4.1. Guidelines for Major Project Report

Sufficient time should be allowed for satisfactory completion of reports, taking into account that initial

drafts should be critiqued by the faculty guide and corrected by the student at each stage. The File is the

principal means by which the work carried out will be assessed and therefore great care should be taken

in its preparation.

It is recommended that the student meets the guide regularly during the course of the Major Project, and

maintain a record of the discussions, survey details, derivations etc. Such a system will allow easy and quick

access to the details and chronology of the work. Please read the guidelines carefully and make sure your

report strictly conforms to specifications.
