Minor Project Guidelines
Minor Project Guidelines
Centered material is to be centered between the left and right margins. The first
line of all paragraphs of running text will be indented 0.5 inches.
Pagination Each page must be numbered, except the Title Page.
The pre pages—including the Copyright Page, Faculty Guide Approval Page,
Acknowledgement, Table of Contents, List of Tables, List of Figures and
Abstract (if any) —will be numbered with lower-case Roman numerals (ii, iii,
iv, etc.) centered from the bottom edge of the page. The first page that will
show a page number is page ii.
All remaining pages carry consecutive numerals (1, 2, 3, etc.). The page number
will be placed in the upper right-hand corner of the page, right aligned.
Tables and Each table of figure should be placed immediately after the paragraph in which
figures it is mentioned. If it has a separate page, this page should be the one following
the page on which the table/figure was first mentioned.
Tables and figures are numbered in separate series. Each table and figure,
including any in the appendices, has a number in its own series. Each series is
numbered consecutively within chapters (e.g., Figure 10.1, Figure 10.2, and
Figure 10.3).
Each table and figure will be separately numbered. All titles/captions of Table
& Figures will appear in the pre pages in the List of Tables and List of Figures.
Position-
Either on whole page or middle alignment
References In the text, give the surname and date in parentheses, e.g. [1], [2]…. At the end
of the study, provide a section headed ‘References’ in which the references are
listed according to their appereance. Include references for electronic sources of
information e.g. web pages. For further detail, see Appendix.
The first line of the citation starts at the left margin and the second and
subsequent lines of that citation are indented 0.5 inches. The referencing style to
be used as per the format. The format for the references shall be given
separately by each faculty.
Appendice Appendices contain supplementary or illustrative material or explanatory data
s too lengthy to be included in the text or not immediately essential to the
readers’ understanding of the text.
Appendices should be lettered in the order in which they are referred.
Annexure
Introduction
Here a brief introduction to the problem that is central to the project and an outline of the
structure of the rest of the report should be provided. It is the first chapter of the report, the
purpose of an introduction in the project report is to justify the reasons for writing about the
report. The goal in this section is to introduce the topic to the reader, provide an overview of
previous research on the topic, and identify the own hypothesis. It can be noted here that the
introduction should not contain every bit of detail in the report, and it should not include support
for the report. An introduction might, however, include the reasons for supporting the report.
The introduction should aim to catch the imagination of the reader, so excessive details should
be avoided.
Literature Review
Literature survey/review is the documentation of a comprehensive review of the published and
unpublished work from secondary data sources. The library is a rich storage base for secondary
data and researchers can go through books, journals, newspapers, magazines, conference
proceedings, doctoral dissertations, master's theses, government publications and financial
reports to find information on their research topic. With computerized databases now readily
available and accessible the literature search is much speedier and easier and can be done
without entering the portals of a library building. Survey of literature related to the project work.
e.g. research papers published in national and international journals, conferences, related books,
websites is very important to get hold of the project topic.
Approach to design: A design approach will guide you to achieve the overall goal of the design. The
key to design approach is clear understanding of what you want to achieve. The basic idea of the design
approach is to understand the context in and the constraints under which a design solution will be
produced. For finding an appropriate design approach you need to:
o Investigate possibilities and constraints
o Define problem spaces
o Build and redefine the specifications of design solutions to test the ideas in a real world
context
o Prototype/Simulate possible scenarios that can incrementally or significantly improve the inherited
situation
o Understanding the current style and trend
Discussion of Results
The purpose of discussion is to interpret the results in light of what was already known about
the topic of the project, and to explain new understanding of the problem after taking the
results into consideration. It should discuss the implications of those results. The discussion
will always connect to the Introduction, but it does not simply repeat or rearrange the
Introduction. Instead, it tells how the study has moved forward from the place it left, at the
end of the Introduction. It can include:
· What can be the next step in the projects, e.g., what experiments would you do next?
· Organize the Discussion to address each of the experiments/studies for which results
were presented.
· Consider how the results of others studies may be combined to derive a new or perhaps
better substantiated understanding of the project.
Conclusion
A conclusion should be the final section in which the outcome of the work is mentioned briefly.
Check that your work answers the following questions:
Did the research project meet its aims (check back to introduction for stated aims)?
What are the main findings of the research?
Are there any recommendations?
Future prospects
State the aspects of the problem that have not been considered and possibilities for further
enhancements. This section shows how the work done can set new research directions. If you're
actively engaged in follow-up work or plan to pursue further work on the subject, mention that.

Equations
The numbering of equations should be sequential, chapter wise. Numbered equations must be
explicitly referred to in the text.
Individual Report
If the project work is carried out in a group, each student is required to submit an individual
report of his/her unique contribution in the completion of the project work. This individual report
should include a brief overview of the project as well as the individual role of the project
member in the successful accomplishment of the sole objective of the project.
