Template for the M.Tech. Thesis

SOME IMPORTANT POINTS
 COLOR COMBINATION for the Cover page of final thesis (i.e. Hard bound copies):
Color of the Front Page: Pistachio Green; Color of Font on the Cover Page: Black.

M.Tech. Thesis
 FONT SIZE on the cover page should be same as provided in this template
 Font and Font size for the general text of the report: Times New Roman 12
 LINE SPACING: 1.5
 MARGINS: At least 2.5 inch on the binding side; 1 inch at top and bottom
 PAGE NUMBERING: Roman numerals till the first page of first chapter. The
chapters to be numbered in the Arabic numerals. The Page number should be
bottom centered
 PAPER TYPE AND SIZE: A4 size Executive Bond Paper
 PRINTING: BOTH SIDE PRINTING
 Number of copies of M.Tech. thesis to be submitted: 5 + number of thesis supervisor(s)
 REFERENCES: List of References should include only those published or accepted for
publication works that are cited in the text. Use of footnotes or endnotes should be
avoided as a substitute for a reference list. Ideally, the names of all authors should be
provided, but for the long author lists “et al” can be used.
Following are two ways of citing the references and preparing the list of references

[A] Citations of the reference in the text by its number in a square brackets i.e. 1.
Negotiation research spans many disciplines [3]; 2. This result was later contradicted by
Becker and Seligman [5]. 3. This effect has been widely studied [1-3, 7].
[A.1] Reference list: The references for such style should be listed and numbered
consecutively in the order of citation.
[B] Citation of the reference by surname(s) of the author(s) directly (or
parenthetically) and year of publications i.e. as demonstrated (Allan and Jones, 1995).
Kramer et al. (2000) have recently shown ....
 1. Single Author: the author's surname (without initials, unless there is ambiguity) and the
year of publication; 2. Two Authors: both authors' surnames and the year of publication;
3. Three or more authors: first author's surname followed by 'et al.' and the year of
publication.
[B.1] List of References: The references for such style should be arranged alphabetically.
Following are the examples of preparing the list of references
