1. Write CO for respective subject (Explained under previous CO-PO
PPT).
Ex- CO of Unit I for Pharmacology II subject (According to PCI) is
BP602T.1- Describe pharmacology of drugs acting on respiratory
system and gastrointestinal system.
2. Write a question in question paper.

Policy while setting question paper

10. 10
3. Select the cognitive level of question and accordingly write the
blooms level for that question.
Ex- Explain role of adrenergic Bronchodilators in management of
asthma.
(Cognitive domain used in above situation is using the information
in another similar situation)
So blooms level is level 4- Appling
4. Write number of CO to which this question is mapping
Ex- Explain role of adrenergic Bronchodilators in management of
asthma
This question is mapping with CO1

11. 11
5. Write the PI to which respective question is mapping (refer the PI from
previous PPT)
Ex- Explain role of adrenergic Bronchodilators in management of asthma.
This question mapping with second PI of PO 1 ie
a.Apply fundamentals of theory so PI code is 1.2
b. Apply various techniques to plan a solution to solve the various field
related issues. (Second PI of PO 2 ie 2.2)
c. Apply pharmacy knowledge to fulfill the needs of society. (Second PI of PO
6 ie 6.2)
d. Demonstrate various techniques used for betterment of society from view
point of diagnosis, prevention and treatment. (Third PI of PO 6 ie 6.3)
e Describe various strategicies which help for continuous development of
pharmacy profession. (Second PI of PO 11 ie 11.2)
f.Demonstrate an ability to identify and access sources for new information.
(Third PI of PO 11 ie 11.3)
(So at point 5 column PI code write 1.2, 2.2, 6.2, 6.3, 11.2,11.3)

12. 12
6.Write number PO to which respective PI belongs.
Ex- Explain role of adrenergic Bronchodilators in management of
asthma. From previous reference.
a. This question mapping with second PI of PO 1 so write PO1 at
point 6 in column PO.
b. Second PI of PO 2 ie 2.2
c. Second PI of PO 6 ie 6.2
d. Third PI of PO 6 ie 6.3
e. Second PI of PO 11 ie 11.2
f. Second PI of PO 11 ie 11.3
So PO1, PO2, PO6 PO11 is mapping with respective subject.(So at
point 6 column PO write PO1, PO2, PO6 PO11 )

13. 13
Same steps should follow to set other questions.
