1.0 INTRODUCTION
All the students have to register for MRP on the scheduled date. The
students will work on the project in the third and fourth semester. Every
student will be assigned a faculty guide at the beginning of the MRP.
Students should be in regular contact with their assigned faculty at all
the stages of evaluation during MRP. In case, any student requires
more time for completion of the project, the same should be informed
to the faculty guide. The student can be granted an extension for a
maximum period of 2 weeks, within which he/she must submit his/her
project. Non-submission of information and reports as per schedule to
faculty guide can lead to award of ‘NC’ (Not Cleared) report. All the
students should join the companies only upon completion of the MRP.

vi) Abstract: The abstract is a summary of what the report is all about. The
purpose of this element is to enable the reader, to gather important
information quickly without having to go through the whole report. An
abstract should be self-sufficient and intelligible, without reference to
any other part of the report. It is never intended as a substitute for the
original document. But it must contain sufficient information to allow
the reader to ascertain his/her interest.
viii) Main Text: This section discusses or describes the main business of the
report. The main function of this part is to present data in an organized
13
form, discuss its significance and analysis, and the results that flow
there from. Usually it has several sections grouped under different
headings and sub-headings. It contains the experimental work/ data
collection, the survey done, a description of activities, the results
obtained/illustrations, the discussion and interpretations, etc.

Whether you should include a glossary in your report or not will depend
upon the target audience. If the reader’s field of expertise is the one to
which your report relates, there is no need for glossary. But if the audience is
drawn from different areas, it is advisable to give a glossary.
