GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION OF B.E./B. Tech.

PROJECT REPORTS
1. Project reports should be typed neatly only on one side of the paper.
2. Spacing - 1.5 or double line spacing on a A4 size bond paper.
3. Margins - Left – 1.25″, Right – 1″, Top and Bottom – 0.75″.
4. Number copies - One copy to the department
One copy to the concerned guide(s)
Two copies to the sponsoring agency
One copy to the candidate
5. Before taking the final printout, the approval of the concerned guide(s) is mandatory and
suggested corrections, if any, must be incorporated.
6. For making copies dry tone Xerox is suggested.
7. Every copy of the report must contain
 Inner title page (White)
 Outer title page with a plastic cover
 Certificate in the format enclosed both from the college and the organization where the
project is carried out.
 An abstract (synopsis) not exceeding 100 words, indicating salient features of the work.
(NB: four copies of the abstract are to be submitted to the Department on the date of
submission separately)
8. The organization of the report should be as follows:
 Inner title page
 Abstract or Synopsis
 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.
a. For textbooks – A.V. Oppenheim and R.W. Schafer, Digital Signal Processing,
Englewood, N.J., Prentice Hall, 3 Edition, 1975.
b. For papers – David, Insulation design to combat pollution problem, Proc. of IEEE,
PAS, Vol. 71, Aug 1981, pp 1901-1907.
9. Only SI units are to be used in the report.
10. Important equations must be numbered in decimal form for e.g. V = IZ ………. (3.2). All
equation numbers should be right justified.
11. 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.
12. 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.
13. 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.
14. 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.
15. The reports submitted to the department/guide(s) must be hard bounded, with a plastic
covering. Separator sheets, used if any, between chapters, should be of thin paper.
16. Sky blue is the Color of the outer cover/front page of ug dissertation / project report
17. Distribution of marks for B.E. dissertation evaluation
