Tier1  - Autonomous Institutions  ( Washington Accord Since 2014)

Tier II - Affiliated Institutions  as Per University Curriculum

Keywords:

Outcome Based Education OBE, Program Outcome   PO, Program Specific Outcome PSO

POs and PSOs are achieved mainly through the course outcomes (COs) of various courses of the curriculum. The teaching learning process and campus ambience provided,through the co curricular and extracurricular activities on the campus,help develop POs and PSOs in the graduates.  Since OBE is focussed on developing the outcomes in the students, there exists the need to measure and quantify the student attainment in each of these outcomes.  

Need of the hour:

A Dedicated Software iStack is designed and tested in Bannari Amman Institute of technology Sathyamangalam, Sri Ranganathar Institute of Engineering and Technology Coimbatore and Kaamadhenu Arts and Science College. Sri Software Solutions Private Ltd SRISS Coimbatore developed iStack for implementing OBE leading to NBA Accreditation of Programme for five or three years and NAAC with Grade for Institutions for five years.

While quantifying the outcomes is essential, the measures taken  to improve the attainments through introducing the academic changes become the essence of computing attainments.

Hence there is need of iStack Software for effective implementation of Academic process together with providing the required campus ambience to embrace true OBE. This ensures every student graduating from the programme has Twelve POs developed so as to compete on Global Platform.

Advantage of iStack:

Important tool for inherent quality of continuous improvement in student performance through faculty contribution and feedback from stakeholders .

This is a Continuous Cycle Where it is possible to continuously improve on various parameters and Campus Ambience. Hence one Compares with one’s own performance in the previous academic year and defines and implements processes towards improvements

Different Programs of college can share and implement best Academic practices leading to Accreditation of NBA and NAAC with A grade or A + or A++ for a duration of five years.
