In response to the evolving educational background, NEISSR has developed the COPO MODEL to shift from traditional intelligence-centric assessments to recognizing, nurturing the unique, creative contributions of individuals in various spheres of learning processes. The model employs a balanced 40-60 percentage ratio of internal to external assessments, with a special emphasis on extra-curricular activities. The challenging issues addressed involve designing a system that holistically measures knowledge, skills, attitudes, and values.

The NEISSR has developed its own a unique model of assessing Course Outcomes (CO) and Programme Outcomes (PO). This model is known as NEISSR COPO MODEL addressing the academic and social mission of education. The IQAC along with the examination committee for Outcome Based Education has prepared the manual for assessment and calculation of attainment of Learning Outcomes. The Course Outcomes (CO) and Programme Outcomes (PO) are calculated using the appropriate metrics.

 The Course outcomes are 40 percentage by internal assessment and 60 percentage by external assessment. 
1. Two Internal exam- Compulsory - two per semester. 
2. One Internal exam - Compulsory (Following 8 parameters are used for (POs) and (COs) assessment). 

In the context of Indian Higher Education, the NEISSR COPO MODEL represents a significant shift from conventional modes of assessment towards a more inclusive and comprehensive approach that acknowledges different forms of intelligence. This model also recognizes the existence of different intelligence quotients beyond just academic intelligence, such as emotional intelligence, social intelligence, Adversity intelligence and creative intelligence. By incorporating parameters that assess not only knowledge but also skills, attitudes, and values, the model provides a more holistic evaluation of students' overall capabilities. Activities such as fieldwork, seminars, workshops, volunteer service, and participation in clubs and forums provide opportunities for students to showcase their talents, creativity, leadership skills, and social consciousness.

COPO Assessment Framework

The NEISSR COPO model stands as an innovation in the realm of academic assessment, changing conventional paradigms to a holistic and inclusive approach to education in the present scenario enhancing both academic and social mission of education. By integrating Course Outcomes (CO) and Program Outcomes (PO) with a balanced blend of internal and co-curricular activities, this model not only fosters a comprehensive understanding of students' capabilities but also nurtures their holistic development. Thus, its success is indicated by improved student engagement, enriched learning experiences, and tangible progress in both academic and co-curricular domains.

Best Practice II- Peace Lab

 The PEACE LAB at NEISSR is a dynamic ecosystem designed to foster innovation and incubate ideas that promote peace and sustainability. It is a collaborative and participatory learning platform where individuals, groups and community can engage in meaningful dialogue, develop skills, and work together to address complex social and environmental challenges with a particular focus on promoting peace, reconciliation and sustainable development. 

The PEACE LAB includes the PEAR Methodology, a framework of procedures, techniques and tools used to accomplish tasks. PEAR stands for Planning, Execution, Assessment, and Remodeling, and it serves as the cornerstone of our learning practices of primary method of social work. The PCDA2 Peer Capacity Development Approach for Action refers to general strategy for addressing issues and achieving goals. (E2+P2)=S is a model refers to a structured framework of teaching- learning and innovation at NEISSR. This model provides teachers and learners a systematic approach to understanding, analyzing and improving or remodeling various aspects of learning process. The following components of Peace Lab are interlinked and interconnected creating a cohesive and effective learning environment.
