OUTCOME BASED EDUCATION & ACCREDATION
Maitreyi Dutta, professor of information management and emerging engineering at the National Institute of Technical Teacher Training and Research (NITTTR), Chandigarh, said students need to develop knowledge as well as skills. The Vice-Chancellor inaugurated a five-day training programme on "Outcome Based Education (OBE) and Accreditation" jointly organised by the Academy for Faculty Development, Dean-AAA, Dean-PCF and Dean-IQAC Departments at Vadlamudi Vignan’s University in Chebrolu mandal on Monday. Maitreyi Dutta, Professor of Information Management and Emerging Engineering, NITTTR, Chandigarh, who was the chief guest at the event, said that the skills and goals that students can achieve through the OBE system will be considered as the main focus. The uniqueness of this approach is that the students' educational journey depends on how they develop their technical and social skills and how they will sustain themselves in the future using them.
In this system, the results of the subject studied by the students will be pre-determined. Based on them, educational programmes and teaching methods will be designed. "OBE will help students not only learn subjects but also enhance their skills and abilities. It will help students to acquire thinking methods and solving skills. It will also prepare the students to have an education system as per the needs of the market. He said that the standard of education will improve by taking skills as a priority. Students will get comprehensive learning by acquiring not just subjects but also practical knowledge. "We will examine how the students are achieving their goals and evaluate their performance carefully. It also gives priority to the personal and professional development of the students. The recognition will be based on results and not on the basis of ranks based on the practical performance and experience exhibited by the students.
The performance standards of educational institutions and their education plans will be analysed and accredited. "Recognised bodies like AICTE and NBA will give recognition to organisations that follow OBE practices. "Accreditation is a matter of careful scrutiny and recognition of educational institutions, especially in the engineering and technology sectors, whether they are complying with quality standards or not. This will ensure quality, scientificity and transparency in educational institutions and accreditation, which is based on the OBE system, will play a key role in improving the performance of the students. With the accreditation, educational institutions will be recognised internationally and students will get better job opportunities, he said. Later, the chief guest cleared the doubts of the teachers. Vice-Chancellor of Vigyan University Prof. P. Nagabhushan, In-charge Registrar Dr. P.M.V. Rao, Deans, Directors, Heads and Faculty members of the respective departments were present on the occasion.
