k) Tables should be given numbers based on their chapters; for example; for chapter 2
they should be Table 2.1, 2.2 and so on. They should be written as per IEEE Syntax as
under:
Table 1.1
Number of Lines, Relays, Variables and Constraints For Some Power Systems
l) Figures should be numbered, and should be titled as under
Fig. 2.2. Diagram Showing Near-End and Far-End Faults for Relay Rpri_Near
m) The covering page and candidate’s declaration must be as per the following page (3)
and (4) respectively (given below). The dotted blank entries in covering page and
candidate’s declaration {page (3) and (4)} must be filled as per the instructions
described with the dotted-lines. The dotted-line-instructions must be removed once
the required details are filled.
Preferably, the thesis should be organized as under:
a) Front Page, Candidate’s Declaration, Acknowledgment, Table of Contents, List of
Figures, List of Tables, Abbreviations/Nomenclature, Abstract and then the chapters.
b) Page number should be numbered in Roman as i, ii, iii, …. up to the of starting of
