placed in the Faculty library, and the third in the Institute library.
 Chapter 1 should be very straight forward with minimum jargon. It should be simple
enough so that reader belonging to different fields can understand this chapter.
 The Headings and the subheadings defined in the main body structure should be
followed strictly.
 Exceptions are allowed for chapter 3 and 4, depending upon the nature of the project,
with approval of the supervisor.

the work done in the project.
 All the units used in the report must be in SI unit system.
 Note that “cut and paste” is not allowed and will be considered plagiarism.
 All text taken from references should be in your own word and properly cited.
 Before final presentation: Word processed but not bound.
 After final presentation: Final copy, after making corrections and modifications, to be
deposited with payment for three official copies and binding. Electronic copy of
report and computer-program/software files also to be submitted on CD/DVD.

Formatting Guidelines
