LEARNING OUTCOMES

Programme Outcomes (POs) &

Course Outcomes (Cos) of the Institution - View / Download

The college states its missions, objectives and courses offered in the college prospectus and college website. The institute has taken several measures to create awareness to the students regarding the programme and course outcomes

        i.        Students are given a basic overview of the courses provided by the institution at the start of each semester. Each department is responsible for conveying the overall concept of the subjects chosen by the students as well as the subject's professional possibilities. The subject-specific orientation programmes organised by departments highlight programme outcomes, course results, and programme specific outcomes.

       ii.       Teachers are encouraged to explain the program-specific outcomes and course outcomes before the commencement of regular classes so as to motivate students in their learning. Help desks are made available for students at the time of admission. Applicants are made aware of the programs offered by the institute.

     iii.        The programme and course outcomes are stated clearly in the Lesson Plan, a copy of which are distributed to the students at the beginning of the course. One-on-one Session or Mentoring is another mechanism used by the institute to make students aware of program and course outcomes even during the semester and as required by the student. Each mentor is responsible for providing awareness to the mentees regarding the course outcomes offered by the institute.

     iv.        Student Handbook are provided to the students which highlights not only the guidelines of conduct but also the programmes and courses and what to expect from the course, outlining the outcomes of various courses offered in the institution.

       v.     Every year, Parents-Teachers’ Meetings are arranged to raise awareness among parents about the courses and their consequences. Every year, the institute's courses, assessment system, and University guidelines are discussed to parents and clarifications are achieved through interactive sessions in which oral input is gathered.

Apart from the above-mentioned methods, different departments organise career guidance seminar, during the pandemic, for students to help and guide their Personality development Courses regarding higher learning and career options.

ATTAINMENT OF THE POS AND COS ARE EVALUATED BY THE INSTITUTION.

The Programme Outcomes (POs) and Course Outcomes (Cos) are evaluated through the following methods:

1. Continuous Assessment: As mandated by the affiliated University, CA-1 and CA-2 are held twice every semester which constitute 25 percent mark out of the total 100 marks stipulated for every paper by the University.  

The institution relies on CIA (Continuous Internal Assessment) and End-of-Semester University Examinations for summative evaluations. The former contributes 25% of the final result, whereas the latter contributes 75%. For Practical courses and English courses, Viva Voce and Oral Examinations are also held.

2. Feedback system:

(a)    Feedbacks are collected from the student on teachers’ performances and on the curriculum every semester

(b)   Feedbacks are also collected from the teachers on the curriculum

3. Proficiency Award: Awards are given to graduating students to encourage and recognise their achievements.

4. Alumni / follow up: Each department keep track of all their respective graduates maintaining their profile which reflects their achievements after having finish their courses and or programs; such as Higher studies, Job Placement and self-employment.

However, the quality of the Alumni being a key measure of course/program results and the degree of teaching-learning in the institution.  It does not mean only the grades and employment our students receive, but also the values and life skills we teach in them.

5. Mentor-Mentee System is also used as method of evaluation by teachers of each departments assessing the student’s progression of students, keeping and maintaining their respective mentee records and assessing their performances. Depending on their evaluation guidance for improvement, if deemed required, are given by the teachers as mentors based on their results.

6. Programme Exit Survey reports: Program Exit Survey in the form of questionnaire has been conducted for outgoing students to assess the degree of the attainment of the course and programme outcomes.

The affiliating university has also taken steps to introduce the Learning Outcome Based Curriculum Framework which is a system based on measured outcomes. If implemented, the system will improve the learning capacity of students and enhance their employability.
