(d) Unless colors are significant, Figures, Images and Tables should be printed on gray scale.
(e) Tables and figures appearing anywhere in the project should bear appropriate numbers.
Figures should be numbered as Fig. 1.1 and will be written below the figure while Tables
should be numbered as Table 1.1 and should be written above the Table.
[III] NUMBERING INSTRUCTIONS
(a) Minimum font size is 10-point for page nos. and should be kept consistent throughout the
text.
(b) Equations appearing in the report should be numbered serially, however this should be
followed consistently throughout the text. All the equations should be center aligned.
(c) Equations should be referred within the text, throughout their respective equation numbers.
[IV] MANUSCRIPT PREPARATION
The sequence in which the Project Report should be arranged is as follows:-
(1) Cover Page (Refer Appendix 'A')
(2) Declaration (Refer Appendix ‘B’)
(3) Certificate (Refer Appendix ‘C’)
(4) Acknowledgement
(5) Abstract
(6) Table of Contents
(7) List of Figures
(8) List of Tables
(9) List of Abbreviations, Symbols and Nomenclature
(10) Chapter-1 Introduction [This may include the general introduction of the project, general
background, previous work done in this area]
(11) Chapter-2 Literature Survey (Research Papers from reputed Journals and Conferences of
IEEE, Springer, Elsevier, Taylor & Francis, books and website of Softwares)
(12) Chapter-3 Problem Definition
This should consist of Project objective and Proposed Methodology.
(a) Project Objective (This should highlight the aims and objectives clearly indicating the
scope of the project, the ideas and the approach of proposed work).
(b) Proposed Methodology (This discusses the proposed path of implementation of
the project. A complete block diagram should be given followed by description
of each block).
(13) Chapter-4 Theory (This head should describe the related technology involved in the
project, mathematical concepts used, description of the algorithms, salient features of the
