Outcome-based education (OBE) is a key feature of the National Education Policy (NEP), 2020. As per the NEP, it aims to shift the focus of education from traditional learning to the development of skills, knowledge, and competitiveness that are relevant to students’ future careers.
OBE will be used to measure students’ development and to ensure that they have achieved the desired learning outcomes. This means that evaluation will focus on assessing students’ ability to apply their knowledge in real-life, rather than just their ability to memorize and recollect information.
The syllabus along with the program and course outcomes are communicated to students. Attainment of COs is measured on the basis of the performance of students in their examinations. The College will implement OBE system as per the framework prepared by the University of Mumbai.
