 10. Guidelines for Preparation of Thesis/Dissertations/Project Reports
Preamble:

The content of the Thesis/Dissertation/Project report (hereinafter called as report) must be paid utmost
attention, which is being submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the Doctoral, Post-
graduation and Under-graduation degrees respectively. A Standard format is equally important and may be
prescribed by the University of Mumbai, which helps in bringing uniformity in all the reports and improves
aesthetics of report. The same format shall also be followed in preparation of the final soft copies to be
submitted to the library.

1. Organization of the Thesis/Dissertation/ Project report

This report shall be presented in a number of chapters, starting with Introduction and ending with
Conclusions. It shall be ensured that all the chapters will have a precise title reflecting the contents of the
chapter. A chapter can be subdivided into sections, sub-sections and so on as to present the content
discretely and with due emphasis.

1.1 Introduction:

The title of Chapter 1 shall be Introduction. It shall justify and highlight the problem posed, define the
topic and explain the aim and scope of the work presented in the report. It may also highlight the
significant contributions from the investigation.

1.2 Review of Literature:

This shall normally form Chapter 2 and shall present a critical appraisal of the previous work published in
the literature pertaining to the topic of the investigation. The extent and emphasis of the chapter shall
depend on the nature of the investigation.

1.3 Report on the Present Investigation:

The reporting on the investigation shall be presented in one or more chapters with appropriatechapter titles.

 Due importance shall be given to experimental setups, procedures adopted, techniques developed,
methodologies developed and adopted.
 While important derivations/formulae should normally be presented in the text of these chapters,
extensive and long treatments, copious details and tedious information, detailed results in tabular and

16
 graphical forms may be presented in Appendices. Representative data in table and figures may,
however, be included in appropriate chapters.
 Figures and tables should be presented immediately following their first mention in the text. Short
tables and figures (say, less than half the writing area of the page) should be presented within the text,
while large table and figures may be presented on separate pages.
 Equations should form separate lines with appropriate paragraph separation above and below the
equation line, with equation numbers flushed to the right.

1.4Results and Discussions:

This shall form the penultimate chapter of the report and shall include a thorough evaluation of the
investigation carried out and bring out the contributions from the study. The discussion shall logically lead
to inferences and conclusions as well as scope for possible further future work.

1.5 Conclusions:

This will be the final chapter of the report. A brief report of the work carried out shall form the first part of
the Chapter. Conclusions derived from the logical analysis presented in the Results and Discussions
Chapter shall be presented and clearly enumerated, each point stated separately. Scope for future work
should be stated lucidly in the last part of the chapter.

1.6 Appendix:

Detailed information, lengthy derivations, raw experimental observations etc. are to be presented in the
separate appendices, which shall be numbered in Roman Capitals (e.g.“Appendix I”). Since reference can
be drawn to published/unpublished literature in the appendices these should precede the “Literature Cited”
section.

1.7 Literature Cited:

This should follow the Appendices, if any, otherwise the Conclusions chapter. The candidates shall follow
the style of citation and style of listing in one of the standard journals in the subject area consistently
throughout his/her report, for example, IEEE in the Department of Electrical Engineering, ASME in
Department of Mechanical Engineering. However, the names of all the authors along with their initials and
the full title of the article/monogram/book etc. have to be given in addition to the journals/publishers,
volume, number, pages(s) and year of publication.

17
Reference to personal communications, similarly, shall include the author, title of the communication (if
any) and date of receipt.

1.7.1 Publications by the candidate:

Articles, technical notes etc. on the topic of the report published by the candidate may be separately listed
after the literature cited. This may also be included in the contents. The candidates may also include
reprints of his/her publications after the literature citation.

1.8 Acknowledgements:

The acknowledgments by the candidate shall follow the citation of literature, signed by him/her, with date.

Kindly refer Project Report Format suggested by University of

Mumbai

Reports should be signed by the guide before coming for the presentation. The same should be submitted to the
guide and to the project coordinator.

12. Instructions for Project Presentation

1. Presentation slides should contain more of pictures (if possible) than words, and if words are present,
not more than 2-3 sentences per slide.

2. The slides may range from 5 to 25 as per the requirement, just enough to present in a time span of about
10-12 minutes only.

3. Presentation time is not expected to go beyond 15 minutes, leaving about the same time for question and
answer session.

4. Each group is expected not to cross beyond 30 minutes of time for the entire presentation session.

5. Every member of group is advised to present a short portion of the presentation.

6. Content of presentation should be as simple as possible and lucid in manner.

7. Presentation slides should not be fancy. Use white background for the slides.
