Font size confusion in LaTeX
I am a beginner in LaTeX and I am not able to resolve the problem. Hopefully, I will get the help here.
I have the following code:
documentclass[12pt]{article}
usepackage{newtxtext,newtxmath}
usepackage{authblk}
renewcommand{Authfont}{fontsize{12}{14.4pt}selectfont}
renewcommand{Affilfont}{fontsize{10}{12}selectfont}
begin{document}
title{textbf{Preparation of Papers for IEEE Sponsored Conferences & Symposia}}
author{Navdeep Singhtextsuperscript{a}, Lakhwinder Kaur textsuperscript{b}, Kuldeep Singh textsuperscript{c}}
affil[a,b]{Dept. of Computer Science & Engg., Punjabi University, Patiala, 147001, Punjab}
affil[c]{Bharat Electronics Ltd, Ghaziabad, U.P, India}
date{}
maketitle
end{document}
and it gives the following output:
Here as we can observe the superscript on the last author's name contains an unwanted '1'. I am not able to find out what is the mistake in my code. Please help me locate it.
Another question I would like to ask is based on the following 2 commands
documentclass[12pt]{article}
renewcommand{Authfont}{fontsize{12}{14.4pt}selectfont}
Both the commands say that the font size is 12pt then why is the font size of title and authors different? I know they both belong to different packages but a given font size of 12pt should remain the same? Isn't it right?
What if I am told by the journal to use a font size of 12pt, how can I be sure which one is right to use. Please advise me.

Welcome to TeX.SE. You asked, "[W]hy is the font size of title and authors different?" Why do you believe that setting a document font size of 12pt makes the title font size equal to 12pt?
– Mico
Dec 16 at 11:48
Thanks! As we have assigned the default font size of the whole document to be 12pt, so I think font size of title should also be 12pt. Btw what is the default size of title?
– Navdeep
Dec 16 at 15:56
The "default font size for the whole document" is generally understood to be the font size for running or "ordinary" text. Titles and sectioning headers are generally typeset in a larger font -- no doubt in order to make these document elements "stand out", visually speaking. In the standard LaTeX document classes, the relative font size for titles -- more precisely, the material contained in the argument oftitle-- is generallyLARGE(ca. 1.7x linear magnification relative tonormalsize). If you want to deviate from this convention, you need to do so explicitly.

You should set the footnotemarker with the optional argument of author:
documentclass[12pt]{article}
usepackage{newtxtext,newtxmath,lipsum}
usepackage{authblk}
renewcommand{Affilfont}{footnotesize}
renewcommand{Authfont}{normalsize}
renewcommandAuthands{, }
begin{document}
title{textbf{Preparation of Papers for IEEE Sponsored Conferences & Symposia}}
author[a]{Navdeep Singh}
author[b]{Lakhwinder Kaur}
author[c]{Kuldeep Singh}
affil[a,b]{Dept. of Computer Science & Engg., Punjabi University, Patiala, 147001, Punjab}
affil[c]{Bharat Electronics Ltd, Ghaziabad, U.P, India}

The title is larger than 12pt.
