FORMAT FOR PREPARING THE INTERNSHIP PROJECT REPORT

The write-up should focus on the specific objectives of the project, the methodology used,
and the major findings. Regarding title, instead of giving a general, topic-like title, be
specific and emphasize the explicit nature of the work. The report should be brief, with the
number of pages of the main content of the report being not be more than 30 pages (Please
consult with respective departments for specific instructions in this regard). Front matter,
appendix, etc can be extra.

1. ARRANGING THE CONTENTS:

The sequence in which the project report material should be arranged and bound
should be as follows:

1.1. Cover Page & Title Page

1.2. Bonafide Certificate from the project supervisor(s), counter signed by the
HoD / Division or Group Head
1.3. Declaration by author(s)
1.4. Abstract
1.5. Table of Contents
1.6. List of Symbols, Abbreviations and Nomenclature
1.7. Chapters
1.8. Appendices
1.9. References

2. PAGE DIMENSION AND BINDING SPECIFICATIONS:

The dimension of the project report should be in A4 size. The project report should be
neatly bound. The cover should be printed in black letters and the text (or font?) for
printing should be identical.

3. PREPARATION FORMAT:

3.1 Cover Page & Title Page – A specimen copy of the Cover page & Title page of the
project report are given in Appendix 1.
3.2 Bonafide Certificate – The Bonafide Certificate shall be in double line spacing Times New
Roman using Font Style and Font Size 14, as per the format in Appendix 2. The certificate
shall carry the supervisor’s signature and HoD's signature for projects done in PBL-II.

3.3 Declaration by Author(s) – see template in appendix 3

3.4 Abstract – Abstract should be straight to the point; not too descriptive but fully
informative. The following things should appear in the abstract.
(a) The problem addressed,
(b) Its importance/novelty,
(c) the approach adopted for solving the problem, highlighting novelty, if any,
(d) the major results obtained,
(e) And the major conclusion.

The abstract does not have to be an entire summary of the project, but rather a concise summary
of the scope and results of the project. It should inform a reader whether to read or not the full
text, and also give a precise idea on what has been attempted. An abstract should be short, and
limited to 1 page. Include key words (Font Style: Times New Roman and Font Size: 12,
Spacing: Single)

3.5 Table of Contents – The table of contents should list all material following it as well as any
material which precedes it. The title page, Bonafide Certificate, and Declaration by Authors
may not be included in the Ta ble of Contents, but the page numbers of which are in lower case
Roman numbers. The format of the table of contents is given in Appendix 4.

3.6 List of Symbols, Abbreviations and Nomenclature –Standard symbols, abbreviations etc.
should be used.

3.7 Chapters – The main text will be divided into several chapters and each chapter may
further be divided into sections and subsections. Chapters, sections, and subsections should be
given appropriate titles. Tables and figures should be placed in the immediate v icinity of the
first reference to them. Figure and table numbers should carry their chapter number. For
example Fig. 4.2 is the second figure in the fourth chapter.

The following are suggested chapters and what they could contain. The division into chapte rs
may vary from project to project. The important point is that the report should mainly contain
the work accomplished in the project, with a small portion devoted to describing the problem
addressed and how others have tackled this or similar problems. The report should be
understandable to your classmates. It should have sufficient detail to enable the examiners to
assess the validity of the approaches used and the results obtained.
a) Introduction
Introduction could contain the following.
(a) Brief statement of the problem,
(b) Importance/novelty of the problem,
(c) Related literature - how others have addressed this or similar problems and the
relevant results they obtained (For example, “It has already been reported [1]……” OR
“Jiang et al [2] reported that….” OR “It is known [3] that….” etc., where [1], [2], [3],
should be detailed in the reference section as per the format given below), (d) scope of the
project - precise idea on what is to be achieved in the work, (e) brief statements on what
subsequent chapters contain.

b) Approach Used
This could be in one or more chapter. It should give the details of the approaches used
by the student for arriving at results. The approach could be theoretical, computational,
experimental, or a combination of these. The description should be detailed enough to
enable someone else with the author's background to use the same approach and get the
same results. Detailed part of the description, parameter values used, etc can be be
presented in Appendices.

c) Results and Discussion

This could also be in one or more chapters. These chapters include the specific details
of data generated and results obtained, in graphical and/or tabular form. Based on the
analysis and interpretation of data and results, major findings should be pointed out
unambiguously. It should be noted that the findings are to be summarized according to the
significance to the stated objectives, and should complement the latter. Detailed aspects
can be presented in Appendices.

d) Conclusions and Recommendations

Conclusions are to be drawn with reference to the previously stated objectives of the
project. This should highlight the major results. Recommendations are often more
important than conclusions. It is known to us how to do better only after we finish a
project, i.e. after we obtain an appropriate experience. Particularly, students‟ experiments
are hampered due to lack of experience, time, methods and equipment as well as
insufficient attention to accuracy and details. Recommendations should be given for any
further changes or work that would better accomplish the project objectives, or can extend
them.

Note: It is very important to draw the figures and prepare the tables yourself. If any
figure or table or data or result or opinion is not yours, cite relevant reference. If you do not
cite reference in such cases, you will be regarded to have plagiarized/stolen the material.
This could lead to punitive action.
 (e) Appendices – Appendices may be provided to give supplementary information, which is
included in the main text may serve as a distraction and cloud the central theme.

(f) List of References –The listing of references should be typed below the heading
“REFERENCES” in the order in which they appear in the work. A typical illustrative list is
given below.
