Blooms’s Taxonomy – Question Standard Level

Outcome Based Education (OBE) has been implemented from the academic year 2017 – 2018. In connections with this, we are following Bloom’s Taxonomy for teaching, learning and evaluating process to improve the skill of the students.
Bloom’s Taxonomy primarily provides instructions with a focus for developing their course learing objectives. It can be used to increase student understanding of the learning process. Teachers can understand the complex congitive development and how lower-level skills build into higher-order thinking (Ee.G., recalling facts and comprehending previous problems allow the students to apply their experience to similar problems)
All Question Paper follows the given levels:
Base Level (Remembering and Understanding)
- Application Level (Applying)
Advance Thinking Level (Analyzing, Evaluating and Creating)
Choice-Based Credit System coupled with Grading, Innovative method of Curriculum and Evaluation:
This is a modern system introduced in Higher Educational Institutions to keep the curriculum relevant to the global demands and standards. Students are offered with a choice of Job- oriented courses, Elective Courses and courses for improving soft-skills. They can choose any course of their interest and need during the period of study and earn extra credits and certificates in addition to the Degree in their respective disciplines. In this College, Choice Based Credit System is followed from 2004 – 2005 academic year onwards.
