Quick answer

A BTech project report typically uses about five chapters — Introduction, Literature Review, Methodology/Design, Results & Analysis, and Conclusion — preceded by a certificate and declaration and followed by references and appendices. Body text is Times New Roman 12 pt at 1.5 spacing on A4 with a 1.5-inch binding margin.

Overview

BTech project report overview

A BTech / BSc final-year project report documents an applied project — its problem, design, implementation and results — in a 5-chapter structure following AICTE and university norms. It is shorter and more implementation-focused than a Master's thesis, but uses the same preliminary-page conventions.

For higher degrees see the MTech thesis format and PhD thesis format, or the general thesis-format guide.
