To calculate the attainment of the Course outcomes (CO’s), Program Outcomes (PO’s) and Program Specific Outcomes (PSO’s), we use the following methodology:

All the courses are basically required to have the course outcomes, program outcomes and program-specific outcomes defined and approved under the Board of studies and Academic council. Once this process is over, the respective head of the departments along with the course faculty deliberate and arrive at a conclusion of mapping the weightage of CO’s against PO’s and PSO’s. This is a standard practice been developed and used till date.

The calculation of the CO, PO and PSO attainment is done considering the course-specific direct and indirect weightage based on the Internal Assessment Weightage [Max. Marks] and External Assessment Weightage (Semester End Examination) [Max. Marks].

The overall attainment is considered as follows:

Every CO attainment is calculated using three components: T1, T2 & T3

T1: Percentage of Number of classes responsible for respective CO

Further, using the above components T1, T2 & T3 along with direct and indirect weightage the overall CO attainment is calculated using the following formulae:

Direct and Indirect weightage:

M.Com

        70%

MBA

        50%

In furtherance, based on the CO-PO-PSO mapping by the respective departments the CO attained values are multiplied with the values from the CO-PO-PSO mapping table and divided by 3 (which is the maximum score).

After all the values are calculated, the percentage of every PO and PSO is calculated, and the final scores are used as defined in the table below:
