7. CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT (50)
7.1. Actions taken based on the results of evaluation of each of the POs & PSOs (20)
Identify the areas of weaknesses in the program based on the analysis of evaluation of POs & PSOs attainment levels. Measures identified and implemented to improve POs & PSOs attainment levels for the assessment years.
Actions to be written as per table in 3.3.2.
Examples of analysis and proposed action
Sample 1-Course outcomes for a laboratory course did not measure up, as some of the lab equipment did not have the capability to do the needful (e.g., single trace oscilloscopes available where dual trace would have been better, or, non-availability of some important support software etc.). Action taken-Equipment up-gradation was carried out (with details of up-gradation)
Sample 2-In a course on EM theory student performance has been consistently low with respect to some COs. Analysis of answer scripts and discussions with the students revealed that this could be attributed to a weaker course on vector calculus.
Action taken-revision of the course syllabus was carried out (instructor/text book changed too has been changed, when deemed appropriate).
Sample 3-In a course that had group projects it was determined that the expectations from this course about PO3 (like: “to meet the specifications with consideration for the public health and safety, and the cultural, societal, and environmental considerations”) were not realized as there were no discussions about these aspects while planning and execution of the project. Action taken- Project planning, monitoring and evaluation included in rubrics related to these aspects.

Similar Tables should be presented for CAYm1 and CAYm2
7.1. Academic Audit and actions taken thereof during the period of Assessment (10)
(Academic Audit system/process and its implementation in relation to Continuous Improvement)
7.2. Improvement in Placement, Higher Studies and Entrepreneurship (10)
Assessment is based on improvement in:
Placement: number, quality placement, core industry, pay packages etc.
Higher studies: performance in GATE, GRE, GMAT, CAT etc., and admissions in premier institutions
Entrepreneurs
7.3. Improvement in the quality of students admitted to the program (10)
Assessment is based on improvement in terms of ranks/score in qualifying state level/national level entrances tests, percentage marks in Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics in 12th Standard
and percentage marks of the lateral entry students.
