Tips on writing a good proposal
Below are some tips which can help you get your thesis proposal selected in the first go-
1. Always remember that the main purpose of writing a proposal is to convince your guide.
2. Your proposal should look like that you have done enough research about the topic and really want to start with the next step. Though you need not mention each and everything you found in the proposal.
3. You must mention the outcomes and shortcomings of the previous research and also why do you want to start with this topic
4. It should convince the reader that you’ll be able to formulate a testable hypothesis and test it in a planned manner.

Hey Morry
Thanks for this post. I am really confused as to what all should i mention in the proposal. Do i need to include a detailed literature review? because if i don’t, will the research gap be justified? Also, my guide says i must mention the research methodology in the proposal. What if i am not able to gather the targeted data from the primary sources? Is it okay to modify the methodology once it is approved?
