List of Figures

This page is mandatory if you have figures in your document. Use Calibri 11 pt, Left Aligned paragraph, Single Line Spacing. Leave 1 line between descriptions of consecutive figure. Microsoft Word can automatically generate (and update if there are any changes to) the List of Figures. Figure 1: The Ancient Sun Temple at Modhera. All graphs and pictures should be called Figures, and should be captioned with numbers. The caption should be Calibri 9 point, with the left indent aligned with the figure. The right indent should also be aligned with the right side of the figure. Paragraph should be leftaligned if it ends in one line, and justified if it extends to multiple lines. The caption for figures should be below the figure, and for tables, it should be above the table. 2 Figure 2: Discipline-wise distribution of graduate students at IIT Gandhinagar.

List of Tables

This page is mandatory if you have tables in your document. Use Calibri 9 pt, Left Aligned paragraph, Single Line Spacing. Leave 1 line between descriptions of consecutive table. Microsoft Word can automatically generate (and update if there are any changes to) the List of Tables. Table 1: Table Captions should be Calibri 9pt, justified, single line spacing, and above the table. Do not try to make sense out of the numbers below, they are for illustration only 3

List of items in Media (or List of Web Resources)

This page is mandatory if you have attached electronic media (such as CD/ DVD/ BluRay/ Flash Memory Pen Drive). Use Calibri 11 pt, Left Aligned paragraph, Single Line Spacing. Leave 1 line between descriptions of consecutive media item/ file. If there is a directory structure, please make a multi-level list with numbers that match those of files in the media. If you do not have electronic media attached to the thesis, but you wish to list web resources (created and owned by you or the institute), you can do so here. For example, you can provide a link to the location where the electronic copy of this thesis is stored. However, please note that this is not the place to list web resources that are created and owned by others. In other words, this is not a list of web references. The proper place for that is at the end of the thesis, as indicated in subsequent instructions.

Chapter 1: Title of Chapter 1 (Will automatically update in the Table of Contents)

Section 1.1 (14pt Calibri, 1.25 line spacing, 24 pt. gap before paragraph, 3 point gap after paragraph)
Subsection 1.1.1 (12 pt Calibri, 1.25 line spacing, 18pt gap before paragraph, 6 point gap after paragraph)
Always begin Chapter on odd page (right side). Normal text starts here. Use Calibri 11 pt font, justified paragraph, 1.25 Line Spacing. Center-align and caption all figures and tables. When referring to figures or tables in the text, use appropriate hyperlinks. For example, marks obtained by the students closely approximate a normal distribution (Figure 1), which is to be expected. However, it can be seen that a few students are doing considerably better than the others (Table 1). Notice the use of hyperlinks for figures and tables. However, previous studies show a different distribution [1], which lead us to conclude that the distribution of marks is affected by regional and cultural variations. Although this conclusion is supported by previous studies [24], it has not been quantified before [5]. Notice the use of references here. Formatting of references is discipline specific. Please see References section at the end of this document for complete understanding.

Subsection 1.1.2
This is the third paragraph. For sample text only.

Figure 1: The Ancient Sun Temple at Modhera. All graphs and pictures should be called Figures, and should be captioned with numbers. The caption should be Calibri 9 point, with the left indent aligned with the figure. The right indent should also be aligned with the right side of the figure. Paragraph should be left-aligned if it ends in one line, and justified if it extends to multiple lines. The caption for figures should be below the figure, and for tables, it should be above the table.

Subsection 1.2.1
This is the 5th paragraph. For illustration only.
Table 1: Table Captions should be Calibri 9pt, justified, single line spacing, and above the table. Do not try to make sense out of the numbers below, they are for illustration only. Left end of the paragraph should be aligned with the left margin of the table. Likewise the right end of the paragraph.

Normal text looks like this. One can calculate the area of a circle using equation (1.1). Notice that the equation number referred to in the text is also a hyperlink. You can simply copypaste equations from the Insert Quick Parts EquationInTable, and then modify properties of the equation. Once you have the EquationInTable (which we have created for students benefit), click on the equation number and Insert Bookmark. In the Bookmark dialog box, you can give an easy-to-remember name to the equation, which will simplify searches when you want to cite the equation number in your text. When you want to cite, just click on Insert Cross Reference, and choose Bookmark, with Paragraph Number (full context) to insert the equation number. (1.1) This simplifies the management of equations and equation numbering in MS Word. More information on this can be found on the blog (http://blogs.office.com/b/microsoftword/archive/2006/10/20/equation-numbering.aspx). Note that the EquationInTable is actually a table with invisible borders, but do not caption this table. If you want to insert another equation in Chapter 2, you can insert the same EquationInTable, and right click on the equation number and choose to re-number it suitably. Equation (2.1) shows how to calculate the area of a sphere of radius r. (2.1) Happy thesising!
