/ll pages numbers !whether it is in (oman or /rabic numbers# should be typed without punctuation on the lower right hand corner. The preliminary pages of the thesis !such as Title page, /cknowledgement, Table of *ontents etc.# should be numbered in lower case (oman numerals.

The numbering of *hapters, division and subEdivisions should be done using /rabic numerals only and further decimal notation should be used for numbering the divisions and subEdivisions within a chapter. 4or e"amples subEdivision 0 under division belonging to chapter should be numbered as ..0. The caption for the subE division should immediately follow the number assigned to it. Kvery chapter beginning with the first chapter should be serially numbered using /rabic numerals. /ppendices included should also be numbered in an identical manner starting with /ppendi" ).

%$Tables and figures appearing anywhere in the thesis should, bear appropriate numbers. The rule for assigning such numbers is illustrated through e"amples. Thus, if a figure of *hapter , happens to be the fourth then assign .0 to that figure. Identical rules apply for tables e"cept that the word figure is replaced by the word Table. If figures !or tables# appear in appendices then figure in /ppendi" will be designated as figure / .. If a table to be continued into the ne"t page this may be done, but on line should be drawn underneath an unfinished table. The top line of
table continued into the ne"t page should, for e"ample read Table .)
