Outcome-Based Education and CO–PO Mapping
Why colleges run this
Most CO–PO matrices are written after the fact to satisfy a panel. Written properly they tell the department something true about its own teaching.

K3CO2
Identify outcomes that cannot be measured and rewrite them
K4CO3
Construct a CO-PO matrix with a stated justification for each mapping
K3CO4

K3CO5
Evaluate an attainment report and state what the department should change
K5Modules tap a module for its theory & lab
