Few definitions
Mapping Factor(Correlation Level)
 It indicates to what extent a
certain component(either
assessment method to CO or
CO to PO or PO to PEO & PSO)
 3-indicates Substantial (high)
mapping (high contribution
towards attainment)
 2-indicates Moderate
(medium) mapping (medium
contribution towards
attainment)
 1-indicates Slight (low)
mapping (some contribution
towards attainment)
Level of Attainment:
 This is just discretization of
percent attainment
 To not get confused with
mapping factor, will indicate
this by labels as
 HH(3)- High level of
attainment
 MM(2)- Medium level of
attainment
 LL(1)- Low level of
attainment
 NA(0)- No attainment

This is example for one course, the same to be done for all course of
program including courses taught in first year
1: Slight (Low) 2: Moderate (Medium) 3: Substantial (High) “-” : no correlation
Level of attainment
 Scale of levels can be defined by program coordinator or
Head of department
 Here 3 levels of attainment is taken as 1-Low; 2-medium; 3-
High
 3 levels of attainment can be defined as
 HH(3) :- 70% students scoring more than average marks or set
target marks in an assessment method
 MM(3):- 60% students scoring more than average marks or set
target marks in an assessment method
 LL (1) :- 50% students scoring more than average marks or set
target marks in an assessment method
 NA(0):- Less than 50% students scoring more than average
marks or set target marks in an assessment method
Course Outcome Calculations
 If targets are achieved then all the course outcomes are attained
for that year Program is expected to set higher targets for the
following years as a part of continuous improvement
 Also if scale of 3 levels is used in one year, and if higher level is
attained then scale of 5 levels can be used following year. Scale of
5 level may be defined as follows:
HH(5) :- 80% students scoring more than average marks or set target
marks in an assessment method
HM(4):- 70% students scoring more than average marks or set target
marks in an assessment method
MM (3) :- 60% students scoring more than average marks or set target
marks in an assessment method
ML (2) :- 50% students scoring more than average marks or set target
marks in an assessment method
LL (1) :- 40% students scoring more than average marks or set target
marks in an assessment method
NA(0):- Less than 40% students scoring more than average marks or set
target marks in an assessment method
 If targets are not achieved then instead of lowering target; program
should put in place an action plan to attain the target in
subsequent years
Target Setting for each
assessment method
 For setting up target average; average marks of last
three exam must be taken into consideration and it
should be kept as target average marks
 If average marks of last exams are not available then
current average marks can also be considered as
target attainment
 This would be different for each assessment method
(e.g. Internal assessment: assignment1, assignment2,
class test1, class test2 etc. External assessment: End sem
exam/university exam, Practical external exam)
 To be noted here last three exam should be taken into
account i.e. to say one course may be offered in even
and odd both sem as under CBCS

1: Slight (Low) 2: Moderate (Medium) 3: Substantial (High) “-” : no correlation
Justification of Mapping
 Proper justification for course outcomes with assessment must be
provided.
 For internal assessment like teacher assignment and class test,
one can design the assessment based on Course Outcomes
 For example, Class Test-1 is based on CO1 and CO2 with equal
weightage given to both COs and that is why CO1 & CO2 both
mapped with C1 with mapping factor of 3 (refer previous slide).
Same for Class Test-2(C2) & C3 is done.
 While in practical examination, if you have practical's based on
COs and assessment is available practical-wise then mapping
can be done CO-wise or else equal contribution to all COs can
be considered as done here (mapping factor 3 with all COs)
 Same for end semester/University exam, if questions are based
on COs and also evaluation is available question-wise then COs
to be mapped question-wise or else equal contribution to all
COs can be considered as done here (mapping factor 3 with all
COs)
CO based practical's and
end sem questions (for TIER-I)
 For TIER-I category institutes (Autonomous college and deemed
university), where all exams are taken by institute; they can
have list of practical's designed keeping Course Outcome in
mind. Also evaluation should be done CO-wise.
 Same with End-Sem(term) exam, questions should be so
deigned based to assess Course Outcome
 For example, (considering six CO), Six practical's each
specifically for each CO. Also the internal ERP software can be
so designed where marks for each CO to be inserted and then it
can be converted out of (25/50)
 For end sem too, marks of each CO based question should be
inserted and then total marks can be calculated
 This will really helpful for assessing Course Outcomes when all
marks of COs are available separately
Definition of attainment
 Attainment can be defined as what percentage of students
have above set target marks
 Example, if 140 students appeared in an end semester exam
(60 marks) and you have set target marks as 30 (last three
exam average to be considered while deciding target marks)
THEN attainment can be calculated as:
 % Attainment= (No. of students scoring 30 or above marks /
140)*100
 Let’s say 104 students scored 30 or above marks Then %
attainment would be
 % Attainment= (104/140)*100 =74.28%
 Therefore, level of attainment for end sem exam is “3” as
scale is defined

Analogy to Credit Grade
System
 It is just like the Grading system where we defined cut-off of
marks
 Here cut-off are nothing but the Target level of attainment
which we have defined as
HH(3) :- 70% students scoring more than average marks or set
target marks in an assessment method
MM(3):- 60% students scoring more than average marks or set
target marks in an assessment method
LL (1) :- 50% students scoring more than average marks or set
target marks in an assessment method
NA(0):- Less than 50% students scoring more than average marks
or set target marks in an assessment method
Analogy to Credit Grade
System
 Students who just gets more than cut-off marks pass
the exam but with lower grades
 Same in this method too, even if the level of
attainment is just “1” , we can say that Course
Outcome is attained
 If Level of attainment is less than “1” then Course
Outcome is not attained and then proper Gap
Analysis to be done
 If similar method is used for Outcome calculation of
previous exam then we can set the Target for Level
Attainment or else during mid of term seeing
performance of students in internal component,
Teacher can set target

*Target should be kept based on the performance of students in first and
second Class Test but before term ends, so that Teacher will have sufficient
time to work on delivery (if performance is on lower side)

Program Outcome
Calculation
 For Calculation of Program Outcome, we can use two method:
(i)Direct Method (ii)Indirect Method
 Direct Method: In direct method, we take CO attainment of all
courses contributing to particular Program Outcomes and then
calculate the attainment based on mapping (as per course
articulation matrix)
 Indirect Method: In indirect method, surveys from current passing out
students (program exit survey), survey from employer (during
placement), survey from industry person (if students are working as
intern for some industry) to be taken.
All this survey needs to be quantified [put questions like rate our students
in the scale of 5 (5-excellent, 1-not satisfactory)]
Indirect method too should be based on predefined levels
Example; Level-3: 80% or above survey takers giving 4 or 5 marks
Level-2: 70% or above survey takers giving 4 or 5 marks
Level-1: 60% or above survey takers giving 4 or 5 marks

Few points to remember
 Outcome calculation can not be rigid, that is to say one
can have ‘n’ number of methods to calculate
 Only thing to remember is method should be properly
justified
 Also the method described in this presentation is
completely based on my understanding. I have tried to
addressed all explanation of calculation with proper
justification.
 Also if someone disagrees with the method, I am up for
suggestion but no debate
 For workshop or session on NBA outcome accreditation,
send me e-mail on rravik.tiwari@gmail.com
Consultancy for Software
firm/company
 The software companies who are into education
software business , if wants to develops a software/
web portal for Course Outcome and Program
Outcome Calculation, I can consult for developing
algorithm and method
 Write an e-mail to me(on title slide) for such work.
Thanking You

Course Outcome and Program Outcome Calculation(new method)

  • 1. National Board of Accreditation Course Outcome and Program Outcome Calculations (New method Based on Attainment Level) -By Ravikumar Tiwari, Assistant Professor, G.H.Raisoni College of Engineering, Nagpur e- rravik.tiwari@gmail.com @RaviTiwari90
  • 2. Terminology (Abbreviations) Course Outcomes (CO) Program Outcomes (PO) Program Educational Objectives (PEO) Program Specific Outcomes (PSO)
  • 3. Few definitions Mapping Factor(Correlation Level)  It indicates to what extent a certain component(either assessment method to CO or CO to PO or PO to PEO & PSO)  3-indicates Substantial (high) mapping (high contribution towards attainment)  2-indicates Moderate (medium) mapping (medium contribution towards attainment)  1-indicates Slight (low) mapping (some contribution towards attainment) Level of Attainment:  This is just discretization of percent attainment  To not get confused with mapping factor, will indicate this by labels as  HH(3)- High level of attainment  MM(2)- Medium level of attainment  LL(1)- Low level of attainment  NA(0)- No attainment
  • 4. CO-PO mapping (example) PO 1 PO 2 PO 3 PO 4 PO 5 PO 6 PO 7 PO 8 PO 9 PO 10 PO 11 PO 12 SEM NBA COD E SUB CODE Course COURSE OUTCO MES COURSE OUTCOMES Statement Thir d C203 BEXX2 01 Course name C203.1 . 3 3 2 2 - - 3 3 2 2 1 - C203.2 - - - - - - 3 3 3 2 1 - C203.3 - - - - - - 3 2 2 2 1 - C203.4 - - - - - - 3 2 2 2 1 - C203.5 - - - - - - 2 2 2 2 1 - C203.6 - - - - - - 2 2 2 2 1 - This is example for one course, the same to be done for all course of program including courses taught in first year 1: Slight (Low) 2: Moderate (Medium) 3: Substantial (High) “-” : no correlation
  • 5. Level of attainment  Scale of levels can be defined by program coordinator or Head of department  Here 3 levels of attainment is taken as 1-Low; 2-medium; 3- High  3 levels of attainment can be defined as  HH(3) :- 70% students scoring more than average marks or set target marks in an assessment method  MM(3):- 60% students scoring more than average marks or set target marks in an assessment method  LL (1) :- 50% students scoring more than average marks or set target marks in an assessment method  NA(0):- Less than 50% students scoring more than average marks or set target marks in an assessment method
  • 6. Course Outcome Calculations  If targets are achieved then all the course outcomes are attained for that year Program is expected to set higher targets for the following years as a part of continuous improvement  Also if scale of 3 levels is used in one year, and if higher level is attained then scale of 5 levels can be used following year. Scale of 5 level may be defined as follows: HH(5) :- 80% students scoring more than average marks or set target marks in an assessment method HM(4):- 70% students scoring more than average marks or set target marks in an assessment method MM (3) :- 60% students scoring more than average marks or set target marks in an assessment method ML (2) :- 50% students scoring more than average marks or set target marks in an assessment method LL (1) :- 40% students scoring more than average marks or set target marks in an assessment method NA(0):- Less than 40% students scoring more than average marks or set target marks in an assessment method  If targets are not achieved then instead of lowering target; program should put in place an action plan to attain the target in subsequent years
  • 7. Target Setting for each assessment method  For setting up target average; average marks of last three exam must be taken into consideration and it should be kept as target average marks  If average marks of last exams are not available then current average marks can also be considered as target attainment  This would be different for each assessment method (e.g. Internal assessment: assignment1, assignment2, class test1, class test2 etc. External assessment: End sem exam/university exam, Practical external exam)  To be noted here last three exam should be taken into account i.e. to say one course may be offered in even and odd both sem as under CBCS
  • 8. Mapping of CO with Assessment methods (example) Internal Component External Component Teacher Assignment Class Test Practical examination (if there for the course) End Sem Exam Course Name Course Outcome T1 T2 T3 T4 T5 C1 C2 C3 Course: C301 (Course Name) C301.1 2 - - - - 3 - - 3 3 C301.2 1 - - 2 - 3 - - 3 3 C301.3 - 3 1 - 2 - 3 - 3 3 C301.4 3 - - - 1 - 3 - 3 3 C301.5 - 1 - - - - - 3 3 3 C301.6 - - 3 - 3 - - 3 3 3 1: Slight (Low) 2: Moderate (Medium) 3: Substantial (High) “-” : no correlation
  • 9. Justification of Mapping  Proper justification for course outcomes with assessment must be provided.  For internal assessment like teacher assignment and class test, one can design the assessment based on Course Outcomes  For example, Class Test-1 is based on CO1 and CO2 with equal weightage given to both COs and that is why CO1 & CO2 both mapped with C1 with mapping factor of 3 (refer previous slide). Same for Class Test-2(C2) & C3 is done.  While in practical examination, if you have practical's based on COs and assessment is available practical-wise then mapping can be done CO-wise or else equal contribution to all COs can be considered as done here (mapping factor 3 with all COs)  Same for end semester/University exam, if questions are based on COs and also evaluation is available question-wise then COs to be mapped question-wise or else equal contribution to all COs can be considered as done here (mapping factor 3 with all COs)
  • 10. CO based practical's and end sem questions (for TIER-I)  For TIER-I category institutes (Autonomous college and deemed university), where all exams are taken by institute; they can have list of practical's designed keeping Course Outcome in mind. Also evaluation should be done CO-wise.  Same with End-Sem(term) exam, questions should be so deigned based to assess Course Outcome  For example, (considering six CO), Six practical's each specifically for each CO. Also the internal ERP software can be so designed where marks for each CO to be inserted and then it can be converted out of (25/50)  For end sem too, marks of each CO based question should be inserted and then total marks can be calculated  This will really helpful for assessing Course Outcomes when all marks of COs are available separately
  • 11. Definition of attainment  Attainment can be defined as what percentage of students have above set target marks  Example, if 140 students appeared in an end semester exam (60 marks) and you have set target marks as 30 (last three exam average to be considered while deciding target marks) THEN attainment can be calculated as:  % Attainment= (No. of students scoring 30 or above marks / 140)*100  Let’s say 104 students scored 30 or above marks Then % attainment would be  % Attainment= (104/140)*100 =74.28%  Therefore, level of attainment for end sem exam is “3” as scale is defined
  • 12. Assigning levels to assessment method Teacher Assignment(4) Class Test(20) Pr(25) ESE Marks (60) T1 T2 T3 T4 T5 C1 C2 C3 Practical Average (current exam) 3 4 4 3 4 9.2 11.9 10.5 21 28.0 Target average(avg . of last 3 exam) 4 4 4 4 4 10 9 10 20 25 % Attainment 51 76.1 77.5 55.1 74 51 74.6 61 78 55 Level LL HH HH LL HH LL HH MM HH LL Levels HH(3) :- Above 70% MM(2):- Above 60% LL (1) :- Above 50% NA (0) :- less than 50% **This are actual calculation done for my subject

  • 17. Analogy to Credit Grade System  It is just like the Grading system where we defined cut-off of marks  Here cut-off are nothing but the Target level of attainment which we have defined as HH(3) :- 70% students scoring more than average marks or set target marks in an assessment method MM(3):- 60% students scoring more than average marks or set target marks in an assessment method LL (1) :- 50% students scoring more than average marks or set target marks in an assessment method NA(0):- Less than 50% students scoring more than average marks or set target marks in an assessment method
  • 18. Analogy to Credit Grade System  Students who just gets more than cut-off marks pass the exam but with lower grades  Same in this method too, even if the level of attainment is just “1” , we can say that Course Outcome is attained  If Level of attainment is less than “1” then Course Outcome is not attained and then proper Gap Analysis to be done  If similar method is used for Outcome calculation of previous exam then we can set the Target for Level Attainment or else during mid of term seeing performance of students in internal component, Teacher can set target
  • 19.

  • 23. Program Outcome Calculation  For Calculation of Program Outcome, we can use two method: (i)Direct Method (ii)Indirect Method  Direct Method: In direct method, we take CO attainment of all courses contributing to particular Program Outcomes and then calculate the attainment based on mapping (as per course articulation matrix)  Indirect Method: In indirect method, surveys from current passing out students (program exit survey), survey from employer (during placement), survey from industry person (if students are working as intern for some industry) to be taken. All this survey needs to be quantified [put questions like rate our students in the scale of 5 (5-excellent, 1-not satisfactory)] Indirect method too should be based on predefined levels Example; Level-3: 80% or above survey takers giving 4 or 5 marks Level-2: 70% or above survey takers giving 4 or 5 marks Level-1: 60% or above survey takers giving 4 or 5 marks

  • 30. Few points to remember  Outcome calculation can not be rigid, that is to say one can have ‘n’ number of methods to calculate  Only thing to remember is method should be properly justified  Also the method described in this presentation is completely based on my understanding. I have tried to addressed all explanation of calculation with proper justification.  Also if someone disagrees with the method, I am up for suggestion but no debate  For workshop or session on NBA outcome accreditation, send me e-mail on rravik.tiwari@gmail.com
  • 31. Consultancy for Software firm/company  The software companies who are into education software business , if wants to develops a software/ web portal for Course Outcome and Program Outcome Calculation, I can consult for developing algorithm and method  Write an e-mail to me(on title slide) for such work.
