$pdf->SetFont('Arial','B',10);
$pdf->Cell(20,15,"No");
$pdf->Cell(50,15,"Institute Name");
$pdf->Cell(50,15,"Course Name");
$pdf->Cell(50,15,"No. Of Students");
$pdf->Cell(50,15,"Year");

        $sql = "SELECT im.InstituteName,cm.CourseName,COUNT(sm.CourseNo),sm.Year FROM student_master sm,course_master cm,institute_master im WHERE ((sm.Year='".$Year."') AND (sm.InstituteNo='".$InstituteNo."') AND (sm.ZoneNo = '".$ZoneNo."')) AND (im.InstituteNo = sm.InstituteNo) AND (cm.CourseNo = sm.CourseNo) GROUP BY sm.CourseNo ORDER BY im.InstituteName,cm.CourseName";
        $result = mysql_query($sql);
        $No = 0;
        while($rows=mysql_fetch_array($result))
        {
            $No = $No + 1;
            $InstituteName = $rows[0];
            $CourseName = $rows[1];
            $Total = $rows[2];
            $Year = $rows[3];
            $pdf->Cell(20,15,"{$No}");
            $pdf->Cell(50,15,"{$InstituteName}");
            $pdf->Cell(50,15,"{$CourseName}");
            $pdf->Cell(50,15,"{$Total}");
