GUIDELINES FOR PREPARING SYNOPSIS

Formulation of Topic:-

It has been noticed that sometimes the title of the proposed thesis is formulated ingeneral terms. The need, however, is to formulate a topic in such a manner that aresearcher could investigate some specific aspects, dimensions, problems and come out

with some tangible findings, conclusions, theories etc. in his/her investigation.

It is, therefore, suggested that the synopsis which accompany the applicationshould normally incorporate following elements:

(a)Objective of and justification for the choice of Topic : The concerned scholarshould give an elaborate justification in the synopsis as to why the particulartopic is being selected by him/her for research. Here the following pointsshould be particularly dwelt on :

I. Significance and Relevance of Research on the Topic concerned:Here it should be shown how the investigation on the particular topic would berelevant and significant for the advancement of knowledge, or original ideas in thefield concerned. The Social relevance (wherever possible) or significance of thepossible findings can also be mentioned.

11


17/21

II. Extent of existing studies on the topic:(a)Scholar with the help of the supervisor concerned should give a broad account of

the work that has already been carried out on the topic or related aspects of thetopic concerned. It is important that a scholar should have a more or less clearpicture before he/she embarks on his/her research venture in the relevant area or

study. The extent to which the problem has already been studies, the aspects thatremain unexplored so far, broad findings in the area etc. should be kept in view.In his/her synopsis a scholar should point out the aspects of the concerned topicwhich need to be further investigated. It may also be pointed out the conclusionsarrived at many a time are either inadequate or difficult for him/her to agree with.Hence, he/she should also explore the possibilities of arriving at alternativeconclusions or for giving new interpretations etc.

(b)Scope of Research:Having dwelt on the relevance and extent of the existing studies on or around theproposed topic, a scholar should explain the scope, possibilities and potentials in

terms of findings that his research work might offer. It is possible that one mayhave a very tentative view in this regard. It could also happen that in the processof research work the initial views of the scholar might change substantially.However, it is imperative that one should start with clarity about what one wouldbe dealing with. The main aim of research work lies in the fact that in the processof investigative exploration one should develop as a scholar equipped with thenecessary analytical faculties and methodological skills which should helphim/her in future research endeavors.

(c)Structure of thesis:The possible structure of the proposed thesis should be spelt out in the synopsis

even though it may be quite tentative. Generally the structure should stem fromthe foregoing discussions on the significance, scope and possible findings in theproposed work. It is essential that chapterisation should be done on morescientific basis and one chapter should naturally flow from the other so that thereis a continuity of thought and concepts. The content of each chapter should beelaborated in brief with a view to facilitate the Research Board to understandclearly the various aspects of research proposals.

Similarly, conclusion/s should not be simply a summary but should bring out thesalient features of the thesis.

(d)Bibliography:A synopsis should also include a bibliography incorporating major works relevantto the area of study. However, bibliographical data should be presented in theformat that is usually followed in research works of the discipline of the worldover.
