CURRICULAR ASPECTS
1.1 - Curriculum Design and Development
1.1.1 - Curricula developed and implemented have relevance to the local, national, regional and global
developmental needs which is reflected in Programme outcomes (POs), Programme Specific
Outcomes(PSOs) and Course Outcomes(COs) of the Programmes offered by the University
From 2009 onward SRMIST has started adopting Outcome Based Education
(OBE) for five of its Engineering and Technology (E&T) programs when
they prepared for the accreditation by ABET. In 2013, when
curriculum revision was carried out for programs in E&T, all the
programs implemented OBE. The syllabus itself clearly indicated not
only the Student Outcomes (SO) and Instructional Objectives (IO) but
also the mapping between the two. This has enabled both the students
and faculty members to understand the nuances of OBE. The Lesson
Plan (LP) prepared by the faculty also reflected the same.
The OBE after being implemented for E&T programs was also extended
to programs in Faculty of Science and Humanities and Management.
The programs under Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, also

have OBE, as dictated by the respective Statutory Regulatory
Agencies (SRA).
Following urls have reference to the sampleevidence of

implementation of OBE
