Academics

Outcome Based Education (OBE)

A student-centered education model that focuses on measuring student performance through outcomes. The outcome includes knowledge, skills and attitudes through an integrated curriculum.

Self- Directed Learning (SDL)

SDL is an integral part of student activity in year 1 and year 2. Through our SDL activities we enable students to take initiative and responsibility for their learning. Through these activities they learn to set goals, diagnose their own learning needs, identify the learning resources, and also choose and implement learning strategies relevant to them.
