In the present scenario of an extremely competitive world, there is a need of proficient graduates who are able to deal with real world problems. But traditional method of teaching was lagged to address this issue as students learning were limited to known textbook concepts and solutions. Hence outcome based education comes into picture which makes the students more knowledgeable, skillful and capable of facing real world scenarios by evaluating the students based on specific outcomes. Teaching and learning process in outcome based education is student centered learning. We have adopted one such teaching learning method for the course analysis and design of algorithms. The course Analysis and design of algorithms are based on the algorithms with respect to different design techniques. These different design techniques play a vital role in designing and analyzing efficient algorithms in terms of time and space complexities. To prepare the students, to apply and analyze the design techniques for real world applications we inculcated the puzzle based learning environment as a teaching learning process. In this paper, we discuss one of the implemented puzzle and evaluation rubrics which led the students to enhance the cognitive skills and is been measured using indirect survey.
