OBJECTIVE
A summer internship report is a documentation of a student s work a record of the original work
done by the student in the summer internship of 8 week duration.
The objective of this document is to provide a set of guidelines that help a student to prepare the
report to satisfy the requirements of internship report.
The guidelines are general. Student may follow these else any better/ innovative way of presenting
the work done during intern in a form of report is always welcome.
Following is the sequence heading of summer intern report

PAGE DIMENSION AND BINDING SPECIFICATIONS:
The dimension of the intern project report should be in A4 size. The project report should
be bound using flexible cover of the thick white art paper.
PREPARATION AND FORMAT:
Title Page The title of the report should be selected in such a way that it should reflect the
work carried out by the student. Therefore student should select most appropriate title for the
2
work carried out during summer internship. Format of title page of the intern report is given
in Appendix 1.
Certificate The Certificate shall be as per format given in Appendix-II. The content
should have one and half line spacing using Times New Roman Font Size 14.
The certificate shall have details such as name of the student, roll no, title of the summer
intern, duration etc. The above details should be certified by the concern supervisor under
whom the work was carried out. Details such as name of the supervisor, designation, name of
the organization/ academic along with full address of the institution where the supervisor has
guided the student should be furnished. The certificate should be printed on the letter head of
the supervisor/organization.
Acknowledgement: Student should acknowledge the supervisor, organization and others
who have helped for successful completion of the summer internship (one page) .
ABSRACT Synopsis of the work carried out in the 08 week summer internship (200 to 300
words) should be mentioned under abstract of the report.
For most of the students, internship has two parts (i) Training provided by the organization
on facility/system available during initial period of the internship and (ii) Task/problem
assigned/selected by you to solve it. In such cases, abstract should include introduction to the
summer internship training undergone, type of facility /system that was explained, purpose of
it..etc. This should be followed by the information on task assigned to you/task selected to be
explained briefly along with major findings/results, discussions and conclusions of it.
Font Style should be Times New Roman and Font Size 12 with one and half line space. Make
the page settings of your word processor to A4 format; with the margins: bottom 1.5 cm
(0.59 in) and top 2.5 cm (0.98 in), right/left margins must be 2 cm (0.78 in).
Table of Contents The table of contents should list all material following it as well as any
material which precedes it. The Certificate will not find a place among the items listed in the
3
Table of Contents but the page numbers of which are in lower case Times New Roman
letters. One and a half spacing should be adopted for typing the matter under this head. A
specimen copy of the Table of Contents of the project report is given in Appendix II.
List of Tables The list should use exactly the same captions as they appear above the
tables in the text. One and half line spacing should be adopted for typing the matter under
this head.
List of Figures The list should use exactly the same captions as they appear below the
figures in the text. One and half line spacing should be adopted for typing the matter under
this head.
List of Photographs- The list should use exactly the same captions as they appear below the
photographs in the text. One and half line spacing should be adopted for typing the matter
under this head.
List of Symbols, Abbreviations and Nomenclature One and half line spacing should be
adopted or typing the matter under this head. Standard symbols, abbreviations etc. should be
used.
SI units should be followed for dimensional quantities. Appendix-IV provides some
information on SI Units.
CHAPTERS The total summer internship should be broadly divided into two parts (i)
Training of the facility/system available with the organization (ii) Task assigned and solved
by the students. In case of training on the facility available, following chapters needs to be
included in the report. Text should be in Times New Roman 12 font size with one and half
line spacing.

PART-I
CHAPTER: 1 INTRODUCTION
< Times new roman 14 font, BOLD and CAPITAL>
Under this chapter, student should write, briefly, about the general introductory to the
facility/system that was explained to them, its functions, need, benefits, scope of the facility
to undertake for problem solving etc in two pages (maximum).
CHAPTER: 2 LITERATURE REVIEW
< Times new roman 14 font, BOLD and CAPITAL>
Purpose
A literature review is collection of a critical, unbiased, and comprehensive evaluation of
published information in a chosen and specific area of study of interest. It gives a general
understanding of findings of the research work, conclusions, and recommendations and thereby
brings out their strengths and weaknesses. This helps in identifying gaps, scope for further work
and generalized concepts in the existing body of knowledge. A number of sources of information
on literature can be obtained from text books, journals, conference proceedings, project theses,
manuals, encyclopedias, bibliographies, government publications, publications by industrial
organizations, e-databases, worldwide web (ww).. etc.
Under literature review chapter, student should write about the theory related to the facility/
system on which training was provided. Working principle, advantageous and limitations of
the system, applications of the system, Other types of systems available (advanced) and their
merits and demerits..etc . Technical papers/books/conference proceeding/ worldwide web
should be referred in order to write and explain about Other types of system available and
their merits and demerits .
At the end of the chapter, summary on the review of literature should be provided.
There should be separate sub-heading for each topic of the literature as given below.

For example
2.0 LITERATURE REVIEW
2.1 General
2.2 Types of System Available
2.3 Research Works Carried
Apart from a few notable exceptions examined in due course the majority of vehicles
produced in developing countries have been based on obsolete or (rarely) current products
from western manufacturers. Well-known examples include Iran s Paykan [5], based on the
Rootes/Chrysler Arrow series, India s Hindustan Ambassador [6], based on the Morris
Oxford and the almost ubiquitous former Peugeot models assembled across Africa, including
Nigeria, Kenya and Zimbabwe [7]. These models have succeeded largely because the models
built were chosen or modified for the road conditions likely to be encountered, or
modifications made to the bodies offered to accommodate local needs.

2.7 Summary
Tables, figures, photographs should be provided in the appropriate place of the report and
each of these should have a caption as given below.
Figure
A figure should have a caption (title). A short one-line caption is desirable. The word
Figure or the abbreviation Fig. and the figure number (followed by a colon and a space)
precede the caption. Use the chosen word consistently in both the text and the figure caption.
Example
Figure 2.1: Probability Density Function of Population Density
Figures are numbered. The figure number follows a double-numeration system (such as Fig.
2.1) where the first number indicates the chapter number and the second number indicates the
serial number of the figure in that chapter.
Figure caption (along with figure number) appears below the figure and is usually placed
symmetric to the figure.
Table
Every table must have a title. The title appears on the top of the table. It should be
short (preferably one line), clear, and self-explanatory. A subtitle, if necessary, could be
given in parentheses.
Example
Table 2.1: Population of Metropolitan Cities (in million persons)
Right-align numbers in a column if they are integers. And, if the numbers contain decimal
points then the numbers should be decimal-aligned.
7
Photographs
Every photograph must have a title. The title appears at the bottom of the photograph.
It should be short (preferably one line), clear, and self-explanatory.
