Criterion 3: COURSE OUTCOMES AND
PROGRAMOUTCOMES (175)
There must be a
documented process in
place to measure the
attainment of defined
POs/PSOs/COs
The process of measuring the
attainment of POs through
COs is demonstrated and
properly documented with
evidences
The process of measuring the
attainment of POs and COs is
demonstrated but not
properly documented with
necessary evidences
The process of measuring the
attainment of POs and COs is
not properly demonstrated
and not documented with
evidences
There is no well – defined
documented process in place
to quantify the attainment of
POs.
Criterion 3: COURSE OUTCOMES AND CO should address at least one
PROGRAMOUTCOMES (175) of the POs and also eaSE PO
must be reasonably addressed
by adequate number of COs.

COs are significantly

contributing to attain
professional competence
related POs but not for
transferable skills related
The defined COs must POs..
contribute to the
attainment of POs COs are not significantly
/PSOs contributing to attain both
professional competence
related POs and transferable
skills related POs

Contribution of COs to attain

all the defined POs is poor

Agenda

• Establish the correlation between the courses

and the Program Outcomes (POs) & Program
Specific Outcomes (PSOs)
• Mapping of course outcomes with POs/PSOs
• Attainment of Course Outcomes
• Attainment of Pos/PSOs
 CO- PO Attainment
• Attainment of Outcomes:

• The Program Outcomes (POs) and Program Specific

Outcomes (PSOs) are accomplished through
curriculum
• Course Outcomes (COs) are defined for each course
and they are mapped to POs and PSOs.
• A set of performance evaluation criteria is used for
quantitative assessment of COs
• Thus the attainment of COs provides an evidence of
attainment of POs and PSOs.

CO-PO-Mapping
• Following are the different methods for
Assessment, Evaluation and
Measurement of POs/PSOs 

• Direct Assessment methods

• Indirect Assessment methods
 Direct Assessment methods:
• Continuous Assessment: COs are assessed through
Sessional & Assignment Examinations, Quizzes/
Assignments/ Coursera and Lab records.

• The COs are mapped against each question and

CO analysis is carried out by faculty for each course
and documented in Faculty Course Assessment
Report (FCAR). The contribution of COs are
assessed in  high, moderate and low levels, towards
the attainment of POs/PSOs.
• Semester-end Theory Examinations: The
questions in semester-end examinations
are tested pertaining to all COs, in varying
Blooms Taxonomy Levels.

• Laboratory Records:  Both continuous and

semester-end examinations are
conducted to test the COs attainment.
Indirect Assessment Methods:
• Programme – Exit survey: This survey
taken from the final year  students at the
completion of their B.Tech programme,
stands as the comprehensive feedback for
the PO/PSO assessment
• Alumni Survey : This survey is conducted
annually through Google link or mail with
the Alumni to obtain the inputs and
suggestions on PO attainment in the real
time societal environment

• Employer Survey: This survey is taken

from the employer to measure the PO
attainments.
CO-PO Mapping(Suggested ApproaSE)
• We proposed a methodology for mapping CO
to PO based on key elements of PO

• The methodology is implemented using Excel.

 Attainment of Course Outcomes

• Two types of assessment methods used to

evaluate the COs are
• Direct method
– Continuous Internal Evaluation (CIE)
– Semester End examinations (SEE)
• Indirect method
– Course End survey
Attainment of Course Outcomes-Direct method

• Continuous Internal Evaluation (theory

courses , laboratory courses , Projects and
Seminars, Design Project , Final-year Project
work)
• Semester End Examinations
 Attainment of Course Outcomes-
Indirect method
• Indirect Assessment is carried out using
course end survey. The survey is done online
• Every student is provided with ID and
Password to participate in the survey.
• In general 20% weightage is given for indirect
assessment technique
• Record All CO attainments

Attainment
Attainment level achieved for CO1, CO2 & CO5. But the set targets for CO3 and CO4 is not
achieved. This may be due to new concepts learnt by students on software engineering
process, and more practice classes with case study would have been helpful for many.
Remedial classes based on students’ performance will be planned for next batches.
Attainment of Program Outcomes

• The process of measuring the attainment of SE

programme outcome and programme specific
outcome starts from allocation of a course to
a faculty
link
H:\GITAM-NBA-2019\GITAM-
NBA_Presentations\Tier -I CO Attainment
Attainment of Program Outcomes
• PO attainment for each course is calculated
from CO attainment. The CO attainment is
determined by giving 40 % weightage to CIE,
40 % to SEE & 20 % to course end survey. The
faculty/course coordinator maps the CO’s to
PO’s & PSO’s as substantial, moderate, low or
no mapping. Each CO mapping to a particular
PO/PSO gets the weight according to the
mapping
