Course – PO/PSO Mapping Strength

Strength of CO-PO/PSO Mapping


– If >60% of classroom sessions addressing a particular PO/PSO, it is considered that
PO/PSO is addressed at Level 3
– If >50% &<60% of classroom sessions addressing a particular PO/PSO, it is
considered that PO/PSO is addressed at Level 2
– If >40% & <50% of classroom sessions addressing a particular PO/PSO, it is
considered that PO/PSO is addressed at Level 1
– If < 40% of classroom sessions addressing a particular PO/PSO, it is considered that
PO/PSO is considered not-addressed
