Project Report Formulation:

 

The project report should contain the following:  

  • Original copy of the Approved Performa and Project Proposal.  
  • Bio-data of the guide with her/his signature and date.  
  • Certificate of Originality (Format given).
  • Project documentation.  
  • A CD consisting of the executable file(s) of the complete project should be attached on the last page of the project report. In no case, it should be sent separately. The student needs to retain the identical copy of the CD that should be carried while appearing for the viva-voce along with the project report.  

Project Documentation:

  • Project documentation may be about 100 to 125 pages (excluding coding).  
  • The project documentation details should not be too generic in nature.  
  • Appropriate project report documentation should be done, like, how you have done the analysis, design, coding, use of testing techniques/strategies, etc., in respect of your project.  
  • The project report should normally be printed with single line spacing on A4 paper (one side only). All the pages, tables and figures must be numbered. Tables and figures should contain titles.
  • Two copies of the original project report in the bound form along with the CD (containing the executable file(s) of the project should be enclosed in the last page) is to be prepared at the time of final viva.  One copy of the same Project Report and the CD containing the executable file(s) shall be retained by the student, which should be produced before the examiner at the time of viva-voce
