The Structure of Page Arrangements For The Project Report

The Structure of Page Arrangements for the Project Report
The sequel of pages and their hierarchical arrangement play a pivotal role in structuring the
project report properly and interlinking the vital elements of the report in the best possible
format.
Therefore, the best structure and format that has been devised after extensively selecting
studying, analyzing and structuring myriad and versatile project reports include the following
sequel of elements:
1. Title & Cover Page

2. Declaration
3. Approval or Certification
4. Acknowledgements
5. Abstract or Executive Summary
6. Table of Contents
7. List of Figures
8. List of Tables
9. List of Symbols and Abbreviations
10. Introduction
11. Body of the Project & the Chapters
12. Experiments and Results
13. Conclusion and Recommendations
14. Future Scope
15. References
16. Appendices
In the above structure, the first nine pages are known as preliminary pages, and are usually
numbered with the Roman numerals as I, II, III, IV, and so on, except the title page.
All the contents of the project report should be in ‘Times New Romans’ font, and the size should
be 12 throughout. All the text should be left with the ‘justified’ option with line spacing of 1.5, but
for the Captions single spacing should be opted. The length of the overall document should be
around 80 to 100 pages for it to be an effective project report.
Typical Format of the Project Report
Title page
All the letters of the title page must be capitalized, and the title page should not contain page
numbers. The other aspects of the title page like the title should be like a report, and should
contain the name of the organization to which the project is intended to be submitted.
Next, the course name should be followed by the student’s name, his roll number, guide’s name
and designation, and at the end of the title page, organization’s logo and address should be
written..
Declaration and Approval

The declaration is a statement written by the student who declares that he or she has sincerely
completed his or her project. The declaration statement concludes with the signature of the
student.
The Approval page is also a confirmation from the head of the department, guide, and external
examiner about their acceptance of the project. The approval page is endorsed with the
signatures of the heads confirming their approval of the project.
Acknowledgement
The acknowledgement page depicts the gratitude, respect and thankfulness of the student
towards the people who helped him in pursuing the project successfully and ensured successful
completion and implementation of the project. In this page, the author expresses his gratitude
and concern by using praising and thanksgiving words.
Abstract
Abstract represents a summarized report of the complete project in a very concise and
informative format covering main objective and aim of the project, the background information,
processes and methods used, and methodologies implemented, followed with a brief conclusion
of two to three lines talking about the results and scope of the project.
The entire abstract of a project report should be written in about 250 to 350 words, and
therefore, should not exceed any further.
Table of Contents, List of Figures and Tables

Table of contents provides a complete sketch of the title, subtitles, headings, topics and the
project elements that are involved in those headings. In other words, different sections and their
titles are included here.
The whole project report in a nutshell is made known in the table of contents section, and
therefore, it should include the titles of the first, second and third level headers, and must give a
clear picture of the report to the reader. Similarly, a list of figures and tables helps the reader to
locate diagrams, charts and tables in the document, and therefore, it should be numbered
accordingly by chapter and page number. It is not necessary to indicate page numbers for
symbols and abbreviations used in the document.
The Main Body of the Project

The main body of the project should comprise several chapters with the corresponding titles,
and each page within these chapters must be numbered in numerals as page numbers. The
usual way of presenting these chapters is given below.
Chapter 1: Introduction chapter. This chapter should contain brief background information about
the project, the methodology implemented for problem solving and the outlines of the results
and future scope of the project. It rarely contains drawings and graphical illustrations.
Chapter 2: Chapter of Literature Review. It evaluates the current work with the previous one. It
depicts the current implementations that overcome the previous problems and limitations of the
project, and draws the attention and focus on the foreknowledge work that would be conducted
based on the ongoing work at present. It must be clear and simple to understand.
Chapter 3-4 or 5: These chapters describe the overall in-depth information about the project.
These chapters also involve the basic theoretical information about each and every component
& aspect of the project, such as circuit design, simulation implementation and modeling, software
implementation, statistical analysis and calculations done, results gained, and so on.
The appropriate information should always be accompanied with pictorial representations,
tabular demonstrations, diagrams, flow charts, visible graphs, Images, photos other
representations and depictions of the project, along with simulation results with good resolution
and clarity.
Conclusion and Recommendations

The conclusion and recommendations part summarizes the whole report by highlighting all the
chapters and their significance and the importance of the project and about the achievements.
The Recommendations are interlinked with conclusion. The conclusion drawn from the project
report can be further implemented in the recommendation section to overcome the constraints
of the project.
Referencing and Appendices

The project report must be considered as a very standard report, and therefore, it should follow
all rules, guidelines and protocols of gathering and presenting information, and implementing
that and drawing conclusions out of it.
All these activities require appropriate and authentic sources of information and that particular
information must be referenced or cited according to the copyrights and other guidelines.
Therefore, to make the report original, it should be free from plagiarism and must follow
standard citations and guidelines of citations to represent the reference names.
The appendices of a project report should be written in Times New Roman format of font size
10, and it should contain the information which is appropriate and added to the main text
like Embedded C program code, raw data, and so on.
These are the exceptional and very informative guidelines about drafting a project report along
with a very simple, user-friendly project report format for those students who are earnestly
seeking project report format.
