If you’re in your final year at NMIMS, one of the key submissions you’ll be working on is your project report. Whether you’re from MBA, BBA, PGDM, or any other stream under NMIMS Global Access, the project carries significant weight in your academic performance. And honestly, it’s more than just paperwork—it shows how well you’ve understood the subject and how you’re able to apply it in the real world.
Now, before you get overwhelmed, don’t worry. Here’s a simple and clear guide to help you prepare your final year project report the right way for 2025.
Basic Structure of the NMIMS Project Report
Let’s break this down, section by section. This is the structure that most NMIMS faculties expect. It’s always good to double-check with your assigned mentor or faculty for any changes.
Cover Page: The first page of your NMIMS project report is the cover page, and it must be presented in a simple and professional manner. This page should clearly mention the full name of the university, which is “NMIMS Global Access School for Continuing Education.” Along with that, you need to include the title of your project, your full name, student ID or roll number, your specialization such as Marketing, Finance, or Human Resource, the name of your program like MBA or PGDM, your batch details (for instance, 2022–2025), and the date of submission. It’s important to keep this page neat and formal—avoid using any decorative fonts, colors, or graphic elements. Simplicity and clarity create a good first impression.
Declaration by Student: This is a simple declaration that confirms your project is original and not copied. Just a few lines are enough. Here’s a sample sentence:
“I declare that this project is my original work and has not been submitted elsewhere.”
You also need to sign it.
Certificate from Project Guide (only if applicable): If you had a guide (either from NMIMS or the company where you interned), include a certificate signed by them, preferably on letterhead.
Acknowledgement: In this section, thank the people who helped you during the project—your guide, faculty, company mentor, friends, or even family. Keep it polite and brief.
Table of Contents: List down all the chapters and sub-sections with page numbers. Also include separate lists if you’ve used tables, graphs, or figures.

Formatting Guidelines for Reports
When it comes to formatting your NMIMS project report, it’s important to maintain a clean and professional appearance. Use a standard font like Times New Roman or Arial, with the font size set to 12. The entire report should be formatted with 1.5 line spacing to ensure readability. Maintain uniform margins of 1 inch on all sides of each page, and ensure the content is aligned in a justified manner for a neat look. Page numbers should be placed at the bottom of each page. Once your report is complete, save and submit it in PDF format, as per the university’s submission guidelines. Avoid using coloured text, decorative elements, or fancy fonts—keep the presentation simple and formal.
