Mechanism of Evaluation of attainment of POs and COs

The college is affiliated to Shivaji University, Kolhapur. It has evaluated attainment of programme outcomes, programme specific outcomes and course outcomes.

The college, offered Under Graduate as well as some Post Graduate programs under the Faculty of Arts, Commerce and Science and some professional courses. The programmes were taught based on syllabus developed by the university in accordance outcomes. The results are assessed by the college in accordance with the outcomes and are communicated to students in class.

Measurement of POs, PSOs and COs has shown that the strength of students and passing percentage of students are gradually increasing. Furthermore, the progression of students from Under Graduate to Post Graduate appears to be increasing steady over the past five years.

Similarly, the ratio of students’ placement is increasing. The college paid close attention to measuring the attainment of PO, PSO and CO and followed both direct and indirect mechanisms for measuring the attainment of outcomes. The online student feedback includes information on course relevance, course material availability and course relevance to employability. It is also considered to take the necessary steps to improve attainment level. For measuring the attainment of the POs, PSOs & COs and its implementation, the college followed the following mechanism:

• The college adhered to the Academic Calendar of our affiliated Shivaji University, Kolhapur.
• All the subject teachers prepared Semester Wise evaluation Reports.
• The Examination Committee analyses evaluation reports of results.
• The Placement committee reviewed the students’ progression to higher education and their placement.

Procedure for attaining POs, COs, and PSOs

1. Procedure for attainment of COs:

       Attainment of Course outcomes will be evaluated by direct and indirect methods.

Direct method (Attainment) We will consider the following criteria in the direct attainment.

1. Internal tests will be conducted based on COs.
2. Class performance activities like assignments, tutorials, quiz, any other activities related to COs will be conducted.
3. End semester external examination marks will be considered.

Indirect method (Attainment)

   I] In this method we consider feedback from students, parents, alumni on the preframed  questionnaires.

II] A common format of programmed excel sheet will be used for finding the attainment of COs.

III] The following level table will be used for three target levels, low, medium and high  attainment for direct and indirect method

IV] Target level for attainment of COs will be decide on the average marks of that course in the previous year.

V] Attainment level calculation for each CO = 80 % of direct level +20 % of indirect level of that CO.

VI] Attainment level of all course outcomes of a course will be displayed in table format.

CO Attainment- (I) Direct method→ Internal assessment [A] & External assessment [B]→ % of students secure more than average marks in [A]→% of students secure more than average marks in [B]= (A+B/2) → Direct average percentage → Direct level value. [A^I]

CO Attainment- (II) Indirect method: Indirect percentage of students more than average grading→ Indirect level value [B^I] Final Attainment value = 80% of A^I + 20% of B^I

II CO-PO mapping

Each course outcome will be mapped to one or more POs depending on the action verb appeared in it.

III Procedure for attainment of POs / PSOs

3.1] Program outcomes will be attained through direct and indirect methods.

Direct Attainment: -We will consider all the courses which are mapped to particular PO. Then direct attainment value will be calculated based on following formula.

Direct PO attainment: - (Sum of average attainment level of course outcomes mapped to PO)/ (total no of courses).

Indirect Attainment: - In this method we consider feedbacks of students, parents, alumni on the pre designed questionnaires.

3.2] Final PO attainment = 80% of direct attainment + 20% of indirect attainment.

3.3] TABLE:

3.4] Target levels for attainment of POs / PSOs will be set based on the performance of the previous year.

3.5] Same procedure will be used for obtaining the attainment of PSOs.
