Dr. Sachin Lakra, Professor, Department of Computer Science and Technology (DoCST), Faculty of Engineering, Manav Rachna University presented a lecture to the faculty of department on “Identifying Performance Indicators”.

Performance Indicators (PI’s) and competencies have been stated for each Program Outcome (PO) by the AICTE as a part of Outcome-Based Education (OBE) to be followed in continuous as well as semester-end examinations, besides being followed in student projects, seminars and other forms of assessments.

Professor Lakra briefly outlined the background of performance indicators and then proceeded to state the steps to identify the most appropriate performance indicator(s) for a single question in any examination out of the set of competencies and PI’s as mapped to the PO’s of a particular programme. 

He then gave an example of following the steps with the help of 2-3 different questions from a question paper taken as a sample. This exercise is important for the purpose of accreditations by the NBA/NAAC and must be known to each faculty member since they are the ones who set question papers and then map questions to PI’s.

Ms. Chandni Malhotra, Associate HoD, DoCST, was also present and thanked Prof. Lakra for his presentation. A few photographs of the session are attached herewith.
