Can I use Arial or Calibri instead?
No. Amity's official BCom project guidelines specify Times New Roman 12 pt. Using a different font is a formatting error evaluators notice during review.
Is single spacing allowed anywhere?
Body text must be double-spaced throughout. Some students use single spacing inside long tables or figure notes, but the main chapter text—including introduction, literature review, methodology, results, and conclusion—should remain double-spaced per APA 6 requirements.
Other formatting requirements
- Sources cited for all images, tables, and figures
- File format: PDF (.pdf) or Word (.doc, .docx)
- Maximum file size: 2 MB per upload
- Project title: maximum 12 words
