Report on Outcome Based Education (OBE) under NEP-2020 – CO-PO Mapping & Their Attainment Calculation under Autonomous Framework
Date: 14-05-2026 Time:
10.00 am to 2.00 pm
A
One Day Capacity Building Workshop on “Outcome Based Education (OBE) under
NEP-2020 – CO-PO Mapping & Their Attainment Calculation under Autonomous
Framework” was organized by SPACES Degree College (Autonomous) on
May 14, 2026, at 10:00 AM.
The
workshop aimed to enhance faculty understanding of Outcome-Based Education
(OBE), Course Outcomes (COs), Program Outcomes (POs), Program Specific Outcomes
(PSOs), and attainment calculations used in higher education assessment and
accreditation processes.
The
workshop featured expert sessions by distinguished academicians from St.
Joseph’s College for Women (A), Visakhapatnam.
Session
I – POs and PSOs: Their Importance
Speaker:
Dr. P. Rosina George
Dr.
P. Rosina George, Assistant Professor in Zoology, delivered an insightful
lecture on Program Outcomes (POs) and Program Specific Outcomes (PSOs). She
explained their role in curriculum design, academic planning, and quality
enhancement. The speaker highlighted how POs and PSOs help institutions
evaluate the overall development of students in terms of knowledge, skills, and
employability. She also emphasized their importance in accreditation processes
such as NAAC and in maintaining academic standards through measurable learning
outcomes.
Session
II – CO-PO Mapping
Speaker:
Dr. E. Harini
Dr.
E. Harini, Selection Grade Lecturer & Head, Department of Zoology,
explained the concept of Course Outcome (CO) to Program Outcome (PO) Mapping.
She discussed the preparation of CO statements, correlation levels, and the
systematic alignment of course objectives with program outcomes. The session
provided clarity on mapping procedures and demonstrated how effective CO-PO
mapping helps in assessing curriculum effectiveness and student learning
achievements.
Session
III – Attainment Levels and Calculations
Speaker:
Dr. P. Mary Anupama
Dr.
P. Mary Anupama, Head & Assistant Professor, Department of Biochemistry,
delivered a detailed session on attainment levels, their calculations,
importance, and inference. She explained the concepts of direct and indirect
attainment methods, including the use of internal assessments, semester
examinations, assignments, and student feedback. The speaker demonstrated
step-by-step procedures for calculating attainment levels and interpreting the
results for academic improvement.
The
lecture also focused on:
- Weightage distribution in attainment
calculations
- CO attainment analysis
- Interpretation of attainment data
- Importance of attainment in
Outcome-Based Education and accreditation
The
workshop was highly interactive and benefited faculty members by providing
practical understanding of OBE practices, mapping strategies, and attainment
analysis. The participants appreciated the clarity and practical orientation of
the sessions. The program concluded with a vote of thanks to the management,
resource persons, and participants for the successful conduct of the workshop.
