Acknowledgments
Table of Contents
List of table & figures (optional)
Usually numbered in roman
Chapters (to be numbered in Arabic) containing Introduction-, which
usually specifies the scope of work and its importance and relation to
previous work and the present developments, Main body of the report
divided appropriately into chapters, sections and subsections.
The chapters, sections and subsections may be numbered in the decimal
form for e.g. Chapter 2, sections as 2.1, 2.2 etc., and subsections as 2.2.3,
2.5.1 etc.
The chapter must be left or right justified (font size 16). Followed by the
title of chapter centered (font size 18), section/subsection numbers along
with their headings must be left justified with section number and its
heading in font size 16 and subsection and its heading in font size 14. The
body or the text of the report should have font size 12.
The figures and tables must be numbered chapter wise for e.g.: Fig. 2.1
Block diagram of a serial binary adder, Table 3.1 Primitive flow table, etc.
The last chapter should contain the summary of the work carried,
contributions if any, their utility along with the scope for further work.
Reference OR Bibliography: The references should be numbered serially in
the order of their occurrence in the text and their numbers should be
indicated within square brackets for e.g. [3]. The section on references
should list them in serial order in the following format.
For textbooks – A.V. Oppenheim and R.W. Schafer, Digital Signal
Processing, Englewood, N.J., Prentice Hall, 3 Edition, 1975.
For papers – Devid, Insulation design to combat pollution problem, Proc of
IEEE, PAS, Vol 71, Aug 1981, pp 1901-1907.
Only SI units are to be used in the report. Important equations must be
numbered in decimal form for e.g.
V = IZ ………. (3.2)
All equation numbers should be right justified.
The project report should be brief and include descriptions of work carried
out by others only to the minimum extent necessary. Verbatim
reproduction of material available elsewhere should be strictly avoided.
Where short excerpts from published work are desired to be included, they
should be within quotation marks appropriately referenced.
Proper attention is to be paid not only to the technical contents but also to
the organization of the report and clarity of the expression. Due care
should be taken to avoid spelling and typing errors. The student should
note that report-write-up forms the important component in the overall
evaluation of the project.
Hardware projects must include: the component layout, complete circuit
with the component list containing the name of the component, numbers
used, etc. and the main component data sheets as Appendix. At the time
of report submissions, the students must hand over a copy of these details
to the project coordinator and see that they are entered in proper
registers maintained in the department.
Software projects must include a virus free disc, containing the software
developed by them along with the read me file. Read me file should
contain the details of the variables used, salient features of the software
and procedure of using them: compiling procedure, details of the
computer hardware/software requirements to run the same, etc. If the
developed software uses any public domain software downloaded from
some site, then the address of the site along with the module name etc.
must be included on a separate sheet. It must be properly acknowledged
in the acknowledgments.
Sponsored Projects must also satisfy the above requirements along with
statement of accounts, bills for the same dully attested by the concerned
guides to process further, they must also produce NOC from the
concerned guide before taking the internal viva examination.
