OBE requires 360 degree approach.
Outline of SAR preparation from criteria 1 to criteria 9.
Correlation must be required between program Vision/Mission with Institute
Vision/Mission.
Vision statement should be short term and fulfilled.
Mission is a path to achieve Vision.
Vision and Mission of the program must be created based on SWOT analysis-
STRENGTH, WEAKNESS, OPPORTUNITY & THREAT.
PEO statements must be the outcomes achieved after completing diploma/degree.
PO statements must contain attributes/characteristics of Students. Statements must
follow SMART Strategy- SPECIFIC, MEASUREABLE, ACHIEVABLE, REALITY &
TIMELY.
In CO-PO Mapping, it is not necessary to map all CO with all PO.
OBJECTIVE indicates What Teacher needs to teach and what need to be plan to
teach?
OUTCOME indicates What Students should demonstrate after learning course?
NBA is for Program, not for an Institute.
Eligibility for getting an Accreditation for a Program, 2 batches must be graduated
from a particular Program. Part time programs are not considered for Accreditation.
For two shifts Program, sharing of resources and faculties are considered for
evaluation process.
On NBA portal, in single application maximum 5 Programs can apply for

During Session, Dr. Rayapati Subbarao discussed,
Need of Accreditation.
Purposes will be served through Accreditation.
Impact of Accreditation.
Benefits of Accreditation to the Institute.
NBA always ask for new innovative methods of teaching-learning.
Documents/Evidences are most important for NBA.
NBA is based on SAR of respective department/Program. It is depends on
presentation by all faculty of that particular program.
If Institute is AICTE approved then team will consider the facilities and technical
support available in the Institute.
In Criteria 1, Institute Vision indicate WHAT YOU WANT TO BECOME?(1 statement)
Mission of Institute indicate HOW DO YOU ACHIEVE THE VISION?(3 statement)
Program Vision & Mission also follows guidelines like Institute Vision & Mission.
Program Educational Objective (PEO) indicates WHY STUDENTS JOIN YOUR
PROGRAM?
(3 – 5 Statements)
Institute/Program-Mission statements must be based on Lab Facility, Competent
Faculty and excellent teaching learning environment.
While framing PEO’S, we must include basic & advanced knowledge, Employment in
public/private sector, higher studies, become Entrepreneur, and solve industrial or
societal problems.
PEO’s should be consistent with the mission of the institute.
All stakeholders should participate in the process of framing PEO’S.
Number of PEO’S should be manageable.
PEOs should be based on needs of stakeholders and must be achievable, specific to
the program.
PEOs should not be too narrow and must be different than the Program outcome
(PO).
For mapping level 1 indicates low/indirectly linking, level 2 indicates
moderate/slightly linking and level 3 indicates high/directly linking.
Page | 18
In criteria 2, Teaching learning process is very important.
At start of academic year, faculty meeting must be conducted to set target of Course
Outcome (CO) and Program Outcome (PO).
After class test class committee meeting must be carried out with HOD, Faculty,CR.
For Diploma institute, Quality improve committee meeting is required.
Before the end of semester, faculty meeting must be conducted to discuss problems
related to Student performance or any other issues.
At term end, we need to collect CO based feedback.
PO based feedback must be collected at the end of year by conducting stakeholder
meeting. Stakeholder includes Faculty, Pass-out Students, Alumni,
Employers/Industry and Parents.
We need to perform all academic activities as per Academic calendar.
Two internal class test, 3 assignment- 1 surprise,1 group and 1 take home
assignment must be assigned to Students.
Quality of students project must be measured through application, product,
research, review and industry related.
Class test 1 and Class test 2 must include CO1 & CO2 and CO3 & CO4 respectively

During Session, Dr. Sanjay W. Rajurkar discussed,
Outcome based education i.e. OBE is based on:
1. WHAT THE STUDENTS NEED TO LEARN?
2. WHAT THE STUDENTS SHOULD DEMONSTRATE TO THE WORLD?
NBA is based on Washington Accord- is an agreement made for exchanging the idea.
NBA focusing on the adoption of outcome based education approach for engineering
which is started in 2013 in India.
Reason behind NBA:-
1. Quality assurance
2. Recognition by the stakeholder.
3. Branding
4. Recognition of graduates globally.
5. International mobility i.e Washington accord.
While writing CO’s, we must take care whether mapping of Co’s with PO’s are
possible or not?
NO OBE = NO Accreditation.
Benefits of OBE:-
1. More directed & coherent curriculum.
2. Graduates will be more relevant to Industries and other stakeholders.
Washington accord defines 12 graduate attributes for undergraduate engineering
institute and 7 for diploma institutes.
Program Outcome i.e. PO describes what students are expected to know and be able
to do upon the graduation/ after the graduation.
PO’s must be based on SMART i.e Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and
Time-specific.
Program specific outcome is a subset of Program Outcome. Program specific
outcome is based on the local needs.
Curriculum mapping is done by framing matrix. There is no compulsion that every
course must get mapped with all PO’s.
12 Po’s are categorized in different domain such as:-
1. Cognitive domain-PO1, PO2, PO6, PO7
Page | 22
2. Psychomotor domain- PO3, PO4, PO5
3. Affective domain – PO8, PO9, PO10, PO11, PO12
While writing CO’s, proper verb must be used so that Students can understand
question and particular CO can be achieved. Select verb from BLOOM’S taxonomy.
Direct assessment tools consist of Test, Assignment, Rubric for specific Engineering
problem and Project/design product.
Course wise CO’s can be formed by discussing with domain wise faculty group in
faculty meeting and then finalized CO’s.
For assigning different level of mapping, relate the level of PO with number of hours
devoted to that particular CO’s.
In CO-PO-PSO mapping,
1. No. of hours > 40% of classroom session addressing a particular PO then use level 3.
2. No. of hours 25% to 40% of classroom session addressing a particular PO then use
level 2.
3. No. of hours 5% to 25% of classroom session addressing a particular PO then use
level 1.
4. No. of hours <5% of classroom session addressing a particular PO then use no
mapping.

DAY-4 On 17/12/2020, Session 10 is based on
Criteria 3: Attainment Calculation
This session is conducted by Expert Dr. Sanjay B. Ingole, Associate Professor,
Mechanical Engg. Govt. College of Engg., Chandrapur, Maharashtra.
Dr. Sanjay B. Ingole is an Associate professor in Mechanical Engineering Department at
Government College of Engineering, Chandrapur, Maharashtra, India. Dr. Sanjay Ingole

Journal & presented 10 papers in National & International conferences.
Dr. S.B.Ingole Associate Professor,
Mechanical Engineering Department, Government College of Engineering,
Chandrapur, Maharashtra.
Page | 24
During Session, Dr. Sanjay B. Ingole demonstrate on,
Correlation between Course, PO’s & PSO.
The attainment of course outcome is calculated based on two methods:-
1. Direct Assessment tool
a. Progressive Test
b. Continuous assessment/assignment
c. Seminar
d. Term end exam
2. Indirect Assessment tool
a. Student feedback
b. Course Exit survey
c. Faculty survey
d. Alumni survey
Direct method contributed 80% in attainment calculation.
Indirect method contributed 20% in attainment calculation.
In direct assessment tool, progressive test paper must be designed properly so that
attainment calculation can be easily evaluated.
After assessing answer-book, CO-PO attainment will be calculated for particular
course by framing proper calculation based document.
It is not mandatory to set target as per the guidelines defined in SAR.
We have flexibility to set target of any course depending upon the difficulty level of a
course.
Target can be set based on past three year result/performance of particular course.
We need to give justification to NBA committee regarding the set target.
Attainment level can be defined as :
1. 1 – >50% & <60%
2. 2 – >60% & <70%
3. 3 – >70%
Attainment level can be defined by faculty based on performance of students.
Page | 25
Micro-project attainment also calculated like progressive test attainment but rather
than considering total no. of students, we need to consider only no. of students
assigned for particular CO’s.
For term end exam, attainment is calculated on the basis of final marks given by
Board/University.
For indirect assessment, attainment can be calculated by response received from
survey of all stakeholders.
As per weightage given to direct attainment i.e. 80% and indirect attainment i.e.
20%, final direct and indirect attainment is calculated.
The final attainment is calculated by adding final direct and indirect attainment.
Formula used to get Course PO attainment is –
(Average strength to which the PO is addressed /3) * (Average attainment in
all the associated CO
We need to calculate CO-PO attainment for individual student.

Faculty teaching load for two consecutive semesters is considered for calculation of
SFR.
In SFR calculation, “A” indicate faculty from own department, “B” indicates faculty
from other department engaging load of NBA applying department.
Student faculty ratio i.e. S: F ratio = N/F where,
F = No. of faculty = (a + b) for every assessment year
N=No. of students = Sanctioned Intake + Actually admitted lateral entry students.
Faculty qualification index i.e. FQ = 2* (10X + 7Y) /F where
X is no. of faculty with M.Tech. (in case of humanities and science M.Phil./Ph.D.) Y is no. of faculty with B.Tech. (In case of humanities and science MA/ M.sc)
F is no. of faculty required to comply 1:25 Faculty Student Ratio In faculty participation in faculty development/training activities, Faculty can score
maximum 5 points.
Faculty development program i.e. FDP marks are categorized on number of days of
that FDP such as:
