Yes. Amity MBA students can submit their project report in PDF or Word format. Accepted file types are PDF (.pdf), Microsoft Word (.doc), and Microsoft Word (.docx). The maximum file size per upload is 2 MB. This applies to both the extended abstract in Stage 1 and the full project report in Stage 2.
Short answer
- PDF: yes (.pdf)
- Word: yes (.doc, .docx)
- Maximum file size: 2 MB
- Other formats (Google Docs, Pages, LaTeX): not listed—export to PDF or Word before upload
Which format should MBA students choose—PDF or Word?
Either format is accepted. Most students export a final PDF after formatting in Word because PDF preserves layout, fonts, and pagination across devices. Word (.docx) is acceptable if formatting is stable. Avoid uploading editable drafts with track changes or comments visible.
- PDF: best for preserving APA formatting, tables, and charts exactly as designed
- Word: acceptable if file is clean, final, and under 2 MB
- Tip: compress images before inserting to stay under the 2 MB limit
What documents must be in PDF or Word?
- Extended abstract (Stage 1): PDF or Word, max 2 MB
- Full project report (Stage 2): PDF or Word, max 2 MB
- Plagiarism report (Stage 2): submit alongside the report—format per portal instructions
- Signed certificates (Stage 2): typically scanned PDF or image files per portal requirements
What happens if your file exceeds 2 MB?
Uploads over 2 MB will not meet Amity's document requirements. Compress images, reduce chart resolution, remove unnecessary appendices, or split large embedded objects. A 20,000-word MBA report with uncompressed charts frequently exceeds 2 MB if images are not optimized.
Formatting requirements regardless of format
- APA Style, 6th edition
- Times New Roman, 12 pt, double-spaced
- 1-inch margins on all sides
- Running head on every page
- American spellings
