(3) Must be three spaces below preceding text and two spaces ahead of succeeding text. (4) Font Size to be used is 14 with Bold Face. (5) In case it is found that first line of the succeeding text starts from the next page, then this heading should start from the next page using page break. c. First sub-headings - 2.2.1, 2.2.2 , etc. (1) Must be typed on separate lines beginning at the left margin line of the text, but need not begin a new page. (2) Must be typed in capital and lower case letters except conjunctions, prepositions, and articles. (3) The number designation of the heading shall be followed by a period and two spaces. Omit period at the end of the heading. (4) Must be separated from the succeeding text by three spaces. (5) Font Size to be used is 12 with Bold Face. (6) In case it is found that first line of the succeeding text starts from the next page, then this sub-heading should start from the next page using page break. d. Second sub-headings- 2.2.1.1, 2.2.1.2 etc.. (second sub-headings should be avoided if possible) (1) Must be typed on the same line as the text it introduces beginning at the left margin line of the text.

7. Figures and Tables: Ideally, every result claimed in the text should be documented with data, usually data presented in tables or figures. If there are no data provided to support a given statement of result or observation, one should consider adding more data, or deleting the unsupported "observation." Examine figure(s) or table(s) pertaining to the result(s). Author should assess whether: 1. the data support the textual statement 2. the data contradict the textual statement 3. the data are insufficient to prove The actual figures and tables should be embedded/inserted in the text, generally on the page following the page where the figure/table is first cited in the text. All figures should be numbered and cited consecutively in the text as Figure 2.1, Figure 2.2, to indicate the first and second figures in Chapter 2 respectively. Similarly it is the case with tables such as Table 3.1, Table 3.2, etc. 8. Pagination and Paragraphs Each page in the report or dissertation is expected to bear a number. Only one side of the paper may be used. The following plan should be used exclusively: a. The preliminary section, including the title page; copyright page, if any; foreword, preface, or acknowledgements; table of contents; etc., should be numbered, using lower case Roman Numerals, e.g., i, ii, iii, etc. The title page counts as Page i, but the number does not appear. b. For the remainder of the report, Arabic numbers are used. Each page must be numbered. Page numbers are to be placed 2 centimeters from the top and right hand margins on the pages. 9. Binding Specifications: Beside the supervisor's and personal copies, two copies of the project report should be bound in light Blue color (Matt finish) hard rexin binding with golden engraved letters. Ensure that the side face of thickness of the thesis should have the surname of the students, and month of submission at top and bottom edge respectively. 10. Number of Copies: Two hardcopies (one for supervisor, one for departmental library) along with softcopy of the thesis are to be submitted before the due date to the Department.
