STUDENTS GUIDELINE FOR PROJECT REPORT

BACHELOR LEVEL BBA,BBAHT,BBAIB,

Introduction:
All the students will submit their Project Report (in duplicate) within a period of 15 days in the concerned institute; this period shall be counted from the last date of completion of their Project work. Each student will be attached with one internal project guide, with whom they shall be in continuous touch during the period of project work. The internal project guide will be required to evaluate (out of 100 marks) on the basis of the project report and his/her own assessment about the work done by the student. The evaluation of the remaining 100 marks shall be made by external examiner appointed by the University who shall evaluate on the basis of presentation, viva and project report of the students. The total study should be of 60- 70 pages.

PROJECT REPORT FORMAT

Title Page Executive Summary
The Executive Summary is a comprehensive restatement of the documents purpose, scope, methods, results, conclusions, findings, and recommendations. The Executive Summary should be proportional to the length of your paper. For purposes of the project report, there should be 250-word in Executive Summary.

Introduction
The introduction provides the students with background information for the research. Its purpose is to establish a framework for the research, so that the students can understand how it is related to other research. The Introduction has multiple purposes, namely to create student interest in the topic, establish the problem that leads to the study, place the study within the larger context of the scholarly literature, and reach out to a specific audience.

Literature Review
The review of previous research accomplishes several purposes. It shares with the student the results of other studies that are closely related to the study being reported, it relates the study to the larger, ongoing dialogue in the literature about the topic, and it provides a framework for establishing the importance of the study. It can serve as a benchmark for comparing the results of the study with other findings.

Methodology
This section specifies the type of research design utilized in the research, such as the approach to data collection, analysis, and report writing. It should detail the context of the research, e.g. type of organization, jurisdiction, indicate how subjects were selected, e.g. random, key informants, discuss techniques for data collection, e.g. interviews, questionnaire, document review, study of case files, and explain the underlying rationale for these decisions. It may be useful to discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the chosen design.

Analysis
The analysis compares the findings of the study with benchmarks established in the review of literature. It may point out similarities and differences, agreements and contradictions, and explanations for these relationships. Normally, it will not assume a burden of proof or disproof, nor claim superiority or insights not justified by the small sample size or singularity of the subject or methodology. Cautious conjecture, with appropriate language and solid reasoning, however is encouraged.

Conclusions and Recommendations

Although this section does not need to be long, the students have an opportunity to tie up loose ends, summarize findings, and draw inferences. Specific recommendations are a good way of concluding the paper. The student should recommend possible changes in current administrative practices, suggest new methods of management or analysis, or propose changes in ordinances and statutes, for example. The recommendations should flow from the present study and be related directly to the analysis.
