How Many Words Should an Amity Online MCom Project Report Be?

An Amity Online MCom project report should be 15,000 to 30,000 words for the full report submitted in Stage 2. The extended abstract submitted in Stage 1 must be 3,000 to 5,000 words, including a standalone abstract of 500 to 1,000 words. Your project title cannot exceed 12 words. Reports below 15,000 or above 30,000 words do not meet Amity's official MCom project guidelines.

Short answer: all MCom word limits

• Full MCom project report: 15,000–30,000 words (Stage 2)
• Extended abstract: 3,000–5,000 words (Stage 1)
• Standalone abstract inside extended abstract: 500–1,000 words
• Project title: maximum 12 words
• File size: maximum 2 MB per upload (separate from word count)

Which document gets which limit?

• Stage 1 upload → extended abstract (3,000–5,000 words) + guide resume
• Stage 2 upload → full report (15,000–30,000 words) + plagiarism report + certificates
• Stage 3 → five viva answers (no published word limit)

What if my report is under 15,000 words?

Reports below 15,000 words do not meet handbook requirements. At the MCom postgraduate level, evaluators expect depth in literature review, methodology, and analysis—you will need to expand chapters before upload. A 10,000-word report is too short.

Suggested word allocation for a 20,000-word MCom report

• Chapter 1 Introduction: 2,500–3,500 words
• Chapter 2 Literature Review: 4,000–6,000 words
• Chapter 3 Methodology: 3,000–4,000 words
• Chapter 4 Data Analysis and Results: 4,000–6,000 words
• Chapter 5 Discussion: 2,000–3,000 words
• Chapter 6 Conclusion and Recommendations: 2,000–3,000 words
