-          Follow the template provided as they will impact the length of your paper.

Title Page

-          Include the following on your title page: title of paper, your name, your Roll Number, the course name and year.
-          The title page does not count as one of your pages in terms of the length of the paper.
-          See an example title page.

Format

-          Use 12 point times new roman font (use template).

Abstract


            An abstract is a fifty to hundred word summary of your paper that appears at the beginning of the paper. By reading the paper any one should be able to understand that what is the objective  of the paper and what technical aspects has been presented.

1. Introduction
The introduction should define the problem you are studying, discuss the history of the problem and state its importance in the field. Also, applications of the problem can be discussed. Students are also encouraged to present all the basic examples to illustrate the concepts, using figures if possible. All the basic terminology related to the topic should be defined and explained.
In the introduction, and throughout your paper, it is most important to cite the sources of your information. Sources may include textbooks, magazine or newspaper articles, web sites, and journal articles.

2. Background
In some cases, you may need to divide the introductory material in your paper into two sections. Oftentimes, a second section called the “Background” section is used. In the Background section, additional terms are defined and more historical information, such as previous results and a review of related papers, is give. It is in the Introduction and Background sections that you must ensure that your reader understands the problem and the terminology as well as show the reader that you have done your homework, in terms of your library work.

3. Work DOne
This would include the work which you have done during the study of the topic of your choice. This section may have sub-sections and if there are sub sections they shall be numbered as 3a, 3b etc.

4. Analysis of TErm paper work

5. Conclusions
It is common to include a conclusions section to summarize the content of your paper, discuss future directions, and state any open problems. The conclusion should be between fifty to two hundred words.

Correction in question no 9 of surveying assignment

A chain was tested before starting the survey, and was found to be exactly 20 meters. At the end of the survey, it was tested again and was found to be 20.12 m. Area of the plan of the field drawn to a scale of 1 cm = 8 m was (50 + x) cm2 (where x is the last two digit of your roll number). Find the true area of the field in square meters.
