CO attainment

Step 1: Prepare 3-4 course objectives and 5-6 course outcomes (CO) for every course
Step 2: Prepare course articulation matrix by mapping each CO against POs and PSOs
Map Course outcomes with Program outcomes with rating 3, 2 and 1
1-Low (Slight)
2- Moderate (Medium)
3-High (Substaintial)

Step-3: Assign COs for questions in the question papers (both mid-sem, end-sem and 20M
component)
Step 4: Enter the marks scored by each student for each question as per the mapping of CO.
Step 5: Define the target
Attainment level 1: 50% students scoring equal to or greater than 50 % of allotted marks
Attainment level 2: 60% students scoring equal to or greater than 50 % of allotted marks
Attainment level 3: 70% students scoring equal to or greater than 50 % of allotted marks

(Ref. NBA SAR Tier 2, 2016)

Target % Attainment level

>= 50 % 1
>= 60 % 2
>= 70 % 3

Step 6 : Count the number of students who have scored above the target marks for each
CO
Step 7: Calculate the percentage of students above the target
% of students above target = x 100
Step 8: Based on the student percentage , assign the attainment levels 1,2,3
Step 9: Repeat the same process for Mid-Sem, End-Sem and 20 Marks component
Step 10: CO attainment

*Indirect CO assessment can be done using course end survey.

Course co-ordinator need to ask 10-12 questions about the COs at the end of the course after
every semester
