6. NUMBERING INSTRUCTIONS
Page Numbering
The page numbering should be given as mentioned in the section 5. The
page number should be in footer only.
Numbering of Chapters, Divisions and Sub-Divisions
The numbering of chapters, divisions and sub-divisions should be done,
using Arabic numerals only and further decimal notation should be used
for numbering the divisions and sub-divisions within a chapter. For
example, sub-division 4 under division 3 belonging to chapter 2 should be
numbered as 2.3.4. The caption for the sub-division should immediately
follow the number assigned to it.
Every chapter beginning with the first chapter should be serially numbered
using Arabic numerals. Appendices included should also be numbered in
an identical manner starting with Appendix 1.
Numbering of Tables and Figures
Tables and Figures appearing anywhere in the thesis report should bear
appropriate numbers. The rule for assigning such numbers is illustrated
through an example. Thus if as figure in Chapter 3, happens to be the
fourth then assign 3.4 to that figure. Identical rules apply for tables also. If

figures (or tables) appear in appendices then figure 3 in Appendix 2 will be

designated as Figure A 2.3. If a table to be continued into the next page this
may be done, but no line should be drawn underneath an unfinished table.
The top line of the table continued into the next page should, for example
read Table 2.1 (continued) placed centrally and underlined.
Numbering of Equations
Equations appearing in each Chapter or Appendix should be numbered
serially, the numbering commencing a fresh for each Chapter or Appendix.
Thus for example, an equation appearing in Chapter 2, if it happens to be
the eighth equation in that Chapter should be numbered (2.8) thus: The
equations must be prepared in equation editor. It should not be cut or copy
& paste.

n i = n(n +1)

(2.8)
2
While referring to this equation in the body of the thesis report it should be
referred to as Equation (2.8).
i =1

7. BINDING SPECIFICATIONS
The cover page of the report should be prepared in white art paper. The
color of the cover should be white and other contents of the cover should be in
black, logo should be in color as given in the template. All the report copies should
be in hard bound only.
