Annexure – V

Procedure for Determining the Course Outcome (CO) Attainment

Step 1. Define Course Outcomes for the Course you are teaching
Step 2. Assign COs in every Assessment Tool of the Course
- Internal Assessment (IA) Tools: Minor Test /Mid Semester Test /Assignments /Lab/Quiz Marks
- End Semester Examination (ESE)
Step 3. Obtain CO-wise marks distribution of each Internal Assessment Tool and add them up (Table 1).
TABLE 1
COs CO1 CO2 CO3 CO4 CO5
Step Max Marks 10 10 10 10 10 4.
Assigned
Student 1 8 7 2 4 8
Student 2 9 3 9 8 7
Student 3 7 6 4 8 9
Obtain CO wise marks distribution of End Semester Examination (Table 2)

TABLE 2
COs CO1 CO2 CO3 CO4 CO5
Max Marks 10 10 10 10 10
Assigned
Student 1 7 2 4 8 8
Student 2 3 9 8 7 9
Student 3 6 4 8 9 7

Step 5. Define Targets

➢ Target marks: Average of marks obtained by the students (say target marks for CO1 is 8)

➢ Targets for population:

L3 (e.g. 70%) i.e., 70% or more number of students attain more than target marks
L2 (e.g. 60%) i.e., 60% or more number of students attain more than target marks
L1 (e.g. 50%) i.e., 50% or more number of students attain more than target marks

Step 6. Calculate CO attainment

Total number of student (say 50)

L3 (e.g. 70%) = 50  70% = 35 Students
L2 (e.g. 60%) = 50  60% = 30 Students
L1 (e.g. 50%) = 50  50% = 25 Students
 P a g e | 30

Condition CO Attainment
Level (L)
If 35 or more number of students have attained target marks (e.g. 8 Marks) 3
If 30 or more number of students have attained target marks (e.g. 8 Marks) 2
If 25 or more number of students have attained target marks (e.g. 8 Marks) 1
If less than 25 students have attained target marks (e.g. 8 Marks) 0

Step 7. Calculate Average of CO attainment values of Internal Assessment Tools and End Semester
Examination (Table 3)
Assumption: Weightages of IA and ESE are same (each 50%)

TABLE 3 (Direct CO Attainment)

COs CO1 CO2 CO3 CO4 CO5
IA 3 2 2 1 3
ESE 2 3 3 2 1
Average 2.5 2.5 2.5 1.5 2
(0.5*IA+0.5*ESE)

Step 8. Course Exit Survey (Indirect CO attainment): Get the CO wise Course Exit Survey and map the scores on
a scale of 3 (Table 4)

TABLE 4 (Indirect CO Attainment)

COs CO1 CO2 CO3 CO4 CO5
Course Exit 2.4 2.1 2.3 1.5 2.6
Survey

Step 9. Calculate Overall CO Attainment: (Table 5)

= 0.9* Direct CO Attainment + 0.1* Indirect CO Attainment

TABLE 5 (Overall CO Attainment)

COs CO1 CO2 CO3 CO4 CO5
Overall
Attainment 2.49 2.46 2.48 1.5 2.06

Step 10. Calculate Course Attainment taking average of values tabulated in Table 5 = 2.198
