mainly contain the work accomplished in the project, with a small portion devoted to
describing the problem addressed and how others have tackled this or similar problems.
The report should be understandable to your classmates. It should have sufficient detail to
enable the examiners to assess the validity of the approaches used and the results obtained.

a) Introduction
Introduction could contain the following. (a) brief statement of the problem, (b)
importance/novelty of the problem, (c) related literature - how others have addressed
this or similar problems and the relevant results they obtained (For example, “It has
already been reported [1]……” OR “Jiang et al [2] reported that….” OR “It is known
[3] that….” etc., where [1], [2], [3], should be detailed in the reference section as per
the format given below), (d) scope of the project - precise idea on what is to be
achieved in the work, (e) brief statements on what subsequent chapters contain.

b) Review of Literature : Must recognize the relevant work done earlier in your
selected title
c) Methodology

explanation
d) Results and Discussion
This could also be in one or more chapters. These chapters include the specific details
of data generated and results obtained, in graphical and/or tabular form. Based on the
analysis and interpretation of data and results, major findings should be pointed out

aspects can be presented in Appendices.

Note: It is very important to draw the figures and prepare the tables yourself. If any
figure or table or data or result or opinion is not yours, cite relevant reference. If you
do not cite reference in such cases, you will be regarded to have plagiarized/stolen the
material. This could lead to punitive action.

Conclusions are to be drawn with reference to the previously stated objectives of the
project. This should highlight the major results. Recommendations are often more
important than conclusions.

d) Managerial Implication: Present how your study is useful for management

practitioner.

future research direction.
