GUIDELINES FOR MINI PROJECT-I

General Guidelines:

1. Consider this miniproject-I as a practical part of the subject System analysis and
design and UML for better learning of the concepts.
2. Student should select the project large enough to justify the weightage.
3. Analysis and design of the whole project has to be completed during this semester.
Implementation and thorough testing is compulsory.
4. Team Size for a Project can be TWO students from same practical batch. It can be
extended to THREE in Special cases with kind permission of concerned Guide.
5. Students must have to submit One copy of project report to the college and one
CD(Including soft copy of report and project code) to the guide for necessary
Evaluation (and use or extension) as a part of term work.
6. Modeling of Analysis and Design phase must be done in UML notations.

NUMBERING
• All pages in the report except the cover pages and dedication page must be numbered.
All the page numbers should be located at the BOTTOM RIGHT of the page.
• The page numbering starting from candidate’s declaration up to the beginning of the
chapters should be numbered in small roman letters, i.e. i, ii, …
• The page numbering starting from the beginning of Chapter 1 up to the end of the
report, should be numbered in Arabic numerals, i.e. 1, 2, 3,….
PREPARATION OF CHAPTERS
Color: All the text including Tables should be Black prints. However, Graphs and Figures
can have color prints.
Font:
Chapter Headings : Times New Roman 16pts, bold, UPPER CASE
Section Headings : Times New Roman 14 pts, bold, UPPER CASE
Subsection Headings : Times New Roman 12 pts, bold, Title Case
Regular Text : Times New Roman 12 pts, normal
Special Text : Times New Roman Italics 12 pts (for foot notes, symbols, quotes...)
SPACING/ALIGNMENT
• Use 1.5 spacing between lines of regular text
• Use double spacing between Paragraphs, Chapter title and section Heading, Section
heading and paragraphs, Table Title and Table, Figure Title and Figure
• Use single spacing between text corresponding to bullets, listing and quotes in the
body of text.
• All paragraphs in the report are to be fully justified from the first line to the last line
and should start from left without any hyphenation/indent. Text corresponding to bullets,
listings and quotes in the main body of text should be indented.
SECTION/SUBSECTION NUMBERING
Section numbering should be left justified using bold print with Arabic numerals and
decimals.
Example: 1.1, 2.1, 1.2.1
FIGURES, DIAGRAMS ,TABLES:
Figures and Tables should follow immediately after/on immediate next page after they are
referred to for the first time in the text. Figure headings should be given at the bottom of the
figure. All figures and tables are to be central aligned on the page. Each drawing is to be
numbered and referred to as Figures only. Diagram title should be similar to figure titles.
Table heading should be given at the top of the table.
REFERENCES
All the references cited inside the text should be documented under the heading
“REFERENCES”. All the references must be informative.
