The modern world looks for employable graduates from the outcome based educational institutions. Outcome based education (OBE), creates competitive graduates who can reasonable in world wide. Due to this, now a day’s many educational institutions are starts to implement OBE instead of traditional educational system. OBE has gained much impetus in the education system. With no specific methods of teaching or performance assessment, the outcomes are built on scalability, accuracy, and real-time data. Studies say that OBE increases student centric learning instead of teacher centric. This helps the institutions in accreditations like national board of accreditation (NBA), national assessment and accreditation council (NAAC) etc. Recently some countries are accepted graduates for employment only from the NBA accredited programs. Course outcomes (CO’s), program outcomes (PO’s) and program specific outcomes (PSO’s) are the key terms in OBE. This article provides the course plan, attainment calculation of CO’s, Po’s and PSO’s. Here, author’s considered digital circuits and systems (DCS) as a sample course from undergraduate Electronics and Communication Engineering program. The DCS course considered here have 5 CO’s in apply level (K3). In order to calculate the attainment of CO’s, PO’s and PSO’s, first the mapping of CO’s with PO’s and PSO’s are presented. Then different direct assessment (Formative and Summative) tools like internal tests, assignment, quiz and end semester examinations and indirect assessment tools like course end survey are conducted to evaluate the attainment level of 5 course outcomes. Based on the performance of 128 students, attainment of CO’s are calculated first. PO’s and PSO’s attainment are calculated from the CO’s attainment. From the calculated attainment values suggestions/proposals are made for the upcoming semester.
