spaces below it and should be offset 20mm from the left hand margin. Within a division orsub-division paragraphs are permitted. Even paragraph should commence 3 spaces below thelast line of the preceding paragraph, the first letter in the paragraph being offset from the lefthand margin by 20 mm.

8. NUMBERING INSTRUCTIONS

8.1 Page Numbering

All pages numbers (whether it be in Roman or Arabic numbers) should be typed withoutpunctuation on the upper right hand corner 20mm from top with the last digit in line with theright hand margin. The preliminary pages of the project report (such as Title page,Acknowledgement, Table of Contents etc.) should be numbered in lower case Romannumerals. The title page will be numbered as (i) but this should not be typed. The pageimmediately following the title page shall be numbered (ii) and it should appear at the topright hand corner as already specified. Pages of main text, starting with Chapter 1 should beconsecutively numbered using Arabic numerals.

8.2 Numbering of Chapters, Divisions and Sub-Divisions

The numbering of chapters, divisions and sub-divisions should be done using Arabicnumerals only and further decimal notation should be used for numbering the divisions andsub-divisions within a chapter. For example sub-division 4 under division 3 belonging tochapter 2 should be numbered as 2.3.4. The caption for the sub-division should immediatelyfollow the number assigned to it.

Every chapter beginning with the first chapter should be serially numbered using Arabicnumerals. Appendices included should also be numbered in an identical manner starting withAppendix 1.

8.3 Numbering of Tables and FiguresTables and Figures appearing anywhere in the thesis should bear appropriate numbers. The rulefor 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 exceptthat the word Figure is replaced by the word Table. If figures (or tables) appear inappendices then figure 3 in Appendix 2 will be designated as Figure A 2.3. If a table to becontinued into the next page this may be done, but no line should be drawn underneath anunfinished table. The top line of the table continued into the next page should, for example readTable 2.1 (continued) placed centrally and underlined.

8.4 Numbering of Equations

Equations appearing in each Chapter or Appendix should be numbered serially, thenumbering commencing a fresh for each Chapter or Appendix. Thus for example, anequation appearing in Chapter 2, if it happens to be the eighth equation in that Chapter should benumbered (2.8) thus: f - k (2.8)c

While referring to this equation in the body of the thesis it should be referred to as Equation

(2.8).
