3.2.1. Describe the assessment processes used to gather the data upon which the evaluation of
Course Outcome is based (10)
The assessment process for the course outcomes relies on several tools that seek feedback
from students, alumni, faculty department advisory board and the student representative committee.
The input is evaluated by the department and proper corrective actions are taken whenever necessary.
The constituents (Faculty, Students, Alumni and Industry) of the department are engaged in
the following manner in the department assessment activities.
Faculty:
Prior to the start of an Under Graduate course, every course instructor is advised to review:
1. The course objectives and outcomes of his/her course in order to familiarize themselves with
the expected outcomes for the course and how these course outcomes related to the Program
outcomes.
2. Past course performance form to identify any points of weakness that may require additional
emphasis.
During the offering of an UG course, every course instructor is asked to:
Save samples of student works on a regular basis (Homework & Exam Solutions, Lab
& Design Reports)
Assess the contribution of the course to its Program Outcomes by evaluating student
performance
Comment on the overall course performance towards meeting its objectives and
outcomes.
Encourage students to participate in the end of the course surveys
Students:
The Department collects feedback from Under Graduate students for each course relating to
student input on course material, course organization and content delivery, the survey assessment for
each course, the main topic that students are expected to have been exposed to during the course.
Students are asked to rate on a scale from poor to excellent, based on their feedback whether they
feel that they had an opportunity to learn the specific course outcomes well. The department also
collects feedback from student representative committee composed of representatives of the ISTE,
SAE, and the student input is then summarized
Alumni Advisory Board consists of 4 representatives from industry and alumni. It meets once
in a year and examines issues related to alumni activities, industry feedback and department
performance in meeting its Educational objectives and Program Outcomes. Since several members of
the Alumni Advisory Board (AAB) are members of industry and hold management positions at
leading companies that hire a good number of our graduating seniors, their input is used by the
department as the link between the department and its industry partners.
Alumni Survey:
The Alumni survey is a comprehensive survey that not only surveys our graduates on the type
of industry in which they are employed, their primary job function and job title but also seeks to
obtain from them the degree to which our program outcomes and objectives are achieved. This
assessment process takes place periodically, the surveys are collected and are processed about every
three years and the results are used to evaluate the achievement of the program objectives.
The surveys asked the participants to rate their level of agreements on a scale of 1 to 5. On
how well prepared our graduates are in regard to the following 11 items listed below.
Employer Survey:
1. The career Development center will conduct the employer survey and the results are to be
transmitted to the Dean and to the HOD. The Dean and the HOD are to review the results and
transmit them to the faculty/staff.
2. If a program related problem is identified as a result of this assessment, then the Dean and the
HOD has to refer the problem to a faculty member or an appropriate committee for a resolution to the
problem.
3. Process/Actions/Recommendations for problem resolution are to be documented and reported to
the Dean and the HOD.
Implementation:
The Department has established a comprehensive assessment process for its Program
Outcomes. The assessment process is meant to ensure that the course Outcomes that are important to
the mission of the department and its Program Education Objectives are being monitored and
measured. The results of the assessment process are regularly applied to the improvement of the
program and the educational experience of our students
3.2.2Record the attainment of Course Outcomes of all courses with respect to set attainment
levels
Measuring Course Outcomes attained through University Examinations:
Two CIA test are conducted each semester for 90 min and one model exam for 3 hours.
Assignments are collected where ever required by the concerned faculty member.
Mini projects are given to students who were split into 3 students per batch. A supervisor is
allotted to each batch. The progress of the projects is monitored through review by a team consisting
of supervisor, project coordinator and 2 senior professors from the department. Finally, based on the
presentation and progress marks are awarded to the concerned students.

3.3.1. Describe assessment tools and processes used for measuring the attainment of each of the
Program Outcomes and Program Specific Outcomes (10)
a) A listing and description of the assessment processes used to gather the data upon which the
evaluation of each the programme educational objective is based. Examples of data collection
processes may include, but are not limited to, specific exam questions, student portfolios, internally
developed assessment exams, senior project presentations, nationally normed exams, oral exams,
focus groups, industrial advisory committee
b) The frequency with which these assessment processes are carried out
The Program Outcomes are assessed and evaluated by direct and indirect assessment methods. Direct
assessment is based on student performance in core curriculum courses which includes theory
subjects, laboratory subjects, mini projects, projects and oral presentations and it is documented in
course files and department files like internal assessment marks register, Results analysis for internals
and university exams. Some program outcomes are assessed by indirect assessment techniques such
as rules and performance criteria for each program outcome are designed.
Faculties handling subjects ask questions in the beginning of each session from the previous class
topics to assess the understanding and continuity of the subjects and it may be based on the two
marks of the covered portion. Two marks booklet is already provided to the students.
Revision:
At the end of each unit, students are orally tested by asking questions from the entire unit and assess
whether they are forwarding towards the attainment of POs. They are also asked to submit their notes
for verification. An hour is dedicated for revision and to provide important questions and question
bank. Assignments and seminars are given to emphasize the important topics.
Assignments:
They serve as practice for students and usually they are given 2 or 3 assignments. They check for
understanding along the way and guide teacher decision making about future instruction; they also
provide feedback to students so they can improve their performance. This makes the student
understand some issues in depth in order to write about them. For this purpose they have to gather
data and think about this data and process it. Finally drawing conclusions from the data they have
gathered. They have to work to meet with academic standards to demonstrate that they are thinking
professionally in their assignments
Seminars:
Assessment of students learning and communications skills are attained through seminars either in
groups or individual.
Examination:
Examination is done to assess students’ performance in order to know what and how to teach next.
Measure the degree to which they have learnt the information and skills being taught in the course or
programme of study. We have used assessments to measure how much our students have learned up
to a particular point in time. Periodical and supplementary tests are conducted for evaluation of the
academic performance of the students to incorporate the students with the ability to continue their
formal education and be accepted to relevant graduate degrees programs and succeed in their studies
Series Test: Series test are conducted by concerned faculty on a weekly basis in order to
evaluate the understanding of the concepts in each unit by the students and the duration of
each test may last to an entire class period. They are organized by the department exam cell
coordinator.
CIA Test & Model Exam: Standardized tests like Internal I, Internal II and Model
Examination are conducted. Fixed in terms of scope, difficulty and format, and are usually
held on fixed dates as determined by the institution and organized by centralized college exam
cell.
Periodically Internal Tests and Model exam are conducted to evaluate the overall performance and toughness
of the subject.
Retest and makeup tests are conducted for absentees due to some important reasons and failures in
order to improve their internal assessment marks.
University examinations
Examinations are conducted by affiliating university for both Theory and laboratory subjects. Grades are
awarded on GPA and CGPA system.
Evaluation Marks

Documentation:
Assessment process is entirely documented in Course files and log books by the concern faculty
handling the course.
In courses that include a high proportion of laboratory work, the most widely used method of
assessing the laboratory content is generally some form of continuous assessment. This has the
advantage of providing an ongoing and stepped overall picture of each students performance and
ability, and of providing the students with regular feedback on how they are progressing. It can be
very time consuming for the staff involved, however, particularly if detailed feedback is given on all
the work submitted. Such assessment can be carried out both for formative and for summative
purposes.
A typical scheme for the continuous assessment of laboratory work is that operated by the Department of
Information Technology. This comprehensive scheme covers all aspects of the students work, involves
standard assessment procedures and the assessment scheme following in our department will be described
in detail, since it illustrates many features of good practice. The student has to work individually in systems.
Sometimes, students below average are made to combine with class toppers for better understanding of the
lab experiments and results.
Additional experiments are included in the lab curriculum for better understanding of the concepts.
There is attendance requirement above 80% for laboratory classes. Absentees from any time table
laboratory session due to unavoidable legitimate reason is given make up lab classes to complete their
exercises. Internal assessment marks for laboratory subjects are given to them based on their
attendance, observation and record submission on time, oral examination and overall performance.
By Project Work, we mean comparatively lengthy and demanding student exercises, such projects can
vary enormously in type, scope, depth and length, in the extent to which their structure is specified by
the Professor of the department, in the extent to which they are based on the real world as opposed to
a simulated situation of some sort, and in whether the students work alone or in groups. The way in
which projects are assessed will clearly depend on all these factors, and also on the extent to which it
is wished to concentrate on the process or product aspects of the work.
Some of the features of good practice that can be identified in this assessment are as follows:
The students are provided with detailed guidelines on what they are expected to do in each project,
and are also made fully aware of the criteria against which their work will be assessed. The
assessment methods are well matched both to the activities that the projects involving creative design
and design related tasks and to the outcomes of the projects.
The assessment is staged, with formative assessment taking place via a series of interim reviews that
provide the students with feedback on their progress, and summative assessment being based on their
performance at formal presentations. Here, they display the final outcomes of their work, give short
oral presentations on what they have done, and answer questions. The results of the assessment of the
individual projects can easily be consolidated in order to provide the students with periodic reviews
of their overall progress and to produce semester marks and grading.
Summative assessment of each students work is based on the way in which they plan and carry out
the project, on the quality of their documentation and report, and on their oral presentation of their
work. Each project is assessed by a staff member, who acts as Project Guide and overall monitored
and peer reviewed by the Head of the Department and Professor of the department acting as a Project
Coordinator. Each of these first, carries out an independent assessment of the project against the
criteria given below:
1.Conduct of project work: Preparatory work, Background reading / Literature review, Input of
ideas / Innovation, Degree of supervision required, attending all the project reviews, Power Point
presentations
50 20 20 10 100
Indirect Assessment Process for evaluating Program Outcomes
Course End survey is taken by the faculty handling the subject at the end of semester for that
particular course about the delivery of course contents, mode of delivery, lecture notes, question
banks, improvement facts etc.
This survey is taken from the final year students who are about to leave the college about the entire
infrastructure facilities of the institution and the college, faculty availability, administrative officials
contacts etc.
Faculty Survey:
Faculty survey is done by the department HOD from the students to study about the staff’s
knowledge, interests, delivery methodologies, and student’s wavelength which will be considered for
the future subject allotments
Employer Survey:
Employers of our graduates are requested for their feedback and suggestions about our graduates
who have been employed in their organizations.
Alumni Survey:
Graduates after completion of course are asked to join the alumni association of our institution.
Every year alumni meet is conducted and they have been given the survey form and asked to fill the
form and give their suggestions. From that assessment, we try to evaluate the program outcomes
attainment level. Our eminent alumnus actively participates in the meet and survey. They also come
forward to guide their juniors who are undergoing courses at our college.
Class committee meeting is held after internal test every month participated by students
representative, department representatives, HOD, Staffs handling the subjects of that class and a chair
person from other department. Feedback, grievances and suggestions about facilities, staff teaching
learning process and campus amenities are recorded in the minutes and forwarded to the principal
through HOD for further actions.
