GUIDELINES FOR PREPARATION OF

INTERNSHIP/PROJECT REPORT
Please note that the Internship/project must not be treated as just another assignment.
The Internship/project provides the opportunity to judge the students time and selfmanagement skills and his/her ability to successfully undertake a long and in-depth
study. Hence it is not only the Internship/project that is important, but also the
process itself. Students must therefore ensure that they maintain regular contact
with their Internship/project mentor and also that they provide the supervisor with
drafts of their work at regular intervals.

recommended format. It should be typed on one side. The students will
keep one copy of the project with themselves for their further reference

project undertaken. However it must be at least 125 (approx) typed
pages on A4 size paper. All the students are required to use the uniform
font and format (except in heading and subheadings) throughout the
text of the report. For example, if anybody uses times new roman of

the report

5. The project report must accompany two certificates (one from

organization where you have done your summer training and another
from the school of finance and commerce) authenticating the originality
of the work done in the prescribed format.

source name is not referred in the bibliography section then it will be
treated as a case of plagiarism. (Cheating)

and source of information from which it is collected, is to be mentioned
under each.

Only page numbers should be mentioned at the bottom center of each
page.

to the organization of the report and clarity of expression. Due care
should be taken to avoid spelling errors and typing errors. Spell check
and Grammar check must be applied. It should be noted that reportwrite-up forms the important component in the overall evaluation of
the project.
