SYNOPSIS/THESIS PREPARATION GUIDELINES

FOR PH. D./ M. PHIL. PROGRAM AT SABARMATI UNIVERSITY (Formerly, Calorx Teachers' University)

Whereas it is essential to encourage and expand M.Phil./Ph.D. Research to make it a more active part of the academic life of the , it is also important to ensure that a reasonable standard of research is maintained. The UniversityT regIulatUes thNrough its bodies like the Research and A IVE Development Committee anRd AMcademic Council that the M.Phil./Ph.D.R Research programs are properly planned and executed to maintain the standards. S A I T A research proposal for BM.Phil./Ph.D. Registration, whether the area of study belongs to Natural Y sciences, Social scienAces, Languages, Computer Sciences, should include certain basic S components, in which a number of questions need to be addressed. Why research on the proposed topic should be undertaken and what gains are likely to be achieved? What has been done previously in this or related areas? What are the objectives of this study and how these will be achieved? Are the facilities required for doing the proposed research available? An extensive initial exercise should help in designing a sound research design, which is likely to make a significant contribution in successful completion of M.Phil./Ph.D. Research. Components of a Synopsis

The following componentsस should be provided in a synopsis of a M.Phil./Ph.D.य Research project. ाब ल The details may, however, varyर aमccording to the field of study. Anyा alteration to the following format may be made in a specific disciplineत ीonly िव with goodि justification.व 1. Title Page

A title page of the synopsis should include title of the research project, name of the student (with qualifications), name of the supervisor(s), place of work and date (month and year) of submission. 2. Topic

The topic for research should be selected carefully. It should be specific and worded to show the nature of work involved as far as possible.

Sabarmati University 72 3. Declaration Must made by the students in the given format

4. Introduction

It should provide a brief description to introduce the area of the proposed research work. 5. Review of Literature

A review of the relevant literature showing the work done previously in the area of proposed research is essential to plan further research effectively. The information given in the review should be supported by rIefereUncesN. 6. Justification and Likely BeneAfitsT IV M ER It is important to proRvide justification for undertaking the propoSsed research, perhaps in the light of previoAus work done. It should be possible in mostIcases to anticipate the T specific and geBneral benefits likely to be achieved as a result of completion of the A Y proposed research. S 7. Objectives

Broad objectives as visualized to be achieved should be clearly outlined and these should be itemized. These objectives will indicate the major aspects of the study to be undertaken.

8. Plan of Work and Methodology

A plan of work describing the various aspects of the study in a logical sequence along with the methodologies to be employed, are the most important aspects of any research plan. स य Sufficient details toाdeबmonstrate that the researcher has a fairlyलgood idea about the nature of work likely to be invरolvedम should be provided. In the cाase of experimental sciences, e.g., which equipments and expeतrimीen tिवal procedurिesवwill be used to obtain the results; in the case of social sciences what resource materials will be used; whether the required information will be obtained from primary or secondary sources, etc. A time schedule for the various aspects of the proposed research may be provided wherever possible.

Sabarmati University 73

9. Place of Work and Facilities Available

In order to complete the proposed research some specialized facilities may be required. For example in case of experimental sciences different equipments may be involved or in the case of, may be, a study on a scholar, the relevant literature may be available in a foreign country. Therefore it is important to identify the place where the research work will be undertaken and whether the resources and facilities required for doing the research are available. 9. References and Bibliography I UN Synopsis should contain at theA endT a list of references,IV and a bibliography if required. M ER These should be writtenR on a standard pattern. S It will be difficult toA define an overall length for a synopsis for Ph.D./M.Phil.I Research in B T such varied fields of study. Whereas it should be concise as far as possible and avoid repetitions, A Y it should also provide sufficient details on the various aspects mentioned above to show that the S research involved has been well understood and planned, and it is of an acceptable academic merit. The total length of a synopsis may run from 1,500 to a few thousand words.
