🎨 Professional Formatting Tips

  • LaTeX: Highly recommended for a professional look. Use platforms like Overleaf.
  • Hyperlinks: Ensure the Table of Contents is clickable.
  • Image Quality: Don't use blurry screenshots. Use high-resolution exports.
  • Captions: Every figure and table must have a number and a caption (e.g., "Figure 4.2: System Architecture").

🛑 Plagiarism Check

Most colleges allow a maximum of 10% to 20% plagiarism. * Use tools like Quillbot to paraphrase (but don't rely only on it). * Correctly cite every source you use. * Write the Abstract and Conclusion from scratch.

Page Count Hack

Don't fill pages with useless code. Instead, expand your System Design section with more detailed diagrams and explain each diagram in 2-3 paragraphs.
