???? Correct IEEE Reference Format (Don't lose marks here!)
Viva examiners randomly pick a reference number and ask you to quote it. Get this EXACT right ??? number ordering in text matches the References list order. Example 8-correct template:
??????? University-Specific Adjustments (India)
- VTU Belagavi: Stick to 14 chapters as above, Annexure 1 Plagiarism Declaration ??? 10% similarity, Black Book spiral binding + colour front cover.
- SPPU Pune: Must include Synopsis (5 pages, signed by Guide) in beginning. Use 2018 SPPU format report template page headers.
- Mumbai University: Certificate must be on college letterhead. Literature Survey needs minimum 10 journal papers, with 3 Mumbai University affiliated authors.
- Anna University Chennai: Annexure IV ??? Internship / In-Plant Training link report (2 pages). Must state "Regulation 2021 / 2022" on cover page.
- JNTU Hyderabad / Kakinada: External examiner copy + college copy + student copy = 3 hard copies. JNTUH plagiarism check < 20% on URKUND.
- GTU Gujarat: Cover page Yellow/Green as per branch, add "GTU Innovation & Startup Centre" acknowledgment page.
- RGPV Madhya Pradesh: Synopsis submission mandatory before mid-term. Open-ended-viva format asks only from Ch. 5-7.
- MDU Haryana / KUK / DU: Minor Project + Major Project: Mid-term review PPT + Final PPT. Final report 70-80 pages including synopsis.
??? Common Black Book Mistakes (Students Lose 15+ Marks Here!)
!1.Mistake 1 ??? Copy-pasting the literature survey verbatim from ChatGPT
Turnitin / URKUND catches 95% of GPT text. Solution: Summarise 3 points per paper in YOUR OWN words. Use our SubmitKit literature survey template with human-written IEEE comparisons ??? they pass plagiarism 100%.
!2.Mistake 2 ??? Same screenshot used 5x in different chapters
Examiner sees it instantly. Solution: 1 unique screenshot per argument + 1 code snippet per module. Add Grad-CAM/TSNE/confusion matrix unique visuals.
!3.Mistake 3 ??? References not matching in-text citation order
Biggest viva fail trigger. Solution: Use Word Cross-reference + Insert Citation tool. Never manually number references.
!4.Mistake 4 ??? Future Scope is "we will add mobile app" (vague)
Bad. Instead: "Phase 2 will integrate the EfficientNetB3 Keras model as a TensorFlow-Lite INT8 .tflite binary on a React Native Android app using CameraX API with real-time 30 FPS leaf disease classification and offline-first SQLite cache." ??? specific, believable.
!5.Mistake 5 ??? Conclusion re-writes the Introduction
Bad. Conclusion should: (a) summarise performance numbers achieved, (b) compare vs baseline numbers, (c) state 1 concrete learning you had during the project. That gets 5/5 marks.
