This is (I think) the first ever LaTeX template for the B.Tech thesis of NIT Trichy (And probably the Masters and PhD theses) too. This template is focused on meeting the specifications for the B.Tech thesis given here but it should be simple to modify it for other degrees as well. It generates the cover page, the bonafide certificate page, the Abstract, Acknowledgements, Table of Contets, lists of figures and tables and the references. The citations need to be entered into a bibtex file (.bib) in the appropriate format and the paper can be cited in the text using \cite{<label>}.
As of now I think I have met most of the specifications. If you see a place where I don't mee the specs feel free to send me a message or start a pull request! :)
The template has separate files to generate the titlepage, abstract and bonafide. You can edit the text in those files to add in your own name, roll number and department. The chapters are also organized in separate files and all the images should be placed inside the images folder.
If you add a new chapter file, make sure you remember to insert it into the main.tex file using \input{ChapterX} following the style of the previous insertions.
I'm compiling using texlive on ubuntu but it should work with MikTeX and other tex comilers on windows and mac as well.
- Install texlive on ubuntu.
- Install latexmk (a perl script that automates compilation):
sudo apt-get install latexmk - Download this repository as a zip file (Or git clone this repo)
cdto the unzipped folder- run
latexmk -pdf -pvc main.tex
