Abstract

The model of outcome-based education is based on achieving attainments at the end of each course by the students in any undergraduate or postgraduate program. It was implemented in all technical institutions of India as per the guidelines of All India Council for Technical Education, India. The attainments are calculated by deploying some direct and indirect tools. This include courses results, placements, projects and various surveys like alumni, employer etc. The paper discusses the attainment of Program Educational Objectives and Program Outcomes for any undergraduate or postgraduate program. In outcome-based education, certain targets are to be set on the basis of previous year performance of students and these targets are achieved in the form of attainments. In this research, a comparative study of last three batches of a postgraduate course is done in the form of attainments.

Summary

Introduction

The outcome-based education is based on the assessment of students through attainments on the basis of certain defined targets. The assessments are evaluated in form of attainments of Program Educational Objectives (PEO) and Program Outcomes (PO). The PEO and PO of a program are defined in accordance to Vision and Mission of the department and as per twelve National Board of Accreditation (NBA) graduate attributes. The PEO are borderer statements defining the objectives of any undergraduate or postgraduate program. We have to define course outcomes for various surveys like alumni survey, curriculum iJET ‒ Vol 14, No 23, 2019. The target for each course can be set, which has to be attained. The Attained value of Program Educational Objectives and Program Outcomes are calculated. The gaps are fill by redefining targets, revising Course Outcome, conducting remedial classes for the weak students or by giving extra assignments to the students in the same academic year or consecutive year
