Table of Contents – The table of contents should list all material following it as well as any
material which precedes it. The title page and Bonafide Certificate will not find a place
among the items listed in the Table of Contents but the page numbers of which are in lower
case Roman letters. One and a half spacing should be adopted for typing the matter under this
head. A specimen copy of the Table of Contents of the project report is given in Appendix 3.

the text. One and a half spacing should be adopted for typing the matter under this head.

reference where they are cited.
Footnotes should be used sparingly. They should be typed single space and placed
directly underneath in the very same page, which refers to the material they
annotate.
Appendices – Appendices are provided to give supplementary information, which is included in the
main text may serve as a distraction and cloud the central theme.
