GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION OF B.E. PROJECT REPORTS
Since the project report reflect the quality and reputation of the student, faculty and institution
the standards of the same should be high. So please observe the uniformity of the report you make
following certain standard format.
The project report should be brief, and the description of work carried out by others should be
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
report and clarity of expression. Due care should be taken to avoid spelling and typing errors.
Consistency of format and spelling should be followed throughout the report.
All the text matter except the title should be fully justified.
Project report should be typed neatly on one side of the paper with 1.5 or double line spacing on
an A4 size bond paper (210x297 mm). The margins should be: Left- 1.25, Right- 1, Top 1 and
Bottom 1 (refer the sample template)
Use
BOLD CAPITALS ARIAL 18/20
depending on the length of the title. Use
for Title of the project
BOLD CAPITALS ARIAL 16
font size
for chapter title, BOLD CAPITALS ARIAL 12 size for major text captions, Bold Arial
12 for sub-captions, and Arial 12 simple font for text matter.
The chapters, sections and subsections may be numbered in the decimal format. For e.g.:
Chapter 2, sections as 2.2, 2.5, etc., and subsections as 2.5.1, 2.5.2, 2.5.2.1 etc.
E.g.:
CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
2.5 MORPHOMETRIC ANALYSIS: Morphometry is the measurement and .............
..
2.5.1 Methodology: In order to study the linear, areal and relief aspects of the
Mulki
2.5.2 Linear Aspects of Basin: The first step in drainage basin analysis is to
delineate.. . .
All the departments will have same cover page colour for B.E. projects. Use only the prescribed
logo printed cover page wrapper supplied from the college for the outer cover to have
uniformity.
Each project batch should prepare a minimum of one hard bound and one soft copy (written in
CD) extra, to be given to their guide and the department, other than their individual copies. The
number of copies to be prepared for each project are
N.M.A.M. Institute of Technology

One bounded copy each to the candidate and to the concerned guide(s)
One virus free soft copy of the project report in a CD (written in .pdf and MS word
format) to the department instead of hard bound copy.
Project sponsored under SPP series from KSCST should prepare an additional hard bound copy
and a virus free soft copy in CD (written in .pdf and MS word format) of the project report for
which they can claim Rs. 500/- from KSCST funding. The project batch should appropriately
acknowledge the concerned and the KSCST for sponsoring their project under SPP 37th series.
They should submit the bills and claim the sanctioned fund through their guides before they
leave the institute.
Before taking the final print out, the approval of the concerned guide(s) is mandatory and
suggested corrections if any, must be incorporated.
Project Report material should be divided clearly into PRELIMINARIES, MAIN TEXT and
REFERENCE MATERIALS and should include the following in the given below sequence and
format.
PRELIMINARIES should be numbered in roman numerals (such as i, ii, iii, iv, ), but the title
pages need not be printed with page numbers even though they will be counted for numbering in
sequential order.
Chapters should contain Introduction, Main Body divided appropriately into chapters with
sections and sub-sections, and Conclusions. They should be numbered and page numbered
sequentially in Arabic numerals (such as 1, 2, 3, 4, ). The title pages of each chapter should
not be printed with page numbers even though they will be counted for numbering in sequential
order.
The figures and tables must be numbered chapter wise with a suitable caption for the same. For
e.g.: Fig. 2.1 Block diagram of a serial binary adder
Table 3.2 Primitive flow table, etc.
All equation numbers should be right justified and important equations must be numbered in
decimal form. For e.g.:
V/I = R
(3.4)

Title page: Never use project report on . in the title of your project, since it is
mentioned below as it is a project report submitted to the institute/university. Give only title
of your project without any addition of project report on statement. Sample format is
attached and the style of the format (Fig. 1) is given below.
April 2015
Contents page should give a birds eye view of the entire report with its chapters, sections, subsections, etc., with page numbers for easy reference. A sample page of the same is given below
(fig. 2).

Fig. 2 Sample Style of Content page
Reference Materials: This can be titled as REFERENCES placed immediately after the last
chapter of the report without any chapter number but page numbers continued from the
preceding chapter. It should be numbered serially in the order of their occurrence cited in the
text and their numbers should be indicated within square brackets. Eg. [3]
Listing of the References should be made in a logical arrangement in alphabetical and
chronological order.
The pattern of reference citing should be as follows: It should start with the left margin.
E.g.: For Text Books Surname of the first author with a coma, followed by the first name of the
first author either in abbreviation or full (woman author) followed in similar way for the other
authors also, year of publication in bracket, Title of the Book in double inverted commas, Publisher
Details, pages.
For Technical Papers Surname of the first author with a coma, followed by the first name of the
first author either in abbreviation or full (woman author) followed in similar way for the other
authors also, year of publication in bracket, Title of the Paper in double inverted commas, Journal
Name/Conference Proceedings Name, Volume Number and other details, page no./nos.

Unpublished Thesis:

A thorough review should be carried out in a systematic way reading several times,
concentrating on one aspect at each time. A checklist can be used for this, and minimum four
times should be reviewed for the following purposes: Logic, Expression, Punctuation and Layout.
Remember, the project report is the hallmark and mirror of your intellect and hard work. So give
utmost importance for its preparation.
