• Objective Methods of Assessment: Different Dental departments also performs the Objective evaluation of the students which directly connected with direct learning outcomes using the OSCE/OSPE Methods.
• Informal Assessment: For periodic and continuous assessment students are provided with topic specific assignments, Seminars, group discussions and their feedback about learning satisfactions as course exit survey.
CO attainment is defined/set at three levels.
The CO attainment is based on end term examination assessment carried out by RGUHS
i. Level-1: 40% students score more than class average
ii. Level-2: 50% students score more than class average
iii. Level-3: 60% students score more than class average
