The document discusses the calculation of course outcome (CO) attainment levels for a university. It defines the levels from 0 to 3 based on pass percentage ranges and explains how to calculate the cumulative average CO attainment score. Sample data is provided to demonstrate how internal marks, university marks, and the running average are used to determine if the target CO attainment was achieved or if remedial measures are needed.

2. Calculating CO Attainment Levels for KTU
Base Marks is taken at 50%
For pass percentage: 0% to 60%, level = 0
For pass percentage: 60% to 70%, level = 1
For pass percentage: 70% to 80%, level = 2
For pass percentage: 80% to 100%, level = 3

3. CO Attainment - Sample Course CS-208
1 There are six course outcomes for CS-208 (...assuming)
2 Attainment : Outcome level (marks for CO) (...assuming)
CS-208 CO1 CO2 CO3 CO4 CO5 CO6
Int Exam (50) 1.8(12) 2(7) 1(6) 2(6) 3(11) 2(8)
Univ (100) 2(15) 2(15) 2(15) 2(15) 2(20) 2(20)
Attainment 1.9(27) 2(22) 1.7(21) 2(21) 2.3(31) 2(28)
CO Attainment for CS-208 = 2.0 (Cumulative Average)

4. CO Attainment - Calculations based on assumptions
1 Internal Marks: CO attainment levels, marks are assumed
2 Univ Results: 75% students scoring above base marks
3 Univ Results: Marks for each CO given in syllabus.
CS-208 CO1 CO2 CO3 CO4 CO5 CO6
Int Exam (50) 1.8(12) 2(7) 1(6) 2(6) 3(11) 2(8)
Univ (100) 2(15) 2(15) 2(15) 2(15) 2(20) 2(20)
Attainment 1.9(27) 2(22) 1.7(21) 2(21) 2.3(31) 2(28)
CO Attainment = 2.0 (Cumulative Average)

5. CO Attainment - Detailed break-up
Break-up for Internal Marks
CS-208 CO1 CO2 CO3 CO4 CO5 CO6
Assign-1 (05) 3(5)
Int Test-1 (20) 1(7) 2(7) 1(6)
1 Assignment-1 was for 5 marks.
2 Over 80% of students scored more than base marks.
3 Int Test-1 was for 20 marks.
4 Int Test-1: CO1 (7 marks), CO2 (7 marks), CO3 (6 marks).
5 Levels based on percentage above base marks.

6. CO Attainment - Final
CS-208 CO1 CO2 CO3 CO4 CO5 CO6
Assign-1 (05) 3(5)
Int Test-1 (20) 1(7) 2(7) 1(6)
Assign-2 (05) 3(5)
Int Test-2 (20) 2(6) 3(6) 2(8)
Int Exam (50) 1.8(12) 2(7) 1(6) 2(6) 3(11) 2(8)
Univ (100) 2(15) 2(15) 2(15) 2(15) 2(20) 2(20)
Attainment 1.9(27) 2(22) 1.7(21) 2(21) 2.3(31) 2(28)
CO Attainment = 2.0 (Cumulative Average)

7. CO Attainment - Running Average for last three years
1 Target attainment is running average of previous years
2 Assume CO attainment of last three years to be 1.9
3 Target CO Attainment = 1.9
4 Current CO Attainment = 2.0
5 CO deemed to have attained target (running average).

8. CO Attainment - Remedial
If current CO attainment level falls short of running target...
1 Remedial measures need to be initiated on affected COs
2 Feedback taken from students on remedial measures
3 Closure report recorded in Course File
