different first page); however the page number will be counted for the proceeding page.

Headers

The header will comprise the title of the Project report. On every odd page will appear the title of the report while on the even pages
the title of the chapter or section will be mentioned. The first page of every Section or chapter shall not carry the header.
Section Breaks

Each chapter should be in a separate section. The pages before the chapter 1 should be in section 1 and chapter 1 should be in section
2 and so on. Similarly, Bibliography and Appendices (each A, B etc.) should be sectioned separately.
