Learning outcome based curriculum is followed in the Deemed University. The curriculum is designed such that successful completion of different courses ultimately leads to the attainment of defined program outcomes and program specific outcomes.

Every course has a defined set of course outcomes/course objectives which indicate what the students will be able to do after completion of that course. The syllabus and learning activities are framed accordingly to address the course outcomes or objectives along with appropriate Bloom’s taxonomy levels. A review of the course and similar courses offered by reputed Universities in India and abroad is done in the process; feedback and recommendations of experts in the domain are also taken into account.

Every course outcome is linked to different program outcomes which describe the different graduate attributes for a particular program. The attainment of Program Outcomes is related to the different course outcome attainments for a particular batch of students.

Every Program also has a defined set of Program Educational Objectives (PEOs) which describes what the graduates will be able to attain or do within a few years of graduation. The curriculum is designed to help the students attain the PEOs as well.

A well established correlation is maintained and ensured between the course outcomes, program outcomes and program educational objectives.
