    Guidelines for preparing M.

    Tech Project Review Report / Thesis


    Objective
    These guidelines are provided to formally expose you to the various technical issues involved in
    writing up your work and the format you are required to adhere to while submitting your work as
    project review report /thesis.
    Format for project review report / Thesis
    The review report / thesis has to be prepared keeping in view that the copies submitted to the
    program manager or to your supervisor could be the only surviving copies containing your
    valuable results. Readability and longevity of the copy you prepare for program manager, and
    your supervisor and other students are therefore of paramount importance. Good readability
    requires that there are no grammatical mistakes in the text. Minor grammatical mistakes are
    annoying irritants and distract a reader from progressing with the text without losing focus.
    Unnecessary use of italicized, underlined, and bold faced words in the text is also irksome; such
    usage must be kept to a bare minimum. The font size and font type used for headings should be
    just big enough to indicate a break in continuity; the heading should not dominate the layout of a
    page.
    The following guidelines are being laid down to ensure that the report / thesis submitted
    henceforth meet certain minimum standards with respect to the format.
    1. Sequencing :
    The sequence in which the report / thesis should be arranged is as follows:

    The report / thesis should be bound using flexible cover (soft binding). The cover should be
    printed in black letters and the text for printing should be identical.
    Page numbers All text pages as well as program source code listings should be numbered
    using Arabic numerals at the bottom center of the pages.
    Font
    Times New Roman 12pt font should be used consistently throughout the text. Captions for tables
    and figures can be in smaller fonts, but not smaller than 10pt.
    Paragraphs
    No paragraph should have its opening line at the bottom of a page. A clear, consistent, but not too
    large a separation must be provided between the paragraphs throughout the report / thesis.

    work completed and a summary of any findings or lessons learned.

    Research advisor and other members. Courtesy demands that he / she also recognizes specific
    contributions by other persons or institutions such as libraries and research foundations.
