Mapping Matrix of Course M-SOCC-001

Mapping: Mapping is a process of representing the correlation between COs and POs, COs and PSOs in the
scale of 1 to 3 as follows (Table 1):
Table 1: Scale of mapping between COs and POs

Scale
1 If the contents of course have low correlation (i.e. in agreement with the particular PO
to a small extent) with the particular Programme outcome

2 If the contents of course have medium correlation (i.e. in agreement with the particular PO
to a reasonable extent) with the particular Programme outcome

3 If the contents of course have strong correlation (i.e. in agreement with the particular PO
to a large extent) with the particular Programme outcome

Same scale may be used to define the correlation between Cos and PSOs

scale of 1 to 3 as follows (Table 1):
Table 1: Scale of mapping between COs and POs

Scale
1 If the contents of course have low correlation (i.e. in agreement with the particular PO
to a small extent) with the particular Programme outcome

2 If the contents of course have medium correlation (i.e. in agreement with the particular PO
to a reasonable extent) with the particular Programme outcome

3 If the contents of course have strong correlation (i.e. in agreement with the particular PO
to a large extent) with the particular Programme outcome

Same scale may be used to define the correlation between Cos and PSOs

Mapping Matrix of Course M-SOCC-004

Mapping: Mapping is a process of representing the correlation between COs and POs, COs and PSOs in the
scale of 1 to 3 as follows (Table 1):
1: Scale of mapping between COs and POs

Scale
1 If the contents of course have low correlation (i.e. in agreement with the particular PO
to a small extent) with the particular Programme outcome

2 If the contents of course have medium correlation (i.e. in agreement with the particular PO
to a reasonable extent) with the particular Programme outcome

3 If the contents of course have strong correlation (i.e. in agreement with the particular PO
to a large extent) with the particular Programme outcome

Same scale may be used to define the correlation between Cos and PSOs

Mapping Matrix of Course M-SOCE-018

Mapping: Mapping is a process of representing the correlation between COs and POs, COs and PSOs in the
scale of 1 to 3 as follows (Table 1):
Table 1: Scale of mapping between COs and POs

Scale
1 If the contents of course have low correlation (i.e. in agreement with the particular PO
to a small extent) with the particular Programme outcome

2 If the contents of course have medium correlation (i.e. in agreement with the particular PO
to a reasonable extent) with the particular Programme outcome

3 If the contents of course have strong correlation (i.e. in agreement with the particular PO
to a large extent) with the particular Programme outcome

Same scale may be used to define the correlation between Cos and PSOs

Mapping Matrix of Course M-SOCE-021

Mapping: Mapping is a process of representing the correlation between COs and POs, COs and PSOs in the
scale of 1 to 3 as follows (Table 1):
Table 1: Scale of mapping between COs and POs

Scale
1 If the contents of course have low correlation (i.e. in agreement with the particular PO
to a small extent) with the particular Programme outcome

2 If the contents of course have medium correlation (i.e. in agreement with the particular PO
to a reasonable extent) with the particular Programme outcome

3 If the contents of course have strong correlation (i.e. in agreement with the particular PO
to a large extent) with the particular Programme outcome

Same scale may be used to define the correlation between Cos and PSOs

Mapping of Course Outcomes to Programme Outcomes: (CO-PO Mapping Matrix)

Table 2 shows the CO-PO mapping matrix for a course (M-SOCE-021) assuming that there are 12 POs and

Mapping Matrix of Course M-SOCE-026

Mapping: Mapping is a process of representing the correlation between COs and POs, COs and PSOs in the
scale of 1 to 3 as follows (Table 1):
Table 1: Scale of mapping between COs and POs

Scale
1 If the contents of course have low correlation (i.e. in agreement with the particular PO
to a small extent) with the particular Programme outcome

2 If the contents of course have medium correlation (i.e. in agreement with the particular PO
to a reasonable extent) with the particular Programme outcome

3 If the contents of course have strong correlation (i.e. in agreement with the particular PO
to a large extent) with the particular Programme outcome

Same scale may be used to define the correlation between Cos and PSOs

Mapping Matrix of Course M-SOCE-029

Mapping: Mapping is a process of representing the correlation between COs and POs, COs and PSOs in the
scale of 1 to 3 as follows (Table 1):
Table 1: Scale of mapping between COs and POs

Scale
1 If the contents of course have low correlation (i.e. in agreement with the particular PO
to a small extent) with the particular Programme outcome

2 If the contents of course have medium correlation (i.e. in agreement with the particular PO
to a reasonable extent) with the particular Programme outcome

3 If the contents of course have strong correlation (i.e. in agreement with the particular PO
to a large extent) with the particular Programme outcome

Same scale may be used to define the correlation between Cos and PSOs

Mapping of Course Outcomes to Programme Outcomes: (CO-PO Mapping Matrix)

Table 1 shows the CO-PO mapping matrix for a course (M-SOCE-029) assuming that there are 12 POs and

Mapping Matrix of Course M-SOCE-034

Mapping: Mapping is a process of representing the correlation between COs and POs, COs and PSOs in the
scale of 1 to 3 as follows (Table 1):
Table 1: Scale of mapping between COs and POs

Scale
1 If the contents of course have low correlation (i.e. in agreement with the particular PO
to a small extent) with the particular Programme outcome

2 If the contents of course have medium correlation (i.e. in agreement with the particular PO
to a reasonable extent) with the particular Programme outcome

3 If the contents of course have strong correlation (i.e. in agreement with the particular PO
to a large extent) with the particular Programme outcome

Same scale may be used to define the correlation between Cos and PSOs

Attainment of COs:
The attainment of COs can be measured on the basis of the results of internal assessment and semester examination.
The attainment is measured on scale of 3 after setting the target for COs attainment. Following table shows the CO
attainment levels assuming the set target of 60% marks:
CO Attainment Levels for internal assessment
Attainment Level
1
60% of students score more than 60% of marks in class tests of a course.
(low level of attainment)
2
70% of students score more than 60% of marks in class tests of a course.
(Medium level of attainment)
3
80% of students score more than 60% of marks in class tests of a course.
(High level of attainment)

Note: In the above table, the set target is assumed as 60%. It may vary in different departments/institutes. The staff councils of
the Departments/institutes may finalize the set target.
A proper mapping of course outcomes with assessment methods should be defined before measuring the attainment level.
The questions in tests for internal assessment are based on COs. Here it is assumed that class test-I is based on first two
COs (i.e. M-SOC-101.1 and M-SOC -101.2) of a course with equal weightage given to both COs. Similarly, class test-II
is based on next two COs (i.e. B- M-SOC-101.3 and M-SOC -101.4) of a course with equal weightage given to these two
COs. For each internal assessment test, the percentage of students attaining the target level of CO is estimated and average
 80

percentage will decide the attainment level of COs. Following steps may be followed for determining the attainment
level in internal assessment of a course.
(i) Estimate the %age of students scoring set target (say 60%) or more in the question(s) of test -I based on first
CO i.e. M-SOC -101.1.
(ii) Estimate the %age of students scoring set target (60%) or more in the question(s) of test-I based on second
CO i.e. M-SOC -101.2.
(iii) Estimate the %age of students scoring set target (60%) or more in the question(s) of test-II based on third
CO i.e. M-SOC -101.3.
(iv) Estimate the %age of students scoring set target (60%) or more in the question(s) of test-II based on the
fourth CO i.e. M-SOC -101.4.
(v) Take average of the percentages obtained above.
(vi) Determine the attainment level i.e. 3, 2 or 1 as per scale defined in the above table.

Note: In the above steps, it is assumed that internal assessment is based on two tests only. However, if internal
assessment is based on more than two tests and/or on assignments then same may by incorporated to determine
the COs attainment level. There may be more than four COs for a course. The set target may also be different
for different COs. These issues may be resolved by the staff councils of the departments/institutes.

For determining the attainment levels for end semester examination, it is assumed that questions in the end term
examination are based on all COs of the course. Attainment levels for end semester examination of a course can
be determined after the declaration of the results. The CO attainment levels for end semester examination are
given in the following Table.
CO Attainment Levels for End Semester Examination (ESE)
Attainment Level
1 60% of students obtained letter grade of A or above (for CBCS programs) or score more
(Low level of attainment) than 60% of marks (for non-CBCS programs) in ESE of a course.
2 70% of students obtained letter grade of A or above (for CBCS programs) or score more
(Medium level of attainment) than 60% of marks (for non-CBCS programs) in ESE of a course.
3 80% of students obtained letter grade of A or above (for CBCS programs) or score more
(High level of attainment) than 60% of marks (for non-CBCS programs) in ESE of a course.

Note: In the above table, the set target is assumed as grade A for CBCS courses and 60% for non-CBCS Courses.
It may vary in different departments/institutes. The staff councils of the departments/institutes may finalize the set
target.

Overall CO Attainment level of a Course:

The overall CO attainment level of a course can be obtained as:

Overall CO attainment level = 50% of CO attainment level in internal assessment + 50% of CO
attainment level in end semester examination.

The overall COs attainment level can be obtained for all the courses of the programme in a similar manner.

Attainment of POs:
The overall attainment level of POs is based on the values obtained using direct and indirect methods in the ratio
of 80:20. The direct attainment of POs is obtained through the attainment of COs. The overall CO attainment
value as estimated above and CO-PO mapping value as shown in Table 3 are used to compute the attainment of
POs. PO attainment values obtained using direct method can be written as shown in the following Table.

The PO attainment values to be filled in above table can be obtained as follows:

For M-SOC -101-PO1 Cell:
PO1 attainment value = (Mapping factor of M-SOC -101-PO1 from Table 3 × Overall CO attainment value for the
course M-SOC -101)/3
For M-SOC -201-PO1 Cell:
PO1 attainment value = (Mapping factor of M-SOC -201-PO1 from Table 3 × Overall CO attainment value for the
course M-SOC -201)/3
Similarly, values for each cell of the above table can be obtained. The direct attainment of POs is average of
individual PO attainment values.
In order to obtain the PO attainment using indirect method, a student exit survey based on the questionnaire of POs
may be conducted at end of last semester of the program. The format for the same is given in the following table.
Average of the responses from the outgoing students for each PO is estimated. The overall PO attainment values are
obtained by adding attainment values estimated using direct and indirect methods in the proportion of 80:20 as
follows:
Overall attainment value for PO1 =
0.8 × average attainment value for PO1 using direct method (from above table) +
0.2 × average response of outgoing students for PO1
Similarly, overall attainment value can be obtained for each PO.

The overall PO attainment values obtained above are compared with set target. The set target for each PO
may be different and can be finalized by the staff councils of the departments/institutes. If overall PO attainment
value is less than the set target value then an action plan may be prepared for improvement in the subsequent
academic session.
The overall PSO attainment level based on CO-PSO mapping values and overall CO attainment values can
be obtained in a similar manner.
