3. References
In the text, the references should be given in one of the following ways:

Author’s last name (if only one author), or both author’s last names (if only two authors), or
by first authors last name followed by et.al.

the references should be listed in alphabetical order of the author’s name or
b) The name(s) should be followed by the serial number from the list of references, and in
the list of references, references should be listed in chronological order and
alphabetical order for each year.

Some Examples are given below:

(a1) Full reference: Kumar, A, 1994, “Studies on Water Sprays”, B. Tech project report,
MPAE/ME. Dept. NSUT
In the Text it should be mentioned as: Kumar (1994)

(a2) Full reference: Prasad, A.B., Kumar,C.D., Jones,E.F., Chiu, S.H., and Frost,P., 1992,
“Some studies in Engineering,” J. Hypothetical technology, v 72, N. 2, pp 82-90
In Text: Prasad et.al. (1992)

(a3) Full Reference: Raman,A., and Bashyam, T.C.A., 1991, Dynamics of M. tech Theses.

4. General

a) Each Equation must be numbered and numbering should be sequential.

b) Sketches, drawings, graphs and photographs should have a Fig. Number and title.
c) Page numbers at bottom center
d) All Figure pages should also be numbered
e) Figures to be preferably included where their reference occurs
f) Figures and plates and equations to be numbered chapter wise refer to figure as
"Figure" not as fig., equation as "equation" and not "eq" . Examples figure 2.3
shows….. in equation (2.3)……..
g) Each table should be numbered.
h) Margins: All text, drawings, tables, etc., must be positioned on an A4 sheet with
25mm margin on the top, bottom and right side and, 37 mm margin on the left side.
i) Make sure proper units, SI as far as possible, appear wherever required.
j) The report, which is submitted, must be complete, error free and referable in future by
academia. Use of spelling and grammar software is strongly recommended. Read the
draft of the report carefully before submission (Please verify it with your supervisor
before hard binding). All references, Figures, Tables, Equations, etc. which are
referenced in the text should be present in the Report and with the same numbering or
referencing. Conversely, all References, Figures, Tables, Equations, etc. must be cross
referenced in the text. e.g. there should be no Figure in the report which is not
referenced in the text. Spell check cannot identify correctly spelt words in the wrong
context, e.g. if you have typed “he” in place of “the” then spell check will not indicate
any mistake but the meaning of the sentence would change drastically.
