An one page abstract should be distributed to the students in the class just before
presentation and the same abstract should be given to the seminar co-ordinators and
seminar evaluation faculties at least one day before.

3.4 Table of Contents

The table of contents should list all material following it as well as any material which
precedes it. The title page and Bonafide Certificate will not find a place among the items
listed in the Table of Contents but the page numbers of which are in lower case Roman
letters. One and a half spacing should be adopted for typing the matter under this head. A
specimen copy of the Table of Contents of a seminar report is given in Appendix 3.

symbols, abbreviations etc. should be used.

3.8 Chapters – The chapters may be broadly divided into 3 parts (i) Introductory chapter, (ii)
Chapters developing the main theme of the seminar work (iii) and Conclusion.

The main text will be divided into several chapters and each chapter may be further divided
into several divisions and sub-divisions like, Methodology, Procedures etc.

full path / link of the related reference. The generic websites like Google, Wikipedia,
howstuffworks etc. should Not be included in the reports.

A typical illustrative list given below relates to the citation example quoted .The below
sample contains the method of writing the list of references if, the reference is, an
international journal, Reference books for particular applications, General fundamental Text
Books, Very specific & special references, Only a specific page or a figure or an equation
which is referred, a web journal (. com), or a web site ( . html) or a link ( .pdf ).

How to show references in the context:

Generally the References will be written in sequential order of appearance in the edited
material and will be given serial ascending numbers. In the “References” they are typed in
the same order. The context of reference, in the material, the Serial number will be given
with in a square bracket. Example: [ 3 ] or [ Ref. 3 ]

3.9.1 Table and figures -

By the word Table, is meant tabulated numerical data in the body of the seminar report as
well as in the appendices. All other non-verbal materials used in the body of the seminar
work and appendices such as charts, graphs, maps, photographs and diagrams may be
designated as figures.
Tables:
Use the same numbering systems as that for figures. The table number and table description
is however at the top of the table. In referring to a particular table the word "table" is always
capitalized
Equations:
Use the same numbering systems as figures and tables. The number is placed at the far right
of the equation and is bracketed. If referred to in the text the word is capitalized and
abbreviated (e.g. Eq 4.3) except at the beginning of a sentence, where it is spelled out.
Footnotes:
Footnotes appear at the foot of the page and are numbered with elevated numerals in
sequence throughout the text and are single spaced. They serve two functions: to clarify or
supplement a particular sentence or portion of the text, or to document a reference or source
of information. They should be used only in unavoidable circumstances.
4.0 TYPING INSTRUCTIONS:

 The impression on the typed copies should be black in colour.

 One and a half spacing should be used for typing the general text.
 The general text shall be typed in the Font style ‘Times New Roman’.
 Line spacing: One and a half spacing.
 Font size: 12 , Font style ‘Times New Roman’ normal.
 Larger fonts may be used for headings & subtitles .( not too large , limit to 14)
 Do not added any additional spacing’s between headings and paragraph.
 Use the very minimum numbers of pages . No separate pages
for writing chapter no - 1, chapter no - 2 etc.. No wastage of recourses.
 No header lines nor footer lines . In short No decorations of any sort.
 Enrich properly each pages of the seminar report. No wastage of space.
  The introduction chapter starts with the Page No 1 .
 The Title page and Bonafide Certificate will not find a place among the items listed in
the Table of Contents but the page numbers of which are in lower case Roman letters.
 The page numbers of Abstract, List of Tables, List of Figures and List of Symbols,
Abbreviations & Nomenclature are in lower case Roman letters.
 For page wise setting and to keep a page as a single unit insert page-breaks options
before and after so that whatever editing’s you do in the document , that will not
affect the edited portion which is inside these page -breaks. What will happen at the
most is generation of some new blank pages. At the end of the editing process delete
these extra blank pages carefully. It is always better to start editing from introduction
to conclusion with insertion of page-breaks.
 Give Page numbers only after final editing.
 Make separate files for certificates , Table of contents, Abstract , List of Tables, List
of Figures and List of Symbols, Abbreviations & Nomenclature . Since they all are of
single page entries. Corrections can be done easily and independently.
5. NUMBER OF COPIES:

Please confirm “ THE NUMBERS OF COPIES REQUIRED ” with the seminar

coordinator before final printing

6. SUBMISSION:

 First the Original and all copies of Seminar Reports should get it signed by your
co-ordinators and Head of Department.
 From the office get College Round Seal on the certificate.
 You should have the original Seminar report with you
 Submit One copy of Seminar Report to co-ordinator /Department .
 Also Submit the Soft copies of your seminar Power Point Presentation and the
Seminar Report in a CD to the co-ordinator / Department . Which will be kept in
digital library and will be made available for all TIST students for future reference
and further studies.
