MANUSCRIPT PREPARATION:

The main headings of all items from 2 to18 listed in section 3 should be typed in capital letters
without punctuation and centered 0.5 inches below the top of the page. The text should

Arabic numerals.
Acknowledgement - It should be brief and should not exceed one page when typed double
spacing.
Table of Contents - The table of contents should list all material following it as well as any
material which precedes it. The title page, Bonafide Certificate and Acknowledgement should
not be included in the items listed in the Table of Contents but the page numbers of which are
in lower case Roman letters. One and half spacing should be adopted for typing the matter
under this head.
List of Tables - The list should use exactly the same captions as they appear above the tables
in the document. One and a half spacing should be adopted for typing the matter under this
head.
List of Figures - The list use exactly the same captions as they appear below the figures in the
document. One and a half spacing should be adopted for typing the matter under this head.
List of Acronyms - Abbreviations and acronyms - One and half spacing should be adopted
for typing the matter under this head. Standard symbols, abbreviations etc. should be used.
List of Keywords This list contains the keywords used for documentation.

Appendices - Appendices are provided to give supplementary information, which if included

in the main text may serve as a distraction and cloud the central theme under discussion.

Appendices should be numbered using Arabic numerals, e.g. Appendix 1, Appendix2, etc.

Appendices, Tables and references appearing in appendices should be numbered and

referred to at appropriate places just as in the case of chapters.

V List of References Includes the details of any works of other researchers that are used
either directly or indirectly. The origin of the material thus referred to at appropriate places in
the project should be indicated. A paper, a monograph or a book may be designated by the
name of the first author followed by the year of publication, placed inside brackets at the
appropriate places in the project should be indicated.. The citation may assume anyone of the
following forms.

Tables and Figures

A table or figure including caption should be accommodated within the prescribed margin
limits and appear on the page following the page where their first reference is made.

Tables and figures on half page or less in length may appear on the same page along with
the text. However, they should be separated from the text both above and below by triple
spacing.

All tables and figures should be prepared on the same paper or material used for the
preparation of the rest of the project.

For preparing captions, numerals, symbols or characters in the case of tables or figures,
the computer should be used.

 Photographs if any should be included in the colour Xerox form only.

TYPING INSRUCTIONS

A)

General

This section includes additional information for final typing of the term paper/project.
Some information given earlier under "Manuscript preparation" shall also be referred.
The impression on the typed/duplicated/printed copies should be black in color.
Certain symbols, characters or markings not found on a standard typewriter may be hand
written using Indian Ink. Corrections, interlineations and crossing out of letters or words
will not be permitted in any of the copies of the project intended for submission.
A sub-heading at the bottom of a page must have at least two full lines below it or else it
should be carried over to the next page.
The last word of any page should not be split using a hyphen. One and half spacing should be
used for typing the general text.
Double spacing should be used for typing the Bona fide Certificate and Acknowledgement.

B)

Chapters
The format for typing chapter headings, division headings, sub division headings are

explained through the following examples.

Chapter heading : CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
Division heading : 1.1 OUTLINE OF MINI PROJECT
Sub-division heading: 1.1.2.Literature review
The division and sub-division captions along with their numberings should be left justified,
the typed material directly below it and should be offset 0.5 from the left hand margin. Even
paragraph should commence 3 spaces below the last line of the preceding paragraph, the first
letter in the paragraph being offset from the left hand margin by 0.5.

VII)

NUMBERING INSTRUCTIONS

A)

Page Numbering
All Pages numbers (whether it may be in Roman or Arabic numbers) should be typed

without punctuation on the upper right hand corner. The preliminary pages of the project (such
as Title page, Acknowledgement, Title of contents etc.) should be numbered in lower case
Roman numerals. The title page will be numbered as (i) but this should not be typed. The page
immediately following the title page shall be numbered (ii) and it should appear at the top
right corner as already specified. Pages of main text, starting with Chapter 1 should be
consecutively numbered using Arabic numerals.
B)

Numbering of Chapters, Divisions and Subdivisions

The numbering of Chapters, divisions and subdivisions should be done using Arabic numerals
only and further decimal notation should be used for numbering the divisions and subdivisions
with in a chapter. For example, sub division 4 under division 3 belonging to chapter 2 should
be numbered as 2.3.4. The caption for the sub division should immediately follow the number
assigned to it.
Every chapter beginning with the first chapter should be serially numbered using Arabic
numerals. Appendices included should also be numbered in an identical manner starting with
Appendix.
C)

Numbering of Tables and Figures

Tables and Figures appearing anywhere in the project should bear appropriate numbers.
If a figure in Chapter 3 happens to be the fourth, then assign 3.4 to that figure. Identical
rules apply for tables except that the word Figure is replaced by the word Table. If figures
(or tables) appear in appendices then figure 3 In Appendix 2 will be designated as
Figure A 2.3. If a table to be continued into the next page this may be done, but no line
should be drawn underneath an unfinished table. The top line of the table continued into
the next page should, for example read Table 2.1 (contained) place centrally and
underlined.

10

D)

Numbering the Equations:

Equations appearing in each Chapter or Appendix should be numbered serially, the numbering
commencing a fresh for each Chapter or Appendix. Thus for example, an equation appearing
in Chapter 2, if it happens to be the eighth equation in that Chapter should be numbered (2.8).
Thus:
C(s)

G1G2

-----------=

----------------------- 2.8

R(s)

1+G1 G2

While referring to this equation in the body of the project it should be referred to as Equation
(2.8).
VIII) BINDING SPECIFICATIONS
Project submitted for MCA should be Gray colored hardbound with golden letters.
One softcopy of the demonstration / implementation of the project work carried out should
be submitted in CDs. The demonstration/implementation work to be presented in the
CD should be in the following format.
Create a folder by name MCA (batch no). Create sub folders for documentation, power
point presentations, and implementation separately. The power point presentation folder
should contain all the presentations that are made for each and every review named as
review1, review2, etc and finally final review. The documentation folder should contain
sub folders namely report, read me (both the files are of document type). The readme
document should contain all the steps that are to be performed in order to execute the
implementation right from the installation of the necessary softwares required for the
project, copying the code, how to change settings present if any, and the execution steps.
