===========

This is a LaTeX class for preparing PhD, MS, M.Tech and B.Tech thesis according

to the IIT Madras guidelines. The original class, which can be found `here

`_, was last updated in March

2005 and passes some obsolete options to certain packages. In addition, it does

not adhere to certain guidelines like "chapters should start on odd-numbered

pages". This version of the class aims to fix these issues. In order to do so,

the following changes have been made to the original class:

- Removed the obsolete ``compat2`` option from the ``geometry`` package.

- Added ``emptypage`` package to disable page numbering in blank pages.

- Added ``twoside`` option to ``article`` (synopsis) and ``report`` (thesis)

  classes for left-margin adjustment during two-sided printing. Also, you can

  now use ``\cleardoublepage`` to start a new page on the right hand side.

- Added ``openright`` option to ``report`` (thesis) class to ensure chapters

  start on the right hand side (odd page numbers)

- Added ``\pagenumbering{gobble}`` to "Title", "Quotation", "Dedication", and

  "Thesis Certificate" pages to ensure they start on the right hand side (odd

  page numbers)

- Roman page numbering now starts from the "Acknowledgements" page.

This class was tested on TeX Live 2016. Please do not use an older

distribution.
