by Amey Karkare, 2007/06/20, updated 2008/03/12 According to the guidelines given on the RSF webpage.

Note

The class file on this webpage, even though based on the guidelines by IIT Bombay, is developed by me to help fellow research scholars. It is not yet approved by IIT Bombay. But I am planning to get it officially approved. Hence ...

A Request

Please drop me a mail (at karkare[AT]cse.iitb.ac.in) if you use the class file provided here for your thesis. This will help me in several ways:

In case of any update or bug fix, I can mail you the latest version.
This page contains a list of users who have used the files here to submit their thesis. If I have a longer list, others will have more confidence to use these files :).
I plan to show the usage statistics to authorities in academic office. This will help to get the class file officially approved by IITB.

iitbthesis.cls - the main class file for IIT Bombay thesis format (version 0.95beta, updated Mar 12 2008) (NOTE: Please change \degree in prelude.tex to \iitbdegree if you are using old version of prelude.tex.)
README - A file describing the usage of iitbthesis.cls
iitblogo.epsi - official IIT Bombay logo
prelude.tex - example file containing the code to generate title and related pages
thesis.tex - example file putting everything together
prelude_synopsis.tex - Can be used instead of prelude.tex for writing Synopsis report. It also contains the code to generate title and related pages
FAQ.txt - Some frequently asked questions
Changes.txt - List of major changes

Usage

To use iitbthesis.cls first time, download the files iitbthesis.cls, iitblogo.epsi, prelude.tex and thesis.tex in the directory where you want to write your thesis. Modify prelude.tex and thesis.tex as per you need. The main class file, iitbthesis.cls, should not be touched.

The class file is still under construction. You can visit this website regularly to get updated versions of the file. To update, you have to download only iitbthesis.cls, and replace the older version with the new one.

I will update the class files and release these changes as and when I get requests from users, and get time to do the necessary changes. You can send me a mail at "karkare[AT]cse.iitb.ac.in" to get information whenever a new version is released.
