and

shortfalls of the learning taken place, necessary changes in Teaching-Learning Process, Course
Content etc. are proposed by course committee, these are taken into consideration whenever this

course is offered in subsequent semesters.

Assessment of POs and PSOs:

1. The Course Outcomes are mapped to appropriate Programme outcomes and Programme
specific outcomes through course and program articulation matrices, in a weighted manner.

2. The University Core (UC) and Programme Core (PC) courses are being taken for calculation of

PO attainment and Programme Core (PC) courses for PSO attainment. Weighted averages are
used to calculate POs and PSOs, which are obtained from using the course articulation and

programme articulation matrices.
