The top margin must be 2.5 cm, and the left (6 cm in the first page) and right margins must be 1.5 cm. Columns are to be 8.5 cm wide, with a 1 cm space between them. Text must be fully justified, A4 size (21 cm wide by 29.7 cm long, or 8.27 inches by 11.7 inches). If the last page of your paper is only partially filled, arrange the columns so that they are evenly balanced if possible, rather than having one long column.
