About OBE
Education organised around outcomes.
Outcome-Based Education defines what a graduate should know and be able to do, then aligns curriculum, teaching and assessment to those outcomes. Program Outcomes (POs) and Program-Specific Outcomes (PSOs) are mapped to Course Outcomes (COs) for every subject, and attainment is measured through direct and indirect assessment and reviewed each academic cycle.
The Program and Program-Specific Outcomes below are the B.Pharmacy outcomes framed under the Pharmacy Council of India's CBCS regulations. The full per-subject Course Outcomes are available in the document at the foot of this page.
