Introduction
Inclusion of project work in the course curriculum of the B.Com. (Transport Management )
programme is one of the ambitious aspects in the programme structure. The main objective of
inclusion of project work is to inculcate the element of research analyse and scientific
temperament challenging the potential of learner as regards to his/ her ea ger to enquire and
ability to interpret particular aspect of the study. It is expected that the guiding teacher should
undertake the counselling sessions and make the awareness among the learners about the
methodology of formulation, preparation and evalua tion pattern of the project work.
There are two modes of preparation of project work
1. Project work based on research methodology in the study area
2. Project work based on internship in the study area
Guidelines for preparation of Project Work
1. General guide lines for prepar ation of project work based on
Research M ethodology
The project topic may be undertaken in any area of Elective Courses.
Each of the learner has to undertake a Project individually under the supervision of a
teacher -guide.
The learner shall decide the topic and title which should be specific, clear and with
definite scope in consultation with the teacher -guide concerned.
University/college shall allot a guiding teacher for guidance to the students based on her /
his specialization.
The project report shall be prepared as per the broad guidelines given below:
Font type: Times New Roman
Font size: 12 -For content, 14 -for Title
Line Space : 1.5 -for content and 1 -for in table work
Paper Size: A4
Margin : in Left -1.5, Up -Down -Right -1
The Project Report shall be bounded.
The project report should be 80 to 100 pages

the study, sign ificance of the study, Selection of the problem, Sample size, Data
collection, Tabulation of data, Techniques and tools to be used, etc can be
incorporated by the learner.
Chapter No. 3: Literature Review
This chapter will provide information about studies done on the respective issue. This
would specify how the study undertaken is relevant and contribute for value addition
in information/ knowledge/ application of study area which ultimately helps the
learner to undertake further study on same issue.
Chapt er No. 4: Data Analysis, Interpretation and Presentation
This chapter is the core part of the study. The analysis pertaining to collected data
will be done by the learner. The application of selected tools or techniques will be
used to arrive at findings. In this, table of information’s, presentation of graphs etc.
can be provided with interpretation by the learner.
