GUIDELINES FOR B.

TECH PROJECT REPORT

THDC INSTITUTE OF HYDROPOWER ENGINEERING & TECHNOLOGY, TEHRI
(A Constituent College of Uttarakhand Technical University Dehradun)
INSTRUCTIONS:
These guidelines etc. are to be strictly followed to maintain the uniformity in the
reports and there should not be any deviation from the guidelines prescribed in this
document.
In each report a candidate has to take special care to show the correctness and clarity
to each expression. So, the responsibility of these factors always rests primarily on the
candidate.
Student's guide/supervisor will scrutinize each report carefully for these criteria.
There are certain requirements that are to be fulfilled in the reports. Some of them are
the weight of paper used, the title page, and the table of contents. There are some
general instructions that are to be followed.
GENERAL RULES:
Project Reports should be submitted to candidate's advisor for review well in advance
so that the supervisor suggests the necessary changes that should be incorporated in
the reports.
Students will submit 02+ (Number of supervisor) copies of report in Hard Binding in
black colour.
The report should be at least 60 pages (excluding initial pages) one sided print out on
bond paper.
While no specific form needs to be followed, it is suggested that the abstract cover the
following points:
Statement of the problem; procedure or method;
Procedure or method;
Results; conclusions.
It is suggested also that headings, tabular material, chemical formulas, and footnotes
be excluded. Primarily, the abstract should give the information that will enable a
scholar to tell whether he/she wishes to read the complete work.
Project reports submitted for review must be spiral bound.
Candidates desiring multiple copies of their report can use photocopying or equivalent
processes. Declaration, Certificate of Supervisor or Acknowledgements must
immediately precede the Abstract and must be brief, one page or less in length. This is

the proper place for acknowledgements to individuals or organizations. Such

acknowledgements must be made simply.
In general, Tables, Graphs, Charts and Illustrations are special matters usually of a
technical sort, and the proper form must be understood and followed after a candidate
has received instructions from his/her supervisor. To ensure satisfactory reproduction
on microfilm, drawings, graphs, etc., should be prepared in black ink, since colour ink
appears as varying shades of grey.
Only contrasting and clear photocopies of inked drawings are acceptable.
Use of the pronoun such as "I", "We", "You", "He", "They" must be avoided. It is
suggested to use passive voice in such cases.
Listings of the developed computer software should be given in an appendix.
However, if the code is longer than 300 lines the listing should be given in a separate
CD following proper indentation and comments.
PROJECT REPORT STRUCTURE:
The project group should spend enough time to prepare the report. It deals with all
major issues that should be taken in to account in the report. In a report, not only there
is a need of having proper structures but also it should speak about the format of the
text processing.
The project report must have the following in the same sequence:
Cover page
Certificate
Acknowledgement
Abstract
Table of Contents
List of Tables
List of Figures
List of Symbols
List of Abbreviations
Chapter 1 (Introduction, background of the problem, statement of problem

etc.)
Chapter 2 (Literature/Theory Involved)
Chapter 3 (Methodology Used/)
Chapter 4 (Experimentation/Hardware/Software)
Chapter 5 (Results & Discussion)
Chapter 6 (Conclusion & Future Scope)

ABSTRACT
The abstract is to be in fully-justified italicizedtext, at the top of the left-hand column as it is
here, below the author information. Use the word Abstract as the title, in 12-point Times,
boldface type, cantered relative to the column, initially capitalized. The abstract is to be in 1.5
line spacing.It should succinctly summarize the reason for the work, the main findings, and
the conclusions of the study. The abstract should be nolonger than 250 words. Do not include
artwork, tables, elaborate equations or references to other parts of the paper or to the
reference listing at the end. The reason is that the Abstract should be understandable in itself
to be suitable for storagein textual information retrieval systems.

CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
It is the first chapter of the Report. The purpose of an introduction in the B. Tech Project
Report is to justify the reasons for writing about the report. The goal in this section is to
introduce the topic to the reader, provide an overview of previous research on the topic, and
identify the own hypothesis. The goals just mentioned could, if identify the own hypothesis.
The goals just mentioned could, if abused, lead to write an introduction that is pages and
pages long. It can be noted here that the introduction should not contain every bit of detail in
the report, and it should not include support for the report. An introduction might, however,
include the reasons for supporting the report

*Introduction of the problem

*Summarize of previous result
*Researching the problem
*Provided the hypothesis
*Organization of the report
*Other issue
*The dictionary definition
*Memorable quotation
*The telegraphic sentence
Middle Chapters( chapter 2 and soon .)
In some theses, the middle chapters are the articles of which the student
group is the major author.

TEXT PROCESSING INFORMATION:

It is important to note that type format of all report should be uniform .so there is need
to follow few guidelines on typesetting and other aspects .some of such guideline as below:
The original copy shall be typed on 100 gsm (bond paper) white paper. All print out shall be
run on the same grade of paper. Size of paper shall be 210 x 297 mm, i.e. A4.
Only near Letter Quality or sharper dot matrix printer or Laser printer and Ink Jet
printer
And electrical typewriter outputs are acceptable. In case of dot matrix printers or a
typewriter, black ribbon must be used and replenished as frequently as necessary to
