Issues in Harmonization of iCGPA with Existing OBE's PO Attainment Methodology for Engineering Degree Programme

Since the introduction of iCGPA as an official holistic reporting system for attainment of Outcome Based Education (OBE) by the Ministry of Higher Education (MOHE) in 2016, there was a huge interest by the Engineering Degree Programme provider in the country in adapting the iCGPA into its existing OBE Quality Management System. This work investigates the issues involved in the harmonization of iCGPA with that of the existing OBE's PO Attainment system for Engineering Degree programme primarily in its different point of references and methodology used for computation of outcomes attainment. Several possible models to integrate iCGPA into the existing OBE's PO Attainment system have been proposed. Each of the proposed models has its own advantages and disadvantages in computing the outcomes attainment.
