The word CHAPTER without punctuation should be centered 50mm down from the top of the page. Two spaces below, the title of the chapter should be typed centrally in capital letters.

NUMBERING INSTRUCTIONS 7.1 Page Numbering: All page numbers (whether it is in Roman or Arabic numbers) should be typed without punctuation on the upper right hand corner 20mm from top with the last digit in line with the right hand margin. The preliminary pages of the Seminar (such as Title page, Acknowledgement, Table of Contents etc.) should be numbered in lower case Roman numerals. The title page will be numbered as (i) but
- 5. this should not be typed. The page immediately following the title page shall be numbered (ii) and it should appear at the top right hand corner as already specified. Pages of main text, starting with Chapter 1 should be consecutively numbered using Arabic numerals. 7.2 Numbering of Chapters, Division and Sub-divisions: The numbering of Chapters, division and sub-divisions should be done using Arabic numerals only and further decimal notation should be used for numbering the divisions and sub- divisions within a chapter. For examples sub-division 4 under division 3 belonging to chapter 2 should be numbered as 2.3.4. The caption for the sub-division should immediately follow the number assigned to it. 7.3 Numbering of Tables and figures: Tables and figures appearing anywhere in the Seminar Report should, bear appropriate numbers. The rule for assigning such numbers is illustrated through an example. Thus, if a figure in Chapter 3, happens to be the fourth then assign 3.4 to that figure. Identical rules apply for tables except that the word Figure is replaced by the word Table. 7.4 Numbering of Equations: Equations appearing in each Chapter should be numbered serially, the numbering commencing a fresh for each Chapter. Thus for Example, an equation appearing in Chapter 2, if it happens to be the eighth equation in that Chapter should be numbered (2.8) thus: 2 Vc fc = k Vc + Vw +Va (2.8) While referring to this equation in the body of the Seminar it should be referred to as Equation (2.8). 8. Binding Specifications Seminar Report submitted should be spiral bound using flexible transparent sheet only.
