46. How does the department ensure that programme objectives are constantly met and
learning outcomes are monitored?
In order to ensure the fulfillment of program objective, Department has constituted a
programme assessment committee. The program outcome assessment committee assessed the
program outcomes with the help of course outcomes of the relevant courses through direct and
indirect methods.
Direct measures are provided through direct examinations or observations of student
knowledge or skills against measureable course outcomes.
The knowledge and skills described by the course outcomes are mapped to specific problems on
internal exams/home assignment/group task. Throughout the semester the faculty records the
performance of each student on each course outcome. The sample course assessment is enclosed
in course file and on webkiosk. At the end of the semester, students receive grades from
external exams.
Indirect assessment strategies are implemented by embedding them in the Student Reaction
Survey, Graduate survey, Alumni Survey and Employer survey which is conducted by program
assessment committee in each year.
Finally, program outcomes are assessed with above mentioned data and Program Assessment
Committee concludes the PO attainment level. Also program assessment committee identify the
need for improvement and they prepare an action plan accordingly. Once the action has been
completed, data for that performance indicator should again be collected, analyzed, and
evaluated by the program assessment committee to see the performance. This process continues
until the performance improve to the target value. The results are also discussed with
Department Academic Affairs Committee.
47. Highlight the participation of students and faculty in extension activities.
The faculty of the Department has participated in number of activities which include attending
conferences, seminars, delivering expert lectures, foreign visits at various levels. The details of
