 ABSTRACT
<Times New Roman, Font 14, Underlined, Bold, CAPS>

The abstract should be well written, clearly defining the objective of the work that was to
be carried out. It should precisely indicate the original project goals that were defined and
if the same have been achieved. If the same were achieved the results of the work must be
high lighted. If the same were not achieved, the reasons for the same must be briefly
explained and it should be explained as to what mid-course corrections were introduced
and what was achieved. (not exceeding 100 words)

2. Methodology: Experimental/Simulation
<Times New Roman, Font 16, Bold>

This section should normally cover design / programming methodologies or

other approaches suggested in the literature. Critical analysis of these and the
reason for choosing a different approach.
(Above number pattern should be followed for Sections and sub-sections

Detailed approach followed for the implementation of the project.

(a) In case of Hardware or Experimental Projectsdetailed experimental

approach followed, measurement setups, process steps, experimental setup
(diagrams) etc.
(b) In case of simulation, modeling, programming techniques, the programming
steps, flow charts, simulation results, verification of the approach followed.
