Suggestion : 1
The department suggests that you go for a Pilot
Research before you actually prepare your final
Research Proposal.
Many of the topics may address:
1.
What? [the phenomenon]
2.
Who? [Person or group]
3.
Where? [Place]
4.
When? [Period of occurrence]
5.
Why? [Reason for occurrence]
6.
How? [Reasons for occurrence/s and
applications]
The above order may be different for
different research focus. The top one will be
the main Research Focus.
Suggestion - 2
Please
remember that your thesis MUST
offer some NEWS and should NOT be a
long essay on some topic.
Suggestions - 3
Write
the ‘Title of Research’ at the end.
Design your Title of Research after you
complete your pre-research exercises
and when you are clear about your
Research Problem and Method of
Research. [Read, Think and Talk and
design a Pilot Research Project.]
That is all for now. More may
come later.
THANK YOU!
