FORMAT FOR PREPARING THE ASSIGNMENT / 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 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. Declaration author(s)
1.3. Abstract
1.4. Table of Contents
1.5. List of Tables and Abbreviations
1.6. Chapters
1.6.1 Introduction
1.6.2 Main explanation
1.6.3 Summary and Conclusions
1.7.Appendices
1.8.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 Declaration by Author(s) – see template in appendix 3

3.3 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)

3.4 Table of Contents – The table of contents should list all material
following it as well as any material which precedes it. The title page and
Declaration by Authors may not be included in the Table 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.

3.5 List of Symbols, Abbreviations and Nomenclature –Standard symbols,

abbreviations etc. should be used.

3.6 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 vicinity 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 chapters 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) Summary and Conclusions
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.

REFERENCES: Please follow APA 7 for this task. in google, you can
consult, 12 points of APA.
4. TYPING AND WRITINGINSTRUCTIONS

The impression on the typed copies should be black in colour. One and a half
spacing should be used for typing the text, and shall be typed in the Font style
„Times New Roman‟ and Font size 12, unless otherwise stated explicitly. Main
body of project work should be hand written.
