Project reports should be typed neatly only on one side of the paper with 1.5 line spacing on a A4 size bond paper (210 x 297 mm). The margins should be: Left - 1.25", Right - 1", Top and Bottom - 0.75".
The total number of reports to be prepared is
o One copy to the Department Library
o One copy to the College Library
o One copy to the candidate.
2. Before taking the final printout, the approval of the concerned guide(s) is mandatory and suggested corrections, if any, must be incorporated.
3. For making copies dry tone Xerox is suggested.
4. Every copy of the report must contain
o Inner title page (White)
o Outer title page with a plastic cover
o Certificate in the format enclosed both from the college and the organization where the project is carried out.
An abstract (synopsis) not exceeding 100 words, indicating salient features of the work.
(Note: four copies of the abstract are to be submitted to the Department on the date of submission separately)
6.The organization of the report should be as follows
1. Inner title page
2. Abstract or Synopsis
3. Acknowledgments
4. Table of Contents
5. List of table & figures (optional)
Usually numbered in roman
o Chapters (to be numbered in Arabic) containing Introduction-, which usually specifies the scope of work and its importance and relation to previous work and the present developments, Main body of the report divided appropriately into chapters, sections and subsections.
o The chapters, sections and subsections may be numbered in the decimal form for e.g. Chapter 2, sections as 2.1, 2.2 etc., and subsections as 2.2.3, 2.5.1 etc.
o The chapter must be left or right justified (font size 16). Followed by the title of chapter centered (font size 18),section/subsection numbers along with their headings must be left justified with section number and its heading in font size 16 and subsection and its heading in font size 14. The body or the text of the report should have font size 12.
o The figures and tables must be numbered chapter wise
o The last chapter should contain the summary of the work carried, contributions if any, their utility along with the scope for further work.
Reference OR Bibliography: The references should be numbered serially in the order of their occurrence in the text and their numbers should be indicated within square brackets for e.g. [3].
Only SI units are to be used in the report. Important equations must be numbered in decimal form
o All equation numbers should be right justified.
o The project report should be brief and include descriptions of work carried out by others only to the minimum extent necessary. Verbatim reproduction of material available elsewhere should be strictly avoided. Where short excerpts from published work are desired to be included, they should be within quotation marks appropriately referenced.
o Proper attention is to be paid not only to the technical contents but also to the organization of the report and clarity of the expression. Due care should be taken to avoid spelling and typing errors. The student should note that report-write-up forms the important component in the overall evaluation of the project
o The reports submitted to the department/guide(s) must be hard bounded, with a plastic covering.
o Separator sheets, used if any, between chapters, should be of thin page

9. Cost plus Fluctuating Fee Contract
In this type of contract, the contractor is paid by the owner the actual cost of construction plus an amount of fee inversely variable according to the increase or decrease of the estimated cost agreed first by both the parties.
10. Target Contract
This is the type of contract where the contractor is paid on a cost-plus percentage work performed under this contract. In addition, he receives a percentage plus or minus on savings or excess effected against either a prior agreed estimate of total cost or a target value arrived at by measuring the work on completion and valuing at prior agreed rates.

Indian Contract Act 1872:
Indian Contract Act 1872 is the main source of law regulating contracts in Indian law, as subsequently amended.
It determines the circumstances in which promise made by the parties to a contract shall be legally binding on them. All of us enter into a number of contracts everyday knowingly or unknowingly. Each contract creates some right and duties upon the contracting parties. Indian contract deals with the enforcement of these rights and duties upon the parties.
The Indian Contract Act 1872 sections 1-75 came into force on 1 September 1872. It applies to the whole of India except the state of Jammu and Kashmir. It is not a complete and exhaustive law on all types of contracts.

Arbitration, a form of alternative dispute resolution (ADR), is a legal technique for the resolution of disputes outside the courts, where the parties to a dispute refer it to one or more persons (the "arbitrators", "arbiters" or "arbitral tribunal"), by whose decision (the "award") they agree to be bound.
It is a settlement technique in which a third party reviews the case and imposes a decision that is legally binding for both sides
