Outcome-Based Education (OBE) and Institutional Accreditation

Designing an effective higher education curriculum requires a shift from what is taught to what students actually learn. Transitioning to Outcome-Based Education (OBE) is essential for institutional excellence and meeting modern accreditation standards.
