thesis work (v) Conclusion and future scope of work.
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
section 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 sub-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.
 Footnotes should be used sparingly. They should be typed single space and
placed directly underneath in the very same page, which refers to the material
they annotate.
