5. Focus on Outcome based education (OBE): VTU Regulations governing the UG and PG Degrees
are under the Outcome-Based Education and Choice
Based Credit System (CBCS). The institution strictly
follows the guidelines and regulations of the VTU in
the curriculum. The institution adheres to both
National Assessment and Accreditation Council
(NAAC) and National Board of Accreditation (NBA)
norms to prepare the outcome-based education in
PEO’s, PSO’s and Course Outcomes. The key
aspects in Outcome- Based Education (OBE) are the
assessment of course outcomes. OBE tries to bring
changes to the curriculum by dynamically adapting to
the requirements of the different stakeholders like
Students, Parents, Industry Personnel and Recruiters.
Program Outcomes (POs), Course Outcomes (COs),
Program Educational Objectives (PEOs) and Program
Specific Outcomes (PSOs) are the four levels of the
outcomes from OBE. Course Outcomes, Program
Outcomes and Program Specific Outcomes relate to
the knowledge (cognitive), skills (psychomotor), and
behavior (affective) that the student acquires through
the programme. At the initial stage of OBE
implementation, the Course Outcomes (CO’s) for
each course are defined based on the Programme
Outcome (PO’s) and other requirements. At the end
of each course, the COs needs to be assessed and
evaluated, to check whether it has been attained or
not. Assessment is one or more processes, carried out
by the department, that identify, collect, and prepare
data to evaluate the achievement of programme
educational objectives and programme Outcomes.
Attainment is the action or fact of achieving a
standard result towards accomplishment of desired
goals. Primarily attainment is the standard of
academic attainment as observed by Internal
Evaluation or examination result. Attainment of the
COs can be measured directly and indirectly. Direct
attainment basically displays the student’s
knowledge and skills from their performance. It can
be determined from the performance of the students
in all the relevant assessment instruments – like
Continuous Internal Assessments (CIA),
assignments, quiz, mini projects, activities, seminars,
laboratory assessments and Semester End Exam

Page 19/81 01-12-2023 06:22:32


Self Study Report of R.L JALAPPA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY

(SEE). Indirect attainment methods such as course


surveys are conducted which reflect on the student's
learning. They assess opinions or thoughts about the
student’s knowledge or skills.

6. Distance education/online education: As per the NEP Policy, Open and distance learning
will be expanded, thereby playing a significant role in
increasing the Gross Enrolment Ratio to
50%.Measures such as online courses and digital
repositories, funding for research, improved student
services, credit-based recognition of MOOCs, etc.,

2.5 Evaluation Process and Reforms


2.5.1

Mechanism of internal/ external assessment is transparent and the grievance redressal system is
time- bound and efficient

Response:

The institution employs a decentralized internal assessment process, which is supervised by the chief
coordinator, IQAC and department heads. To ensure a smooth administration of the CIE, each
department has its own CIE coordinator who provides necessary support. The schedule for these exams is
announced in the Institute Calendar of Events at the beginning of the semester. The department CIE
coordinators ensure that the test schedule is promptly updated on the notice board.The seating
arrangement for each session is shared and displayed on the department notice board. During the CIE, the
IQAC-selected Invigilators and squad visit the classrooms.

The Principal serves as the Chief Superintendent (CS) for the theory semester end examinations (SEE).
The Principal appoints the internal Deputy Chief Superintendent (DCS), while the University appoints
the external DCS. The CS and DCS are responsible for resolving any issues that may arise during the
SEE process.

Grievance Redressal is Time bound and Efficient:

Complaints brought to the Head of the Department (HoD) are addressed promptly within three days .

The In-charge faculty members evaluate the bluebooks and distribute them to the students during the one

week time after the completion of the CIE and displayed commonly in the notice board.

Under the supervision of the faculty members, the students review their evaluated answers and seek
clarification with the scheme of evaluation for any concerns they may have.The finalized CIE mark is
released within one week after the last working day of the semester, and it is mandatory to submit it to
the university through a designated online website within the specified timeframe.

The university ensures transparency in conducting examinations through the following measures:

i) Prior to the scheduled start time of the State Entrance Examination (SEE), as per the VTU regulations,
all students are required to occupy their allotted seats at least 30 minutes in advance for the distribution
of University Question papers.

ii) The Question Paper Delivery System (QPDS), which is connected to the Principal's Office, initiates
the downloading of the respective question paper in a confidential room to maintain confidentiality.

iii) To oversee the QPDS process, an External Deputy Chief will be appointed from another affiliated
institute.

iv) The University has nominated a team of officials known as the Squad team, who will make surprise
visits to examination centers to ensure that there is no malpractice.

v) As per the Registrar instructions, the answer booklets will be sent to the University regional office.

vi)) The University conducts valuations with the appointed Moderator and Evaluator.

The Principal promptly informs the university upon discovering complaints about the SEE.

In addition, upon receiving prior approval from the University, the institution arranges for scribes to
assist students as required.

The following the announcement of the SEE results, students have the right to request a revaluation and a
copy of their answer sheet.

Any complaint related to the SEE will be brought to the attention of the University, and it is typically
resolved within a timeframe of one to three weeks.

2.6 Student Performance and Learning Outcomes


2.6.1

Page 34/81 01-12-2023 06:22:33


Self Study Report of R.L JALAPPA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY

Programme Outcomes (POs) and Course Outcomes (COs) for all Programmes offered by the
institution are stated and displayed on website

Response:

Our institution employs student-centered outcome-based education (OBE) as a means to effectively


implement the teaching-learning process and provide students from diverse backgrounds with a high-
quality education.

OBE comprises three primary components for continuous quality improvement: Course Outcomes
(COs), Programme Outcomes (POs), and Programme Specific Outcomes (PSOs).

The POs are the statements conveying the intent of a programof study.The statements refers to what a
student should know or be able to do at the end of a program.They used to describe the pofessional
accomplishments which the program aims at and which are attained by the students by the time they
complete the program.

Course out comes are the direct statements which describes the essential and enduring the disciplinary
knowledge,abilities that students should possess and depth of learning that is expected up on completion
of a course.The course out comes are clearly specified and communicated to students.

Program specific outcomes are the specific and well defined skill set requirements and attainments to be
fullfilled by the students at microlevel and by the end of program.

The primary focus lies in the knowledge and skills that students can demonstrate upon completion of the
course. Collaboration between the faculty members and IQAC members is crucial in defining the COs,
which are then reviewed by the Programme Advisory Committee (PAC).

The National Board of Accreditation (NBA) defines POs as statements that outline the knowledge, skills,
and attitudes that graduates should possess. The website of our institution, which is widely recognized as
the primary digital communication tool, serves as a platform for hosting the Course Outlines (COs) and
distributing them to all the students via email and other channels. Furthermore, the COs for each course
can be accessed through Course material file. They are also shared displayed at various places as listed in
the table 2.

2.6.2

Attainment of POs and COs are evaluated.

Explain with evidence in a maximum of 500 words

Response:

Our institution has implemented a robust system to gauge the achievement of COs, POs, and PSOs. The
methods employed for measuring the attainment of these objectives are as follows:

Direct Attainment.
Indirect Attainment.

The achievement of COs is evaluated by considering the students' performance in both Continuous
Internal Evaluation (CIE) and Semester End Examination (SEE). The assessment process for COs
encompasses formative assessment tools such as Continuous Internal Assessment Test and Assignment,
as well as a summative assessment tool, which is the SEE.

Figure 2: Direct CO Attainment Process

Direct CO Attainment:

The CIE comprises assessment tests and assignments, while the Semester End Examination (SEE) is
administered by the affiliating university.

To evaluate the CIE marks, three CIE are conducted and assessed, each carrying a weightage of 30 marks
(2018 scheme), 20 marks (2021 scheme) and 25 marks (2022 scheme) . Additionally, three assignments,
including quizzes/seminars/activities/mini projects are evaluated, with each assignment carrying a
weightage of 10 marks for 2018 scheme, 30 marks for the 2021 scheme and 25 marks for 2022 scheme .
The CIE marks of a student are calculated by summing up the average marks obtained in the CIE and
assignments, up to a maximum of 40 marks for 2018 scheme and 50 marks for 2021 and 2022 scheme.
These marks are used to measure individual Course Outcome (CO) attainment. The benchmarks for CO
attainment in both CIE and SEE are provided in Table 1.

Continuous Internal Evolution> 60% 3
(CIE) 50% to 59% 2
Below 50% 1
Semester End Examination > 60% 3
50% to 59% 2
Below 50% 1
Direct Assessment
1) Internal Assessment
Three Internal assessment tests are conducted. This test is conducted to assess the course outcome
attainment as a continuous assessment.

2) University Exam
This exam will be conducted by the University at the end of each semester. SEE are more focused on
attainment of CO’s and PO’s/PSO’s.

3) Project
Three project reviews will carried out in a semester with help of rubrics. The average of three review will
be awarded as final internal marks for the project. Project viva voce will be carried out at the end of the
semester.

4) Seminar
One Technical Seminar will be carried out in a semester. The marks will be awarded by internal faculty
only based on the rubrics.

Indirect CO Attainment:

The determination of indirect attainment of COs is based on the Course End Survey (CES) conducted for
each respective course and the Program Exit Survey (PES) administered at the conclusion of the
programme. To calculate the overall attainment levels for COs and POs, a 90% weightage is given to
direct attainment and a 10% weightage is given to indirect attainment.

The IQAC will address the attainment of COs , POs , and Program Specific Outcomes (PSOs) to identify
any gaps in the curriculum.

counseling of the students in the allotted Local Guardian hour as per the time table.

7. Notes (Optional) : A detailed policy with a framework document has to be prepared to implement and
continuously monitor the activities. This can be achieved by receiving input from both faculty and
students. A well - defined methodology for feedback analysis is also advisable.
