3.7 List of Symbols, Abbreviations and Nomenclature – One and a half spacing should be
adopted or typing the matter under this head. Standard symbols, abbreviations etc. should be
used.

3.8 Chapters – The chapters may be broadly divided into 3 parts (i) Introductory chapter, (ii)

referred to at appropriate places just as in the case of chapters.

 Appendices shall carry the title of the work reported and the same title shall be made in
the contents page also.

3.10 List of References –The listing of references should be typed 4 spaces below the heading
“REFERENCES” in alphabetical order in single spacing left – justified. The reference
