\section{Impressiveness of \LaTeX{} Type-Setting}
% =====================================================================================================
Welcome to this ``\LaTeX{} Template'', a beautiful and easy to use template for writing a thesis using the \LaTeX{} typesetting system.

If you are writing a thesis (or will be in the future) and its subject is technical or mathematical (though it doesn't have to be), then creating it in \LaTeX{} is highly recommended as a way to make sure you can just get down to the essential writing without having to worry over formatting or wasting time arguing with your word processor.

\LaTeX{} is easily able to professionally typeset documents that run to hundreds or thousands of pages long. With simple mark-up commands, it automatically sets out the table of contents, margins, page headers and footers and keeps the formatting consistent and beautiful. One of its main strengths is the way it can easily typeset mathematics, even \emph{heavy} mathematics. Even if those equations are the most horribly twisted and most difficult mathematical problems that can only be solved on a super-computer, you can at least count on \LaTeX{} to make them look stunning.

% =====================================================================================================
\section{Folder Organization}
% =====================================================================================================
\textbf{Appendices} -- this is the folder where you put the appendices. Each appendix should go into its own separate \texttt{.tex} file.

\textbf{Chapters} -- this is the folder where you put the thesis chapters. A thesis usually has about seven chapters, though there is no hard rule on this. Each chapter should go in its own separate \texttt{.tex} file and they usually are split as:
\begin{itemize}
\item Chapter1: Introduction
\item Chapter2: Literature Survey
\item Chapter3: Problem Formulation
\item Chapter4: Concept Details 1
\item Chapter5: Concept Details 2
\item Chapter6: Problem Implementation
\item Chapter7: Result, Discussion \& Conclusion
\item Chapter8: Future Scope
\end{itemize}

\textbf{ChapterX/Figures} -- this folder contains the all figures related to this chapters of the thesis. These are the final images that will go into the thesis document.

\textbf{FrontMatter} -- this is folder that contain all the material that is required before the Chapters of thesis start, e.g., Abreviattion.tex, Abstract.tex, Acknowledgement.tex, Declaration.tex, Logo.pdf, Notation.tex, and backup of all tex files etc.

\textbf{Latex eBooks} -- A few most important free eBooks downloaded from various websites are given in the \texttt{Latex eBooks} folder. One can go through and/or refer to them as and when required.

\textbf{Missing Packages} -- Some useful packages are provided herewith those may be missing in installed software.

% =====================================================================================================
\section{Other \LaTeX{} Files in Main Folder}
% =====================================================================================================
Included are also several files, most of them are plain text and you can see their contents in a text editor. Luckily, many of them are auxiliary files created by \LaTeX{} or BibTeX and which you don't need to bother about:

\textbf{Bibliography.bib} -- this is an important file that contains all the bibliographic information and references that you will be citing in the thesis for use with BibTeX. You can write it manually, but there are reference manager programs available that will create and manage it for you. Bibliographies in \LaTeX{} are a large subject and you may need to read about BibTeX before starting with this.

\textbf{Thesis Todo List.txt} -- this is a Todo list that provides a simple way to track the thesis progress and also helps you see what parts need attention. Inside is a structured layout for you to enter all this information. Do not try to fill it out all at once, but write the tasks in as you come across them, i.e., write an entry for a figure that needs creating only when you refer to or write about it (and hence need to place it) in the thesis text.

\textbf{PGReports.cls} -- this is an important file. It is the style file that tells \LaTeX{} how to format the thesis. You will also need to open this file in a text editor and fill in your own information (such as name, department, institution). Luckily, this is not too difficult and is explained in section \ref{FillingFile} on page \pageref{FillingFile}.

\textbf{PGReports.pdf} -- this is your beautifully typeset thesis (in the PDF file format) created by \LaTeX{}.

\textbf{PGReports.tex} -- this is an important file. This is the file that you tell \LaTeX{} to compile to produce your thesis as a PDF file. It contains the framework and constructs that tell \LaTeX{} how to layout the thesis. It is heavily commented so you can read exactly what each line of code does and why it is there. After you put your own information into the \texttt{Thesis.cls} file, go to this file and begin filling it in -- you have now started your thesis!

\textbf{vector.sty} -- this is a \LaTeX{} package, it tells \LaTeX{} how to typeset mathematical vectors. Using this package is very easy and you can read the documentation on the site at \href{www.ctan.org}{www.ctan.org}(just look at the \texttt{vector.pdf} file).

\textbf{lstpatch.sty} -- this is a \LaTeX{} package required by this LaTeX template and is included as not all \TeX{} distributions have it installed by default. You do not need to modify this file.

Files that are \emph{not} included, but are created by \LaTeX{} as auxiliary files include:

\textbf{PGReports.aux} -- this is an auxiliary file generated by \LaTeX{}, if it is deleted \LaTeX{} simply regenerates it when you run the main \texttt{.tex} file.

\textbf{PGReports.bbl} -- this is an auxiliary file generated by BibTeX, if it is deleted, BibTeX simply regenerates it when you run the main tex file. Whereas the \texttt{.bib} file contains all the references you have, this \texttt{.bbl} file contains the references you have actually cited in the thesis and is used to build the bibliography section of the thesis.

\textbf{PGReports.blg} -- this is an auxiliary file generated by BibTeX, if it is deleted BibTeX simply regenerates it when you run the main \texttt{.tex} file.

\textbf{PGReports.lof} -- this is an auxiliary file generated by \LaTeX{}, if it is deleted \LaTeX{} simply regenerates it when you run the main \texttt{.tex} file. It tells \LaTeX{} how to build the `List of Figures' section.

\textbf{PGReports.log} -- this is an auxiliary file generated by \LaTeX{}, if it is deleted \LaTeX{} simply regenerates it when you run the main \texttt{.tex} file. It contains messages from \LaTeX{}, if you receive errors and warnings from \LaTeX{}, they will be in this \texttt{.log} file.

\textbf{PGReports.lot} -- this is an auxiliary file generated by \LaTeX{}, if it is deleted \LaTeX{} simply regenerates it when you run the main \texttt{.tex} file. It tells \LaTeX{} how to build the `List of Tables' section.

\textbf{PGReports.out} -- this is an auxiliary file generated by \LaTeX{}, if it is deleted \LaTeX{} simply regenerates it when you run the main \texttt{.tex} file.

So from this long list, only the files with the \texttt{.sty}, \texttt{.bib}, \texttt{.cls} and \texttt{.tex} extensions are the most important ones. The other auxiliary files can be ignored or deleted as \LaTeX{} and BibTeX will regenerate them.

\section{Some Useful Entries}
% =====================================================================================================
To get the best out of this template, there are a few conventions that you may want to follow.

\subsection{References}
% =====================================================================================================
The `\texttt{natbib}' package is used to format the bibliography and inserts references \citep{Zadeh1975, Yager1980} such as this one \citep{Mendel2000}. The options used in the `\texttt{Thesis.tex}' file mean that the references are listed in numerical order as they appear in the text. Multiple references are rearranged in numerical order \citep{Mendel2001, Mendel2002} and multiple, sequential references become reformatted to a reference range.\citep{Mendel2003, Mendel2005, Mendel2006} This is done automatically for you \citep{satvir2008}. To see how you use references, have a look at the `\texttt{Chapter1.tex}' source file.

References should come \emph{after} the punctuation mark if there is one (such as a comma or full stop). On the other hand, footnotes\footnote{Such as this footnote, here down at the bottom of the page.} come \emph{before} the punctuation mark. You can swap these around but the most important thing is to keep the convention consistent throughout the thesis. Footnotes themselves should be full, descriptive sentences (beginning with a capital letter and ending with a full stop).

To see how \LaTeX{} typesets the bibliography, have a look at the very end of this document (or just click on the reference number links).

\subsection{Figure}
% =====================================================================================================
Let's discuss how user can include \index{figures} into his/her THESIS.

% Figure Example
\begin{figure}[htbp]
\centering
\includegraphics[width=3.5in]{Chapter0/Figures/electron.pdf}
\caption{Figure Caption Here - Electron}
\label{fig:1}
\end{figure}

\subsection{Refereing a Figure}
% =====================================================================================================
One can refer to a figure in \TeX file Fig.~\ref{fig:1}

\subsection{Table}
% =====================================================================================================
Many a times we got to design \index{tables} in our THESIS. Here it is the way

% Table Example
\begin{table}[!h]
\centering
\caption{Table Caption Here} \label{Tab:1}
\begin{tabular}{|c|l|}
\hline
\textbf{Transformation}     &   \textbf{Equation}\\
\hline
$\Phi \rightarrow \Phi'$    &   $\Phi'=\Phi+\sin^{-1}[(v/d).\sin \theta_T]$\\
\hline
$x \rightarrow x'$          &   $x'=x+d.\cos\Phi+v.\cos\gamma-d.\cos\Phi'$\\
\hline
$y \rightarrow y'$          &   $y'=y+d.\sin\Phi+v.\sin\gamma-d.\sin\Phi'$\\
\hline\end{tabular}
\end{table}

\subsection{Refereing a Table}
% =====================================================================================================
Refer to any table using label as Table~\ref{Tab:1}

\subsection{Equation}
% =====================================================================================================
% Equation Example 1
\ldots when Einstein introduced his formula
\begin{equation}\label{Eq:1}
E = m \cdot c^2 \;
\end{equation}

which is at the same time the most widely known and the least well understood physical formula.

% Equation Example 2
\ldots from which follows Kirchhoff’s current law:
\begin{equation}\label{Eq:2}
\sum_{k=1}^{n} I_k = 0 \; .
\end{equation}
Kirchhoff’s voltage law can be derived \ldots

\subsection{Refer Equation}
% =====================================================================================================
One can refer to any equation using label specified by the (\ref{Eq:1}) or (\ref{Eq:2}).

\subsection{Index Terms}
% =====================================================================================================
To specify any word in the report index, e.g., Thesis is written as: \index{Thesis}$\backslash$index\{Thesis\}Thesis

% =====================================================================================================
\section{Seminar Report Planning}
% =====================================================================================================
The \emph{M.Tech. Seminar} (100 marks) is a presentation to be made by all PG Students, which is a step towards implementing \emph{Project} (100 marks) and \emph{Thesis}. As per experiential knowledge of Department of ECE, the \emph{Seminar Report} should have three chapters: (1) Introduction and (2) Literature Survey and (3) Presentation Slides. Chapter 1 and 2 may be included in the Project Report and Thesis as they are with minor changes, however, Chapter 3 will be useful in preparing respective presentations.

Outlines of the these chapters is mentioned below:

\subsection{Chapter 1: Introduction}
% =====================================================================================================
Following headings are expected to be included in this introductory chapter:
\begin{enumerate}
  \item Introduction
  \item Motivation
  \item Objectives
  \item Methodology
  \item Thesis outline -- To be added in final Thesis
\end{enumerate}

\subsection{Chapter 2: Literature Survey}
% =====================================================================================================
M.Tech. is a degree in which PG students are expected to have taste of the \emph{Research} in engineering domains. Research guidelines are provided to the students by the faculty of Department of ECE. Based on these guideline, this chapter is organized as follows:
\begin{enumerate}
  \item \textbf{Introduction}: Chapter contents in brief
  \item \textbf{Topic}: Research problem taken up to project and thesis
    \begin{enumerate}
        \item Research Domain,
        \item Research Problem and
        \item Block/Concept Diagram
    \end{enumerate}
  \item \textbf{Historical Developments}: Literature study of 5-10 papers, those might have published in IEEE, Elsevier, Springer or any other journal having some impact factor (No Open Access Journals and Conferences)
    \begin{enumerate}
        \item Block/Module-wise description of what has been already done
        \item What methodologies were followed in various papers (up to latest)
        \item Off-shoots left out by other researchers
    \end{enumerate}
  \item \textbf{Summary of Research Scopes}: Block/concept-wise
  \item \textbf{Conclusions}: Specifying the target problem decided by the student
\end{enumerate}

\subsection{Chapter 3: Presentation PPTs}
% =====================================================================================================
All the presentation slide should be included in this chapter in sequential order.
