- 1. Guidelines to the procedure of thesis writing How to write a Thesis?
- 2. The word thesis came from a Greek word means “something put forth”. We can also call it as an intellectual proposition. It is a compiled document showcases the research that is being done and is submitted by the students during the period of their M.tech. The Thesis contains all the facts and figures, arguments and suggestions, experiments and results and all other stuff they get to know during their research. The extent of the project depends on the nature of topic, in-depth research and rules and regulations of different universities.
- 3. Thesis Writing revolves around the following main areas Topic Research Synopsis Style Presentation Conclusion
- 4. Choice of the Topic The initial step to begin with the M.Tech thesis writing is to choose an intuitive and easy topic to conduct the research thoroughly and reliably. Choosing a topic can be a daunting task as students have to pick an original and relevant topic which should also serve its purpose in other languages too. It’s usual to get many topics while looking for the perfect one. It’s highly a confusing state of mind where we have options but the choice is not easy to make. Why not make it easy by evaluating each and every topic on the grounds of feasibility, technicality, and usage.
- 5. As thesis is bulky in nature, the students need to make sure about data generation, thorough evaluation, and proper compilation. Support your data with facts, solutions, arguments, and discoveries to make your thesis more interesting and productive. The topic to be chosen should be such that you have some previous basic knowledge about that topic. It should not be the case that my friend is writing on this topic and I should also follow him. This will not do any good. While choosing a topic you should not divert from your core area of study. Choosing a topic from electronics stream if you are from computer science stream is completely illogical. So, take special care of this point while making a selection of topic.
- 6. How to choose a good topic? Check your requirements along with terms and conditions laid down by the college or university. Decide whether you want to work on a completely new topic or work on existing one. The topic should be such that it is able to define a problem with an appropriate solution. Do a deep research on available research papers and articles. List down ideas on a paper and shortlist some of them. From the shortlisted topics, choose that one on which you can write something. Take the help of your mentor.
- 7. Synopsis Selection of the topic is followed by base paper implementation. It means grasping the knowledge from the amount of work that has already been put into your selected topic. Next is the preparation of synopsis report. Remember, a synopsis is an introduction to your report. It must be explicative and well defined as it defines your aims and objectives of the technical research of the topic. Make your synopsis report more appealing with a catchy title that leaves the reader with no ambiguity. The main purpose of the synopsis is to plan about how you are going to fulfill your research goals. It is a short outline of your proposed thesis work.
- 8. What should a synopsis include? Background Detail Outline Time Plan Reference
- 9. Research Research is also essential during thesis writing. The more you will explore, the more you will be able to get into the skin of the topic. Make sure to touch every aspect of the topic and come up with significant findings. The successful completion of this step results into many inferences and students are drawn nearer to the documentation of thesis. After understanding the conclusions in an intelligent way, elaborate all points independently on the grounds of future scope of the topic. At the end, supplement your thesis with discrete appendices which provide complete information to draw a reference. It is the section where you can include information that is vital to mention but can’t be incorporated into the main content. The end page includes all citations and references from which you have drawn facts to support your thesis.
- 10. Style The style of your thesis writing also matters a lot. The style of writing pattern should be formal. The text should be clear and precise with no grammatical errors. The way of writing should be formal. Rather than writing long sentences, focus on short sentences and phrases. Don’t write long paragraphs like these look boring and unimpressive. If possible try to write in points rather than lengthy paragraphs. The points listed should look genuine with facts and arguments.
- 11. Presentation Proper presentation of your work is also essential. It reflects the way how effectively you have presented your work. If there are any diagrams, these should be presented neatly. Don’t spend too much time on designing and beautification of diagrams. Utilize this time in making clear explanations, examining arguments, and checking for errors in the work. Elaborate essential points with facts and figures as these convey the idea more clearly.
- 12. Conclusion Work is complete, now how to conclude? A good conclusion will summarize all the work you have done. You should submit your thesis before the deadline. Remember your deadline and utilize full time to make your thesis as interactive as possible. Go for proofreading to find the underlying errors and mistakes that left unnoticed while you were working on the thesis. Also, make sure that all the work is in accordance with the required thesis format. Don’t forget to include an appendix.
- 13. Thesis Writing Format A standard thesis writing format includes the following components: Title Page Declaration Abstract Acknowledgement Table of Contents Introduction Literature Review Conclusion References Appendices
