LEARNING OUTCOME
As per the goal of the University, each course is set with a clearly defined objective and each aim to impart a specific knowledge base or skill set to the learners. The Departments take great care in designing their specific syllabus for the specific course and blend the traditional with the modern in their approaches. While the general aim is to equip the learners with employability skills and analytical prowess, each specific course is designed with specific outcomes in mind. These outcomes are assessed through traditional systems of examination and through interactions and academic programmes of different kinds. The departments ensure that the courses allow the students to develop skills in comprehension of their subjects, create a proper knowledge base, have the power to synthesize and integrate the knowlege received into demands made in application, and face any and all challenges. The examination system is designed in such a way that the learners can demonstrate what they have learnt and how far they can utilize the learning in their professional lives.
ATTAINING OF PROGRAMME OUTCOMES
The traditional examination systems are employed in measuring the POs, PSOs and COs. Different Departments follow differnet methods. Some focus on pen and paper tests along with verbal testing within the classroom. Some focus on Practical and Laboratory-based Examinations to assess and evaluate.
Certain Departments use academic programmes, such as Student Seminars, and Student Papers to measured by the Programme Outcomes. While Course Outcomes are quite efficiently measured by the examination system, Programme specific Outcomes are quite efficiently measured by the examination system, Programme Specific Outcomes often are reflected in the further progression of the individual learner. The Departments actively encourage the students to perform within and outside the classroom, and the institution, in order to allow the learner to self-assess the skills required to survive in the professional world. In many departments engagement in acedemic life takes the shape of presentations by students who are selected through a rigorous system. As the entire goal of the University is to develop skills and impart knowledge, such Department measurements are vital to the entire structure.
150 years of excellence.
