3.10 Chapters – The chapters may be broadly divided into 3 parts (i) Introductory chapter, (ii)
Chapters developing the main theme of the project work (iii) Conclusion and (iv) Scope for the
future work.

The main text will be divided into several chapters and each chapter may be further divided into
several divisions and sub-divisions.
▪ Each chapter should be given an appropriate title.
▪ 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.

3.11 List of References – The listing of references should be typed 4 spaces below the heading
“REFERENCES” in alphabetical order in single spacing left – justified. The reference material
should be listed in the alphabetical order of the first author. The name of the author/authors should
be immediately followed by the year and other details.

The page Nos. for the abstract, list of table, list of figures and list of symbols should be in
lower case roman letters.

A typical illustrative list given below relates to the citation example quoted above.

3.12 Appendices – Appendices are provided to give supplementary information, which is

included in the main text may serve as a distraction and cloud the central theme.
▪ Appendices should be numbered using Arabic numerals,e.g. Appendix 1, Appendix 2, etc.
▪ Appendices, Tables and References appearing in appendices should be numbered and
referred to at appropriate places just as in the case of chapters.
▪ Appendices shall carry the title of the work reported and the same title shall be made in the
contents page also.

4 TYPING INSTRUCTIONS:
4.1 General
This section includes additional information for final typing of the project report. Some information
given earlier under ‘Manuscript preparation’ shall also be referred.
The impressions on the typed copies should be black in color.
“The font and size: ‘12 point TimesNewRoman’ with bold letters wherever necessary shall be used
to have uniformity of the project report”.
A sub-heading at the bottom of a page must have at least two full lines below it or else it should
be carried over to the next page.
The last word of any page should not be split using a hyphen.
One and a half spacing should be used for typing the general text.
Single spacing should be used for typing:
I. Long Tables
II. Long quotations
III. Foot notes
IV. Multiline captions
V. References

All quotations exceeding one line should be typed in an indented space – the indentation
being 15mm from either margins.
One and a half spacing should be used for typing the Bonafide Certificate and Acknowledgement.

4.2. Chapters
The format for typing chapter headings, divisions headings and sub division headings are explained
through the following illustrative examples.

Chapter heading : CHAPTER 1

Division heading INTRODUCTION
Division heading : 1.1 OUTLINE OF PROJECT REPORT
Sub-division heading : 1.1.2. Literature review.

The word CHAPTER without punctuation should be centered 50mm down from the top of the
page. Two spaces below, the title of the chapter should be typed centrally in capital letters. The
text should commence 4 spaces below this title, the first letter of the text starting 20mm, inside
from the left hand margin.

The division and sub-division captions along with their numberings should be left-justified. The
typed material directly below division or sub-division heading should commence 2 spaces below
it and should be offset 20mm from the left hand margin. Within a division or sub-division,

3
paragraphs are permitted. Even paragraph should commence 3 spaces below the last line of the
preceding paragraph, the first letter in the paragraph being offset from the left hand margin by
20mm.

5. NUMBERING INSTRUCTIONS
5.1 Page Numbering
All pages numbers (whether it is in Roman or Arabic numbers) should be typed without
punctuation on the upper right hand corner 20mm from top with the last digit in line with the right
hand margin. The preliminary pages of the project report (such as Title page, Acknowledgement,
Table of Contents etc.) should be numbered in lower case Roman numerals. The title page will be
numbered as (i) but this should not be typed. The page immediately following the title page shall
be numbered (ii) and it should appear at the top right hand corner as already specified. Pages of
main text, starting with Chapter 1 should be consecutively numbered using Arabic numerals.

5.2 Numbering of Chapters, Divisions and Sub-Divisions

The numbering of chapters, divisions and sub-divisions should be done, using Arabic numerals
only and further decimal notation should be used for numbering the divisions and sub-divisions
within a chapter. For example, sub-division 4 under division 3 belonging to chapter 2 should be
numbered as 2.3.4. The caption for the sub-division should immediately follow the number
assigned to it.

Every chapter beginning with the first chapter should be serially numbered using Arabic numerals.
Appendices included should also be numbered in an identical manner starting with Appendix 1.

5.3 Numbering of Tables and Figures

Tables and Figures appearing anywhere in the project report should bear appropriate numbers.
The rule for assigning such numbers is illustrated through an example. Thus if as figure in Chapter
3, happens to be the fourth then assign 3.4 to that figure. Identical rules apply for tables except that
the word Figures is replaced by the word Table. If figures (or tables) appear in appendices then
figure 3 in Appendix 2 will be designated as Figure A 2.3. If a table to be continued into the next
page this may be done, but no line should be drawn underneath an unfinished table. The top line of
the table continued into the next page should, for example read Table 2.1 (continued) placed
centrally and underlined.

5.4 Numbering of Equations

Equations appearing in each Chapter or Appendix should be numbered serially, the numbering
commencing a fresh for each Chapter or Appendix. Thus for example, an equation appearing in
Chapter 2, if it happens to be the eighth equation in that Chapter should be numbered (2.8) thus:
C(s) G1 G2
----- = ----------------- (2.8)
R(s) 1 + G1G2H
While referring to this equation in the body of the project report it should be referred to as Equation
(2.8).
