After
collecting the necessary information from primary and secondary sources,
substantial number of visits to select companies / organizations and
administering questionnaire / interview schedules, if any, the students are
advised to discuss with their project guides for necessary directions on how to
analyze the data. Based on the project guide’s advice, carryout necessary
tabulation of data, application of statistical tools, testing of hypotheses if
any, and then prepare a plan of chapterization to prepare a project report.
Your compliance with the following format, may enrich the quality of the
report. Please refer to your research methodology course material for deeper
details.

Chapter i: Introduction/ Background
of the problem under study : (company profile/ industry trends etc) This chapter may contain a concise conditions
of the problem under study preliminary from macro economy dimension to micro
inclination, up to date developments in the given characteristic under study.
Brief review on different studies/ review of literature on this theme may add
prosperity to the work. For case studies, a brief profile of the company /
industry should be given

be documented in standard pattern. It is also better to mention the websites
referred for the resultant sources of materials.
vii.
Annexure: Every project report should contain
necessary annexure wherein the proforma of questionnaire / interview schedule
