Training Document For Teachers: How CO Attainment Is Calculated?

To calculate CO attainment: 1. Map questions to COs 2. Determine class strength, max marks, and passing threshold (e.g. 60% of marks) 3. Calculate percentage of students who passed threshold for each CO 4. CO attainment levels are low (0-30%), medium (30-60%), high (60-100%) PO attainment is calculated based on CO attainment levels and affinity of POs to COs. Weighted averages are used to determine final PO attainment levels.

CO attainment = 54%

To calculate CO attainment, we need to know following:

1. What is the CO mapping to a question? = CO1


2. What is the class strength? = 80 students
3. What is the Max Marks of the questions = 10
4. What is the students’ performance threshold? – 60% or 6 marks out of 10 marks
5. What is individual students’ grade for the question?

CO 1’s attainment in above case is 54% because, 43 students are equal or above 6
marks, therefore CO1 attainment = 43 / 80 * 100 = 54%

Likewise, if you calculate % attainment of all the questions in all assignments of your course,
which are mapped to CO1, and for example, you got overall 65% CO attainment for CO1.
For CO1, however, your institute might have set “Target % Attainment” as 55% and
your overall CO 1 attainment is 65%, therefore, your CO1 is said to be Attained.
What is Level of Attainment?
Level of attainment is derived by finding out in which bucket the overall CO attainment falls.
NBA has suggested 3 levels of attainment – 1, 2 and 3, which corresponds to Low, Medium
and High in a way.

You can define the buckets for CO attainment as shown below:

Level of Attainment for CO1

Levels 0 1 2 3

% CO attainment 0 0 to 30% 30 to 60% 60 to 100%

rd
Since your CO1 has attained 65% attainment, it falls in 3 bucket and hence, CO1’s level
of attainment is 3 from direct assessments.

Likewise, you can calculate CO attainment and level of attainment for all COs of your
course. So, finally, you may come up with numbers like this:

CO Attainment % Level of Attainment


CO 1 65% 3
CO 2 76% 3
CO 3 55% 2
CO 4 59% 2
CO 5 29% 1

CO Attainment for Indirect Assessments:


For indirect assessments, we use formula of ratings for each Option of the Survey question.
Then the CO attainment is calculated for each question (which is mapped to a CO), by using
the formula as:

Total count of students in a class = CSC


Count of students who chose an option = CSCO
**Rating of question = Option 1 = 5, Option 2 = 4, Option 3 = 3, Option 4 = 2, Option 5 = 1

Thus, % CO attainment = [(CSCO x 5) + (CSCO x 4) + (CSCO x 3) + (CSCO x 2) + (CSCO x 1)] /


CSC x 5
Weightage for Direct and Indirect Assessments
Program Head may want to decide what should be the weightage for Direct and Indirect
assessments. Inpods allows it to be set as below:

PO Attainment Calculation
We now know how have we arrived at following table. This table shows “Level of Attainment”.
This Level of Attainment is passed onto the POs which are affiliated to the COs.

CO Attainment % Level of Attainment


CO 1 65% 3
CO 2 76% 3
CO 3 55% 2
CO 4 59% 2
CO 5 29% 1

PO Attainment:
If we draw a chart of COs, its affiliated POs and the level of Affinity and the Level of
Attainment, then it will look like this:

POs Level of Affinity PO Attainment


(Taken from Level of
COs
Attainment from the table
shown above)
Civil_PO1 Substantial 3
Civil-DDSS-CO1
Civil_PSO1 Moderate 3
Civil-DDSS-CO2 Civil_PO1 Substantial 3
Civil_PO2 Moderate 3
Civil_PSO2 Moderate 3
Civil-DDSS-CO3 Civil_PO4 Slight 2
Civil_PSO3 Substantial 2
Civil-DDSS-CO4 Civil_PO5 Substantial 2
Civil-DDSS-CO5 Civil_PO6 Moderate 1
Civil_PO7 Slight 1
Therefore, the PO attainment will be finally like this:

PO1 PO2 PO3 PO4 PO5 ……. PO12 PSO1 PSO2 PSO3
Civil-DDSS- 3 3
CO1
Civil-DDSS- 3 3 3
