MVJ COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING
DEPARTMENT OF COMPUTER SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING
FINAL YEAR PROJECT :
GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION OF B.E./B. Tech. PROJECT REPORTS
Project reports should be typed neatly only on one side of the paper with 1.5 or double line
spacing on a A4 size bond paper (210 x 297 mm). The margins should be: Left - 1.25", Right - 1", Top
and Bottom - 0.75".
The total number of reports to be prepared are
One copy to the department
One copy to the concerned guide(s)
Two copies to the sponsoring agency
One copy to the candidate.
3. Before taking the final printout, the approval of the concerned guide(s) is mandatory and suggested
corrections, if any, must be incorporated.
4. For making copies dry tone Xerox is suggested.
5.Every copy of the report must contain
Inner title page (White)
Outer title page with a plastic cover
Certificate in the format enclosed both from the college and the organization where the project
is carried out.
An abstract (synopsis) not exceeding 100 words, indicating salient features of the work. (NB:
four copies of the abstract are to be submitted to the Department on the date of submission
separately)
6.The organization of the report should be as follows
1. Inner title page
2. Abstract or Synopsis
3. Acknowledgments Usually numbered in roman
4. Table of Contents
5. List of table & figures (optional)
Chapters (to be numbered in Arabic) containing Introduction-, which usually specifies the scope
of work and its importance and relation to previous work and the present developments, Main body
of the report divided appropriately into chapters, sections and subsections.
The chapters, sections and subsections may be numbered in the decimal form for e.g. Chapter 2,
sections as 2.1, 2.2 etc., and subsections as 2.2.3, 2.5.1 etc.
The chapter must be left or right justified (font size 16). Followed by the title of chapter
centered (font size 18), section/subsection numbers along with their headings must be left justified
with section number and its heading in font size 16 and subsection and its heading in font size 14.
The body or the text of the report should have font size 12.
The figures and tables must be numbered chapter wise for e.g.: Fig. 2.1 Block diagram of a serial
binary adder, Table 3.1 Primitive flow table, etc.
The last chapter should contain the summary of the work carried, contributions if any, their
utility along with the scope for further work.
Reference OR Bibliography: The references should be numbered serially in the order of their
occurrence in the text and their numbers should be indicated within square brackets for e.g. [3]. The
section on references should list them in serial order in the following format.
1. For textbooks - A.V. Oppenheim and R.W. Schafer, Digital Signal Processing, Englewood, N.J.,
Prentice Hall, 3 Edition, 1975.
2. For papers - Devid, Insulation design to combat pollution problem, Proc of IEEE, PAS, Vol 71,
Aug 1981, pp 1901-1907.
Only SI units are to be used in the report. Important equations must be numbered in decimal
form for e.g.
V = IZ .......... (3.2)
All equation numbers should be right justified.
The project report should be brief and include descriptions of work carried out by others only to
the minimum extent necessary. Verbatim reproduction of material available elsewhere should be
strictly avoided. Where short excerpts from published work are desired to be included, they should
be within quotation marks appropriately referenced.
Proper attention is to be paid not only to the technical contents but also to the organization of
the report and clarity of the expression. Due care should be taken to avoid spelling and typing
errors. The student should note that report-write-up forms the important component in the overall
evaluation of the project
Hardware projects must include: the component layout, complete circuit with the component
list containing the name of the component, numbers used, etc. and the main component data sheets
as Appendix. At the time of report submissions, the students must hand over a copy of these details
to the project coordinator and see that they are entered in proper registers maintained in the
department.
Software projects must include a virus free disc, containing the software developed by them
along with the read me file. Read me file should contain the details of the variables used, salient
features of the software and procedure of using them: compiling procedure, details of the computer
hardware/software requirements to run the same, etc. If the developed software uses any public
domain software downloaded from some site, then the address of the site along with the module
name etc. must be included on a separate sheet. It must be properly acknowledged in the
acknowledgments.
Sponsored Projects must also satisfy the above requirements along with statement of accounts,
bills for the same dully attested by the concerned guides to process further, They must also produce
NOC from the concerned guide before taking the internal viva examination.
The reports submitted to the department/guide(s) must be hard bounded, with a plastic
covering.
Separator sheets, used if any, between chapters, should be of thin pape
