Chapterisation is the plan of the dissertation chapter by chapter, and MU prints the skeleton it expects, with a different one for the interdisciplinary project.
In the wording a student can write in an exam: chapterisation is the seventh research design component required by the University of Mumbai and consists of the plan of the dissertation set out chapter by chapter with the content of each stated; the University prescribes a structure of seven chapters for the dissertation, beginning with an Introduction and ending with Conclusion and Suggestions, and a structure of seven chapters for the interdisciplinary project whose sixth chapter is Analysis of data with findings.
MU's two prescribed structures
For the dissertation.
Chapter I Introduction. Chapter II to Chapter VI, left to the student. Chapter VII Conclusion and Suggestions.
For the interdisciplinary project.
Chapter I Introduction. Chapter II to Chapter V, left to the student. Chapter VI Analysis of data with findings. Chapter VII Conclusion and Suggestions.
The difference is one chapter and it is instruction, chapter 910. The project has a prescribed chapter for the analysis of data with findings and the dissertation does not, which tells a student that MU expects the interdisciplinary project to be empirical.
And a dissertation that is empirical should have such a chapter too, even though MU does not prescribe it, because the findings must live somewhere.

What the chapterisation component actually says
Not just a list of chapter titles. For each chapter, a short paragraph saying what it contains and why it is there.
A specimen entry. Chapter II states the content of the duty to inform an accused of the right to free legal services, tracing it from Article 39A through the decisions in Hoskot, Hussainara Khatoon, Khatri and Suk Das, and establishing the stage at which the duty arises and the consequence of its breach. This chapter delivers objective 1 and supplies the legal standard against which the empirical findings in chapters V and VI are measured.
