15. GUIDELINES FOR STRUCTURING CONTENTS

Sequence of Contents:

i. Cover Page.
ii. Candidate’s Declaration.
iii. Certificate.
iv. Acknowledgement.
v. Project Approval Sheet
vi. Table of contents/Index (with the corresponding page numbers).
vii. List of figures, tables and abbreviations (with the corresponding page numbers).
viii. Executive summary / Abstract: An abstract gives the essence of the report (usually less
than one page). Abstract is written after the report is completed.
 ix. Introduction (2 or 3 pages): The introduction should include a description of the project
and the scope of the work completed during the project work. It may include background
information necessary to understand the work. It shall justify and highlight the problem
posed, define the topic and explain the aim and scope of the work presented in the project
report
x. Literature Review / Study: This shall normally form Chapter 2 and shall present a
critical appraisal of the previous work published in the literature pertaining to the topic
of the investigation. The extent and emphasis of the chapter shall depend on the nature of
the investigation
xi. Report on the present investigation: The reporting on the investigation shall be
presented in one or more chapters with appropriate chapter titles.
• Due importance shall be given to experimental setups, procedures adopted,
techniques developed, methodologies developed and adopted.
• While important derivations/formulae should normally be presented in the text of
these chapters, extensive and long treatments, copious details and tedious
information, detailed results in tabular and graphical forms may be presented in
Appendices. Representative data in table and figures may, however, be included
in appropriate chapters.
• Figures and tables should be presented immediately following their first mention
in the text. Short tables and figures (say, less than half the writing area of the
page) should be presented within the text, while large table and figures may be
presented on separate pages.
• Equations should form separate lines with appropriate paragraph separation above
and below the equation line, with equation numbers flushed to the right.
xii. Results and Discussions: This shall form the penultimate chapter of the project report
and shall include a thorough evaluation of the investigation carried out and bring out the
contributions from the study. The discussion shall logically lead to inferences and
conclusions as well as scope for possible further future work.
xiii. Summary and Conclusions: This will be the final chapter of the project report. A brief
report of the work carried out shall form the first part of the Chapter. Conclusions derived
from the logical analysis presented in the Results and Discussions. Chapter shall be
presented and clearly enumerated, each point stated separately. Scope for future work
should be stated lucidly in the last part of the chapter.
xiv. References (1 or 2 page): Include references to books, articles, reports referred to in the
report.
