2. Report dimension & Binding specifications:
The dimension of the thesis report should be in A4 size and must be hard bound with a plastic
jacket. It is suggested that the printing of cover page should be in contrast to the background
colour of the cover page. The colour of the cover page should be same for a particular branch
in an Institution.
3. Paper & typing dimension
Milk White papers which do not deteriorate rapidly are to be used. The paper must be with
uniformly even edges. Photocopies should be on copy bond available at most reproduction
centers. The report should be typed in one side of the paper only. Whole of the report (except
the cover and title page) should be typed in Times New Roman Font with a font size of 12,
justified and a line spacing of 1.5. Left margin 3 cm, Right margin 2 cm, top margin 2.5 cm
and bottom margin 2.5 cm to be maintained. In case of mathematical expressions Equation
editor is to be used. Each chapter should start at a fresh page with a heading of the chapter
(Appendix – VII).
4. Pagination
Each page must have a number designation, though numbers may be left off the title page and
pages of chapter headings if the student prefers. All pages must be numbered consecutively as
follows:
• Lower-case Roman numerals (i.e., i, ii, iii, iv, v, vi, etc.) are to be used for preliminary
pages. The numerals should appear at the right bottom of the page, approximately 1 cm above
the bottom edge.
• Arabic numerals (i.e., l, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, etc.) are used for the body of the thesis/project. The
numerals appear in the right bottom corner of the page, approximately 1 cm up from the
bottom edge and 1 cm in from the right edge.
• Material inserted after final typing should be numbered as in this example: 21, 21a, 21b, etc.
This expedient should be used sparingly.
• Appendices and the references should be numbered consecutively with the rest of the thesis.
5. Caption of figure & tables
Caption of figures and tables should be provided at the bottom of the table and diagram and
caption of tables should be provided at the top of the table. Captions should be bold Italicized
and should be at the center. Figure and table numbers should be in tune with the chapter
numbers (e.g. the first figure of chapter I should be numbered as Fig. 1.1, first figure of
chapter 2 should be numbered as Fig. 2.1 and so on.)
6. References (Appendix – VIII)
7. Guard Sheets
A blank white page (Preferably thick) must be placed at the beginning and end of the report.
