Is it OK to drop the periods in abbreviations?
I don't understand when or where to use or discard a period when writing short forms.
For example, my college is the Malaviya National Institute of Technology. Should I abbreviate it as M.N.I.T. or is MNIT better?
A second example, for Windows Portable Executable, is it "P.E.", "PE", or "PE."?
Lastly, if I write out my project's name UNMP, should I capitalize all words or just the first one? "Unified Network Management Platform" vs. "Unified network management platform".
I often have this question when writing papers/resumes.
