The Outcome Based Education (OBE) plays a major role in improving the quality of an education system. In OBE knowledge, skills and attitudes of a graduate are the major components. In this paper effective teaching of cognitive domain in the outcome based education is analyzed. The jig saw based cooperative learning method is the one which involves group participation model that encourage peer teaching and learning in an effective way. On practicing the cooperative learning method 91.67% of expected attainment is achieved. This method proves to be the effective one for understanding cognitive domain in the outcome based education.
