I am trying to write my thesis using the class file provided by my university. I have a long table which I want to be in landscape mode. I used pdflscape package and put the table inside \begin{landscape}.. \end{landscape} environment. A very strange (at least to me) is happening when using with \maketitle command available in the class file.
Here is the minimal working example. I have also attached the class file for debugging. The code compiles and creates a landscape page perfectly when the \maketitle is commented out. When we put that command back in, then the pages all get messed up and 1 blank page get added before and after the table and the table gets out of shape as well.
I am not able to figure out what the cause is. I would appreciate any help in this matter.
Code: Select all
