and assistance of the report advisor and other members of the faculty. Courtesy demands
that he also recognize specific contribution by other persons or institutions such as
libraries and research foundations. Acknowledgements should be expressed simply,
tastefully, and tactfully duly signed above the name. Email should also be given at the

Table of Contents – The table of contents should list all material following it as well as
any material which precedes it. One and a half spacing should be adopted for typing the
matter under this head. A specimen copy of the Table of Contents is given in Appendix.

this head. A specimen copy of the List of Tables is given in Appendix.
List of Figures – The list should use exactly the same captions as they appear below the

Figures and tables should be numbered as x.x (E.g. Fig. 3.1 for first figure in
chapter 3) in the text of the discussion.
Chapters –
The chapters may be broadly divided into 3 parts (i) Introductory chapter, (ii) Chapters
developing the main theme of the project work (iii) and Conclusion. The main text will
be divided into several chapters and each chapter may be further divided into several
divisions and sub-divisions.
The chapter title is the first-order heading. A chapter may be divided into sections each of
which has a section title (second-order heading). For example, in Chapter 3, the sections will
be numbered 3.1, 3.2, etc. If at all possible do not further subdivide a section.
Use subsections (third-order headings) only if unavoidable. For instance, in section 3.2, the
subsections will be numbered 3.2.1, 3.2.2, etc. Do not further subdivide beyond this point.
For example, subsection 3.2.2 may not be further divided into subsections 3.2.2.1, 3.2.2.2 etc.
Tables and figures in a chapter should be placed in the immediate vicinity of the
reference where they are cited.
Good quality white A4 size (GSM 100) paper should be used for printout and
duplication.
