Preamble
The world has advanced considerably throughout the decades and the need for higher education
has been on the rise. The role of higher education in social and spatial mobility has attracted
considerable attention. It provides opportunities for lifelong learning, allowing people to upgrade their
knowledge and skills from time to time based in societal needs.
Over the past decades the higher education system of our country has undergone substantial
structural and functional changes resulting in both quantitative and qualitative development of the
beneficiaries. Such changes have gained momentum with the introduction of Choice Based Credit
System (CBCS) which further expects learning outcome-based curriculum in order to maximize the
benefits of the newly designed curriculum. The learning outcome-based curriculum will definitely help
the teachers of the discipline to visualize the curriculum more specifically in terms of the learning
outcomes expected from the students at the end of the instructional process. It is pertinent to mention
here that the purpose of education is to develop an integrated personality of the individual and the
educational system provides all knowledge and skills to the learner for this.
Tamil Nadu State Council for Higher Education (TANSCHE) has formed the State Integrated
Boards of Studies, which, with great diligence and expertise has devised the mandatory areas that have
to be covered for three-year undergraduation and two-year postgraduation courses to realize the
facilitation of the mobility of faculty and students from one university to another and to easily solve
the problem of equivalence among courses. Great care has been taken so that these areas would take
75% of the course content and the remaining 25% can be decided by the individual institutions. The
areas that must be covered by the student that are mandatory for earning the degree to have due value
has been worked out so that the student will gain enough depth of knowledge in the subject concerned.
25% percent of the syllabus should be designed by the institutions, and the areas covered under this
also must have a weightage of 25%. This gives the autonomous institution seamless liberty on every
Board of Studies (BOS) to innovate and experiment, and more importantly, it is here that the institution
devises appropriate strategies by which (i) to make creative and critical applications of what has been
learnt in the mandatory components, and (ii) to meaningfully connect the learners to the career
demands and expectations. It is essential that the theoretical subject knowledge of the students must
be translated in to practical hands-on experience.
One of the significant reforms in the undergraduate education is to introduce the Learning
Outcomes-based Curriculum Framework (LOCF) which makes it student-centric, interactive and
3
outcome-oriented with well-defined aims, objectives and goals to achieve. LOCF also aims at ensuring
uniform education standard and content delivery across the country which will help the students to
ensure similar quality of education irrespective of the institute and location. With initiatives of
University Grants Commission (UGC) for nation-wide adoption and implementation of the LOCF for
bachelor’s programmes in colleges, universities and HEIs in general. A Core Expert Committee (CEC)
was constituted to formulate the modalities for developing the LOCF in various subjects being taught
in the undergraduate courses in sciences, humanities, commerce and professional courses. The CEC
also constituted the Subject Expert Committees (SEC) in various subjects to prepare detailed
guidelines for the LOCF in subjects concerned.
The key components of the planning and development of LOCF are given in terms of clear and
unambiguous description of the Graduate Attributes (GA), Qualification Descriptors (QD), Program
Learning Outcomes (PLO) and Course Learning Outcomes (CLO) to be achieved at the end of the
successful completion of each undergraduate program to be offered by HEIs. In undergraduate
education in Information Technology, the programme of study leading to the degree of B.Sc. in
Information Technology is discussed herewith.
The Qualification Descriptors (QD), Program Learning Outcomes (PLO) and the Course
Learning Outcomes (CLO) were also finalized keeping the broad requirement of the programme in
view. The LOCF also gives general guidelines for the Teaching Learning Process (TLP) corresponding
to each component of theory, experiment, tutorials, projects and industrial / field visits to be followed
in order to achieve the stated outcomes for each component. Finally, some suggestions for using
various methods in the assessment and evaluation of learning levels of students are also made. It is a
student centric framework where they are expected to learn fundamentals of Information Technology
along with the latest trends and techniques like Artificial Intelligence, Internet of Things, Machine
Intelligence along with advanced skillsets that include Mobile Application Development, Object
Oriented Programming among many other courses.

1. Introduction
Outcome based education empowers students to choose their desired subject. Focusing on results
outcome-based education (OBE) generates a transparent expectation of the top results. Teachers can
structure their classes according to the student’s wishes by reading transparently what needs to be
done.
The learning outcome-based curriculum framework in Physics should also allow for the
flexibility and innovation in the program design of the UG education, and its syllabi development,
teaching learning process and the assessment procedures of the learning outcomes. The process
of learningis defined by the following steps which should form the basis of final assessment of
the achievement at the end of the program.
The accumulation of facts of nature and the ability to link the facts to observe and discover
the laws of nature i.e., develop an understanding and knowledge of the Physics.
The ability to use this knowledge to analyze new situations and learn skills and tools like
mathematics, engineering and technology to find the solution, interpret the results and make
predictions for the future developments.
The ability to synthesize the acquired knowledge, understanding and experience for a
better and improved comprehension of the physical problems in nature and to create new
skills and tools for their possible solutions.
The conceptualization and formulation of the learning outcomes for an postgraduate program in
Physics is aimed to achieve (i) and (ii) above while the (iii) could be planned for research
programs in Physics in the Higher Education Institutions in India.

The core courses shall be spread all the semesters of the program.
1.2.1 Elective courses
The elective courses can be chosen from a pool of papers. These courses are intended to
allow the student to specialise in one or more branches of the broad subject area;
help the student to acquire knowledge and skills in a related area that may have applications in
the broad subject area;
help the student to bridge any gap in the curriculum and enable acquisition of essential skills,
for example, statistical, computational, language, communication skills etc.
help the student to pursue area of interest
The student may also choose additional elective courses offered by the college to enable him
/her to acquire extra credits from the discipline or across the discipline
1.3.1 Project work
A course (core/elective/self-study/skill based) may take the form of a project work.
The PG programs in Physics builds on the UG Physics taught at the Colleges in the country.
The curricula and syllabi should be framed and implemented in such a way that the basic
connection between theory and experiment and its importance in understanding Physics should
be apparent to the student. This is very critical in developing a scientific temperament and urge
to innovate, create and discover in Physics. The Postgraduate program in Physics is presently
being offered though the course designed for granting the following degree by various colleges
and universities in India. The course is of TWO YEAR duration spread over FOUR semesters
after the DEGREE level Physics course:
The aims and objectives of our PG educational programs in sciences in general and Physics

7. Teaching Learning Methodologies
The learning outcomes-based course curriculum framework of Chemistry is designed
to persuade the subject specific knowledge as well as relevant understanding of the course. The
academic and professional skills required for Physics-based professions and jobs are also
offered by same course in an extraordinary way. In addition, the learning experiences gained
from this course should be designed and implemented for cognitive development in every
student. The practical associated with this course helps to develop an important aspect of the
teaching-learning process. Various types of teaching and learning processes will need to be
adopted to achieve the same. The important relevant teaching and learning processes involved
in this course are;
a. Class lectures
b. Seminars
c. Tutorials
d. Group discussions and Workshops
e. Peer teaching and learning
f. Question preparation
g. Subjective type
h. Long answer
i. Short answer
j. Objective type
l. Field-based learning
o. Games
p. Technology-enabled learning
73
q. Internship in industry, and research establishments.
The effective teaching strategies will also need to be adopted to develop problem-
solving skills, higher-order skills of reasoning and analysis. The designed course also
encourages fostering the social values/responsibility for maintaining and protecting the
surrounding nvironment for improved living conditions. A learner centric and active
participatory pedagogy shall be introduced in this framework.
8. Assessment Methods
Academic performance in various courses i.e. core, discipline electives, generic
electives and skill enhancement courses are to be considered as parameters for assessing the
achievement of students in Chemistry. A number of appropriate assessment methods of
Chemistry will be used to determine the extent to which students demonstrate desired learning
outcomes. Following assessment methodology should be adopted;
The oral and written examinations (Scheduled and surprise tests),
Closed-book and open-book tests,
Problem-solving exercises,
Practical assignments and laboratory reports,
Observation of practical skills,
Individual and group project reports,
Efficient delivery using seminar presentations,
Viva voce interviews are majorly adopted assessment methods for this curriculum.
The computerized adaptive testing, literature surveys and evaluations, peers and self-
assessment, outputs form individual and collaborators.
