Tip 1:
Project objectives should be SMART-Specific, Measurable,
Achievable, Realistic and Timely.

It should focus on what you intend to do in the project.

Objectives are usually headed by infinitive verbs such as:
To identify
To establish
To describe
To determine
To estimate
To develop
To compare
To analyse
To collect
 A literature review is an account of what has been published on a
topic by accredited scholars and researchers. a literature review
surveys scholarly articles, books and other sources
Literature reviews should comprise the following elements:
An overview of the subject, issue or theory under consideration,
along with the objectives of the literature review
Division of works under review into categories (e.g. those in
support of a particular position, those against, and those offering
alternative theses entirely)
Explanation of how each work is similar to and how it varies from
the others

Conclusions as to which pieces are best considered in their

argument, are most convincing of their opinions, and make the
greatest contribution to the understanding and development of their
area of research
Research Methodology
• It refers to the procedures used in making
systematic observations or otherwise obtaining
data, evidence, or information as part of a
research project or study.
• In the research methodology section of project,
you need to describe how you will proceed to
research the problem stated and achieve the
objectives formulated.
• It includes research hypothesis, research model,
research design, sampling design and research
procedure.
1) Research Hypothesis: It is the assumption for your project work. A research
hypothesis is the statement created by researchers when they speculate upon the
outcome of a research or experiment.
2) Research Model: When selecting the research method, it is usually advisable to
consider whether you can base your work on an earlier theoretical model. It is a
diagrammatic representation of the variables selected in the research to study.
3) Research Plan: It includes research design and data collection methods.
Consider the objectives of the study and decide which type of research design you
will use i.e. Exploratory, Descriptive or Causal.
4) Sample Plan: It includes sampling design, sample location, sampling frame,
sampling unit and sample size.
A. Population:
B. Sampling Frame
C. Sampling Unit:
C. Sampling Unit:
E. Sampling Design:
5) Research Procedure: It includes the detailed procedure of your research work
conducted along with the time frame of research. It also includes the statistical
techniques which are expected to be used for the purpose of data analysis. For
example, chi-square test, t-test, z-test, Factor Analysis, Multiple Regression Analysis
etc.
Data Analysis & Interpretation:
Use various charts /diagrams /Statistical tools for analysis of data
collected through Primary/Secondary sources of Information.
Results & Discussion:

analysis, comparing with the existing literature.
Suggestions/Recommendations:
On the basis of findings and results of the research work,
suggestions/recommendations can be drawn.
Limitations and Scope of Future Research:
You must mention the problems faced by you during conduct of
research work. There is always a room for improvement, hence,
you must also mention the scope of research, which can be
conducted in future with respect to the current research.
Conclusion:
This is the overall summary of the report.
