all people who have helped during the research work will be given.
Acknowledgement should preferably come in paragraphs form.
While mentioning the names of the individual, please make sure
that the designation is mentioned clearly there. Researcher is

9. Use of word “I” prohibited: Leaving aside the Acknowledgement,

words like I, ME, OUR, WE etc will not be used in the project

divisions. Each chapter should be given an appropriate title and a
numeral page number.

12. Facts & Findings: All the collected information will come under
the chapter “Facts & Findings”. This may contain the numerical
data, or the information collected through questionnaires. For
example: if in a project study the researcher comes across a fact
that out of 100 people, 80 people like drinking Coke. This piece of
information will come in this chapter.

13. Analysis & Interpretation: This chapter deals with the

application of the concepts taught in the classes to the facts and
findings. The researcher has to analyze the data from a managerial
perspective and interpret in such a manner so that their respective
companies, for gaining benefits, can use it. For example: analysis
of the above collected fact that 80 out of 100 prefers Coke can be
“Since the Coke is having more shelf placement, better distribution
network and more visibility in the eyes of the consumers, people
prefer it more” or it can be interpreted as “Since the advertisement
campaign of ‘Thanda Matlab Coca Cola’ has given coke a better
positioning, people has coke in their TOMA.”

14. Conclusion: Although the conclusion will come under the chapter
“Conclusions & Suggestions”, it will be written as a sub division. It
should be one page approx. in length, detailing all the main issues
and their aftermaths.

15. Suggestions: The researcher should give practical & feasible

suggestions to the company on those critical issues, which were
still away from the eyes of the company. It should be written in
points such that one point focuses on resolving one issue at a
time. The word “Recommendation” should never come in a
student’s project report as they can only give Suggestions at this
stage of life.
 16. Bibliography: It is a section in which all the books, Journals,
other references that have been used to complete the project work
should be written. The researcher should clearly make different
heading as of ‘Books’, ‘Journals’ etc and then write the complete
details of the books or so refereed. Check the way to write the
details in the specimen. Bibliography is not given any page
number.

17. Annexure: Annexures are provided to give supplementary

information, which if included in the main text may serve as a
distraction and would cloud the central theme. Researcher is
required to put one set of the questionnaire that is used in the
research here. Besides this, other materials like any balance
sheets, P&L statements or even Print advertisements, Broachers
etc could be added in this. But these all materials will not be given
any page numbers. Neither the Indian numerals nor the Greek
digits.

18. Final Copies: Before producing final copies of the project report,
researcher should ensure that all spellings, grammar, punctuation
and bibliography is complete and exact. The same must me
