A minimalistic IITB thesis template, created as an alternative to https://github.com/psunthar/iitbreport.
iitbthesis.cls only sets the absolutely mandatory requirements as specified in https://www.iitb.ac.in/newacadhome/rules/Dissertation17june09-10.pdf, and nothing more.
For instance, users have to set the header/footer, load bibliography packages, define nomenclature, etc. by themselves.
Advanced TeX users who prefer their own customisations may find this template more convenient.
iitbthesis.cls specifies the following settings
- A4 page size
- 12pt font size
- Times New Roman font through newtx
- Page and header/footer margins through geometry
- Paragraph skip and indentation through parskip
- One-half line spacing through setspace
Additionally, it also provides these commands for front- and back-matter.
\Abstract\Acknowledgement\Approval\Declaration\Dedication\Nomenclature\Publications\TitleSheet
Use cases, and the stipulated ordering of these commands can be found in main.tex, and its output in main.pdf
