  5. 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: • What? [the phenomenon] • Who? [Person or group] • Where? [Place] • When? [Period of occurrence] • Why? [Reason for occurrence] • 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.

  6. Suggestion - 2 • Please remember that your thesis MUST offer some NEWS and should NOT be a long essay on some topic.

  7. 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.]
