    Bloom mapping & evaluation

    Assessment

    Every course outcome in the syllabus is tagged to a Bloom's cognitive level (K1–K6). Aggregated across all detailed courses, this is the cognitive-demand profile the programme aims for — a useful blueprint for setting question papers and internal tests.

    Cognitive demand (K-levels)

    Count of course outcomes at each Bloom level, across detailed courses.

    Computed directly from the CO → K-level tags printed on every course sheet in the approved syllabus.

    Suggested question-paper weighting

    A CIA / end-semester paper can mirror the profile above.
