Arrangement of a Thesis
A thesis should be arranged in the following order. See Appendices for sample parts
of a thesis.
(a) Front hardcover page.
(b) Gold printed cover page.

(m) List of Publications
(n) Extra blank sheet of unnumbered paper before back hardcover.
(o) Back hardcover.
Parts of a Thesis
(a) Front Hardcover

Use red colored hard cover for Ph.D. thesis.
(2) Use all capital letters (Font Size-14) on cover page.
(3) All letters must be printed in gold color.
(e) Acknowledgement
(1) The generic heading ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS must be in capital letters,
center alignment and bold face.
(2) The acknowledgement page is numbered as i in lowercase Roman
numerals with top-centered position.
(3) See Appendix for Sample Acknowledgement Sheet.
(f) Abstract
(1) Explain briefly the motivation for making the study, the background for the
project, the scope of the research, the purpose of the thesis, the results and the
outcomes.
(2) The abstract appears in the same format as an acknowledgement section.
(3) The abstract should have 500 words maximum.
(4) Number this page with a lowercase Roman numerals ii, iii etc. See

It is commonly accepted style to write numbers less than ten digits in words.
Example:
Incorrect Correct
A total of 4 trials were A total of four trials were
run over a 6 day period. run over a six day Period.
Incorrect Correct
In a test given 6 months later, In a test given six months later,
14 children made no error; 14 children made no errors;
64 made 1 to 2 errors; 64 made one to two errors;
97 made 3 to 4 errors. 97 made three to four errors;
(9) Tables, Figures and Equations: Tables, figures and equations should be
placed into the text as close as possible to their first mention in the text.
Tables, figures and equations should be given the Arabic numbers to indicate
the chapter and sequence in the text. Each table or figure must be given a title.
Example:
Table 5.6. Smokers and Nonsmokers, by Age
Figure 3.4. Block Diagram of Fern Lake
Place the table number at the upper left margin of the table; add a period and
a dash and continue with the title, giving the first and all succeeding full lines
the full width of the table and centering the last, shorter line. The title may be
capitalized headline style.
Example:
Table 5.6. Smokers and Nonsmokers by Age
Smoke Dont Smoke Total
Age
(%) (%) (%)
18.32 30.6 69.4 100
33.47 37.1 62.9 100
48.62 35.2 64.6 100
63+ 30.5 69.5 100
Figures are titled at the bottom of the illustrations. The figure title should be
within the width of the illustration. Short titles are centered.
Large tables or figures would appear on the following page. When referring to
a numbered table, figure or equation, use a capital letter.
Abbreviations may be used for Figure and Equation if they are followed by
numbers only and are used consistently throughout the text. Table is not
normally abbreviated.
Examples:
* Among the three elements tested, Cd was the most toxic (Table 4.1).
* The concentrations of the three metals are shown in Fig. 3.4.
* The concentrations of the three metals are shown in Fig. 3.4 and Fig. 3.5.
If tables, figures and equations are taken from other sources, the source must be
cited and listed in the References section.
(i) Books
[name of author(s), editor(s) or the organization responsible for the book or
document], [full title including subtitle if any, title of series if any and
volume number in the series, volume number or total number of volumes in
a multi-volume work], [edition if not the original], [publishers name if
given, city of publication (use the first city if there is a list) and country],
[date of publication]

(k) Appendices
Appendices may contain tables too detailed for text presentation, a large
group of illustrations, technical notes on method, schedules and forms used in
collecting materials, case studies too long to be put into the text, and
sometime figures or other illustrative materials.
Materials of different categories should be placed in separate appendices.
Where there is more than one appendix, each should be given a number or a
letter e.g. (APPENDIX 1, APPENDIX 2, etc.). or (APPENDIX A,
APPENDIX B, etc.). The Generic heading and the title of an appendix are
both centered, in uppercase and in bold face.
