| Programme Outcomes | CTPO | TOA | | Upon successful completion of the course, the students will be able to : | | | | PO - 1 : | The performance of tests used for diagnostic and screening purposes can be measured using different criteria
| | | | PO - 2 : | It can compare different tests in terms of different performance measures
| | | | PO - 4 : | You can choose the best tool by observing the benefit-cost balance | | | | PO - 5 : | It can create the best combination when there are multiple tools to make decisions
| | | | PO - 6 : | It can be a decision tree for a problem, it can criticize and discuss the literature at an advanced level.
| | | | PO - 7 : | They can collaborate on these issues with people from different disciplines (medicine, engineering, statistics, etc.).
