GUIDELINES FOR THESIS PREPARATION

+
Preparation of report
1. The report needs to be prepared using a standard text processing software and must be
printed in black text (colour for images, if necessary) using a laser printer or letter-quality
printer in standard typeface (Times New Roman).
2. The report must be printed or photocopied on both sides of white paper. All copies of
thesis pages must be clear, sharp, and even, with uniform size and uniformly spaced
characters, lines, and margins. The report should be free from typographical errors.
4. Size and Margins
4.2 The top, bottom, and right-side margins should be 25 mm, whereas the left side
margin should be 30 mm for both textual and non-textual (e.g., figures, tables) pages.
4.3 Content should not extend beyond the bottom margin except for completing a
footnote, last line of chapter/subdivision, or figure/table caption.
5. The general text of the manuscript should be typed with a font size of 12 points with times
new roman, and follows a line in 1.5 spacing. Long tables, quotations, footnotes, multi-line
captions, and bibliographic entries (references) should be in single spacing, with text size in
11 points.
6. All tables and figures should conform to the same requirements as text. Colour may be
used for figures. If tables and figures are large, they may be reduced to the standard size
(provided the reduced area is not less than 50% of the original).
7. Students should submit the printed report copies in a book format (soft binding). Students
should also submit the thesis in soft form (PDF) for storage and archival.
8. Page Numbering
8.1Beginning with the first page of the text in the report (Introduction), all pages
should be numbered consecutively and consistently in Arabic numerals through the
appendices.
8.2 All page numbers should be placed at the bottom of the page, 12 mm from the
bottom edge.
9. Tables, figures, and equations should be numbered sequentially either throughout the
report/thesis or chapter-wise using Arabic numerals. They are referred to in the body of the
text capitalizing the first letter of the word and number, as for instance, Table 17, Figure 24,
Equation (33), or Table 5.3, Figure 3.11, Equation (4.16), etc.
10. All tables (tabulated data) and figures (charts, graphs, maps, images, diagrams, etc.)
should be prepared, wherever possible, on the same paper used to type the text and conform
to the specifications outlined earlier. They should be inserted as close to the textual reference
as possible.
11. Good quality Line drawings/figures/Images/photographs shall be considered for the
report preparation.
12. The total number of pages is limited to 15± 2 for the report. The total count covers from
the introduction to the references section.
