  1. RBU Synopsis Format

  2. General details • Submit of completed Research Proposal in 8 copies. • The proposal detailing should not be less than 3000 words. This excludes Bibliographical references. • Your statement should be very clear, methodical and logical. Consider using simple sentences and avoid word-jugglery. • You may use audio or/and A-V materials during your Proposal Defense before the Higher Degrees Committee. You should mention about these materials in your synopsis.

  3. Proposal Format • Title of Thesis • Introduction This should include the followings: • Background of study • Historical/Theoretical/Empirical background • Major objectives and scope of study • Major implications/justifications/importance of the study • Brief review of documents related to your research • Structured summaries of not more than 10 items • Topic, methodology, output • After review Major Research Gaps should be identified.

  4. Proposal Format - 2 • Major Research Questions and Hypothesis to indicate original contribution in the field. This will mention • Major issues / relationships /aspects • Methodology • Citation and Bibliography • Use international Reference Style like Chicago Style, APA or Harvard Style.

  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.]

  8. That is all for now. More may come later. THANK YOU!
