General Instruction for writing Progress Report

1. The expected number of pages in the progress report are 50-60 pages at least.

2. Progress report should be hard bound. If not, it will not be accepted.

3. Project Reports should be submitted to candidate's supervisor for review well in

advance so that the supervisor suggests the necessary changes that should be
incorporated in the reports.
4. An example of the Title Page for the Project Report is given in this document.
Follow the example carefully as to form and spacing.

5. Declaration, Certificate of Supervisor or Acknowledgements must immediately

precede the Abstract and must be brief, one page or less in length.

6. Use of the pronoun such as "I", "We", "You", "He", "They" must be avoided. It is
suggested to use passive voice in such cases.

7. Very often, it has been seen that author mixes up various tenses to express. It is
expected that one uses only present tense through the report.

8. An abstract is an abbreviated version of the project report. It should be limited to a

maximum of 250 words. It must cover the following points: statement of the
problem; procedure or method; results; conclusions. In Introduction, one
describes the purpose for doing such a project. It should address the need for such
type of work. In the next stage, one should write down the Problem Statement. It
is needed to identify the problem that has been considered in the project. In
Procedures, the approach used to investigate the problem should be mentioned in
the abstract. However one should try to describe the most important variables used
in the report if room permits. In the fourth stage, abstract must clearly state the
Results/ achievements obtained through the execution of the project. Finally
Conclusions are given an the last stage. One should state clearly whether the
objectives have been met or not.

9. Introduction is the first chapter of the Report. The goal in this section is to
introduce the topic to the reader, provide an overview of previous research on the
topic, and identify the own hypothesis.
9.1 Introduction of the Problem: This is the first task which provides a brief
description of the project work. It speaks about the type of the experiment or study
attempting to demonstrate or the phenomena that are planned to study. It also should
provide a brief history of the problem and explain how it is important to make such
type of study.
 9.2 Objective of problem: This is the second task which provides requirement of
the problem.
9.3 Organization of the Report : This is the last task in introduction chapter. One
should write clearly the organization of the project. It provides the short description
of the work reported in each chapter.

10. Literature review is the second chapter of progress report. The task of the
literature review is to provide a well-rounded summary of previous research that is
relevant to the problem considered for the study. So, before one begins to write this
summary, it is important to thoroughly research the problem.

11. Depending upon project and work done, define other chapters.

12. The last chapter describes conclusion and future scope.

If there is material that should be in the project report but which would break up the
flow or bore the reader unbearably, include it as an appendix. Some things which are
typically included in appendices are: important and original computer programs, data
files that are too large to be represented simply in the results chapters, pictures or
diagrams of results which are not important enough to keep in the main text.

13. Format for references is given as example.

14. As a character font, one should use Times New Roman 12 point in the text and
at least 8 point in the figures.

15. Spacing of the text material shall be 1.5 .

16. Headings used in the report shall conform to the following rules:
a. Chapter Headings - CHAPTER 1,CHAPTER 2, CHAPTER 3 etc. .
(1) Must begin a new page and be centered using the Font Size 18 with Bold
Face.
(2) Must be typed in upper case letters.
(3) Provide 3 blank lines after the chapter name.

b. Second Headings - 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, etc.

(1) Must be towards left margin and be typed in capital and lower case letters; i.e.,
the first letter of each word except conjunctions, prepositions, and articles
must be a capital letter. Omit period at the end of heading.
(2) Font Size to be used is 14 with Bold Face.

(3) In case it is found that first line of the succeeding text starts from the next page,
then this heading should start from the next page using page break.

c. First sub-headings - 2.2.1, 2.2.2 , etc.

 (1) Must be typed on separate lines beginning at the left margin line of the text,
but need not begin a new page.
(2) Must be typed in capital and lower case letters except conjunctions,
prepositions, and articles.
(3) The number designation of the heading shall be followed by a period and two
spaces. Omit period at the end of the heading.
(4) Must be separated from the succeeding text by single space.

(5) Font Size to be used is 12 with Bold Face.

(6) In case it is found that first line of the succeeding text starts from the next
page, then this sub-heading should start from the next page using page break.

d. Second sub-headings- 2.2.1.1, 2.2.1.2 etc.. (second sub-headings should be

avoided if possible)
(1) Must be typed on the same line as the text it introduces beginning at the left
margin line of the text.
(2) Must be typed in capital and lower case letters except conjunctions,
prepositions, and articles.

(3) Must be followed by a period at the end of the heading and must be
underscored by a line.

(4) The letter designation shall be followed by a period and single space.
(5) Font Size to be used is 12.
(6) In case it is found that first line of the succeeding text starts from the
next page, then this second sub-heading should start from the next
page using page break.
