Each teacher has designed the Course Outcomes for the courses taught and mapped it to appropriate Program Outcomes. The mapping is done at three levels: Low (1). Medium (2) and Strong (3).
Strength of Mapping of the CO to PO. : The mapping is done over all departments based on how closely a particular CO contributes to the attainment of given PO. This method is followed throughout the institution. If no classroom sessions then we considered the PO is not addressed and got the value zero.
For calculation of CO attainment, Direct method will be used, completely based on the marks scored at the offline examinations.
The Assessment method designed will be applied for all courses in the program. It will be based on several Assessment Instruments like Sessional marks, Continuous Assessment, Attendance, Student teacher interaction and End semester exams for Theory subjects. Sessional marks, Continuous Assessment, Attendance, Journal, Viva marks and End semester exams for Practical subjects. The weight age will be 20% of Internal marks and 80% of External marks.
