General Guidelines

 Senior design project completion certificate and FYP mapping with CEP attributes
are to be filled by respective advisor at the end of project (Before submission of final
reports). Without these forms final report will not be acceptable.
 Three copies of the report are required: one will be retained by the supervisor, one
placed in the Faculty library, and the third in the Institute library.
 Chapter 1 should be very straight forward with minimum jargon. It should be simple
enough so that reader belonging to different fields can understand this chapter.
 The Headings and the subheadings defined in the main body structure should be
followed strictly.
 Exceptions are allowed for chapter 3 and 4, depending upon the nature of the project,
with approval of the supervisor.
