Complete Outcome-Based Education system integration. Defining Course Outcomes (CO), program mapping (PO & PSO), indirect/direct attainment spreadsheets, and continuous improvement tracking matching NBA & NAAC standards.
Outcome Based Education (OBE) shifts the educational focus from teaching input to measurable student learning output (what the student actually achieves).
TESS implements systematic OBE tracking: organizing Bloom's Taxonomy-based question paper design, structuring PO/PSO templates, designing indirect graduate survey cards, and calculating course attainment averages.
Our solutions provide clean, auditable Excel datasets, simplifying the preparation of Self-Assessment Reports (SAR) for NBA inspections.
Details on calculating direct vs. indirect outcome attainment metrics for NBA compliance.
| Attainment Component | Evaluation Inputs | Standard Weightage | TESS Direct Tools |
|---|---|---|---|
| Direct Attainment (Internal) | Sessional tests, assignments, continuous lab checks | 20% of Direct Score | Internal mark mapping sheets matching Bloom's Taxonomy |
| Direct Attainment (External) | University final semester examination grades | 80% of Direct Score | University grade extraction templates and converters |
| Indirect Attainment | Graduate exit feedback, employer surveys, alumni registry | 20% of Overall Score | Online feedback cards and survey analysis dashboards |
| Overall CO-PO Score | Direct Attainment (80%) + Indirect Attainment (20%) | 100% Attainment Profile | Automated Excel spreadsheets mapping multi-course scores |
A step-by-step roadmap from initial diagnostic report to final grading outcomes.
Drafting precise Course Outcomes (COs) for every department program, matching Bloom's cognitive levels.
Mapping CO-PO-PSO correlation grids on a 1-to-3 scale (Low, Medium, High mapping strength).
Configuring internal examination mark templates to link student answers directly to designated CO targets.
Calculating overall attainment scores, identifying low-attaining courses, and drafting remedial actions.
Bloom's Taxonomy divides cognitive learning into 6 levels: Remember (L1), Understand (L2), Apply (L3), Analyze (L4), Evaluate (L5), and Create (L6). Question papers must distribute marks across these levels based on Course Outcomes. TESS designs question bank structures mapping to L1-L6.
If PO attainment fails to reach targets, the department must record an action taken report detailing improvements — such as introducing remedial classes, extra tutorial hours, or guest lectures. TESS structures these continuous improvement plans to satisfy NBA inspectors.
While dedicated LMS/ERP software can streamline OBE, clean Excel tracking sheets with pre-configured lookup macros are fully acceptable for accreditation. TESS provides high-performance Excel calculators that eliminate the need for expensive software licenses.
