mainly contain the work accomplished in the project, with a small portion devoted to
describing the problem addressed and how others have tackled this or similar problems.
The report should be understandable to your classmates. It should have sufficient detail to
enable the examiners to assess the validity of the approaches used and the results
obtained.

a) Introduction
Introduction could contain the following. (a) brief statement of the problem, (b)
importance/novelty of the problem, (c) related literature - how others have addressed
this or similar problems and the relevant results they obtained (For example, “It has
already been reported [1]……” OR “Jiang et al [2] reported that….” OR “It is known
[3] that….” etc., where [1], [2], [3], should be detailed in the reference section as per
the format given below), (d) scope of the project - precise idea on what is to be
achieved in the work, (e) brief statements on what subsequent chapters contain.

b) Review of Literature : Must recognize the relevant work done earlier in

your selected title
c) Methodology
Provide complete details about the methods applied in study with sufficient logic and
explanation
d) Results and Discussion
This could also be in one or more chapters. These chapters include the specific
details of data generated and results obtained, in graphical and/or tabular form.
Based on the analysis and interpretation of data and results, major findings should be
pointed out unambiguously. It should be noted that the findings are to be
summarized according
 to the significance to the stated objectives, and should complement the latter.
Detailed aspects can be presented in Appendices.

Note: It is very important to draw the figures and prepare the tables yourself. If any
figure or table or data or result or opinion is not yours, cite relevant reference. If you
do not cite reference in such cases, you will be regarded to have plagiarized/stolen
the material. This could lead to punitive action.

e) Conclusions and Recommendations

Conclusions are to be drawn with reference to the previously stated objectives of the
project. This should highlight the major results. Recommendations are often more
important than conclusions.

d) Managerial Implication: Present how your study is useful for management

practitioner.

e) Limitation and Future scope : Provide the limitation of your study and suggest
future research direction.

f) List of References – The listing of references should be typed below the heading
