Binding
Soft binding (similar to lab instruction manuals, No spiral binding/comb binding) Cover sheet sky blue, printed in black. No of pages About 50 Arrangement of contents

A. Cover page: Title - not very long; ; specific and suggestive of the work carried out (See page 4) B. Inner page: (See page 4, same as cover page) C. Dedication: (Optional) D. Certificate: (See page 5 & 6) Attach the certificate from the company with signature & seal of the external guide if the project work is done at external organisation. . E. Acknowledgement: Max 1 page F. Abstract: About 150 words, highlighting objectives, application issues, innovative aspects, significance of methods, results, crucial conclusions/recommendations. G. Table of contents: Contents to be listed and their page numbers indicated up to a depth of two decimal points only. Eg. 1.1;1.1.1; 1.1.2;1.2;1.2.1 where 1 would be Chapter heading 1.1 would be first level section heading 1.1.1 would be second level sub-section heading eg.., 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 Problem Definition 1.1.1 Context of use 1.1.2 Functional details H. List of Figures/ Tables/ Symbols & Abbreviation used I. Chapters of the report

1. Introduction
1.1 Problem Statement: What is the product being developed/ problem whose solution is being proposed? (one paragraph) 1.2 Current Status: Literature Survey of available information ; Market and user survey of comparable products. (2-3 pages) 1.3 Motivation for the project: Dissatisfaction with existing solutions on technical or economic grounds; Claim of novelty/ superiority of proposed product or solution. (2 paragraphs) 1.4 Organisation of report: A meta-level statement of the chapters and their content; hints for readers especially interested in some particular aspect of the report. (1 or 2 paragraphs)

2. Design Details/Materials and methods/ Theory/ Principles Note: Introduction & Conclusion can be included for all the chapters.
The exact heading and content will depend on the specific project being described. Conceptual block diagrams, alternative design possibilities, required materials, possible methods of implementation, and theory/ principles of operation of the product/mechanism are points likely to be included in this chapter.

3. Implementation/Methodology
This chapter deals with the actual implementation of the design choices made by the project team and described in Chapter 2. Flow charts, functional block diagrams, circuit diagrams and associated descriptions of structure and function will be given here in the case of hardware projects. Flow charts and Pseudo-codes will be dealt with in the case of software projects. If a project

involves both hardware and software, interface and integration details will be presented in this chapter.

4. Results and Discussion


Testing/Evaluation measures, qualitative and quantitative test data and performance comparison based on the data will figure in this section. The comparative data provide the justification for the claim of novelty or superiority of the product being developed. In the case of software projects, techniques and conditions of testing are very important.

5. Conclusions and Scope for Future Work:


Technical/ Commercial decisions/ conclusions that can be based on the work. Refinement/ modifications that can be effected with more time, money and materials. J. Appendix: Additional/ secondary data; detailed circuit diagrams; instructions for users. K. References (according to IEEE Style manual see the examples given) L.
