Research Proposal

Note: I have made this proposal from the videos of Face book page “Sindhi Students in China”

Purpose of Research Proposal:

The purpose of research proposal is to write a proposal in which you have command and you want
to work on that topic.
For example: If your topic is wastewater treatment then you have to brief it and give plan to work on
the topic in future. Give methodology of your suggested proposal by which you will work on.

 Proposal must be written on the topic in which you have command!

 Research proposal is the proposal of your research upon which you have to work in future.
 It is not necessary that what you propose the topic, you will conduct the research on that
topic but it is the authority of professors who may change the part or whole of proposal
upon which you will work on.
 There is a great benefit of writing the research proposal that is; if you write research
proposal, you will become good researcher or writer.
 There must not be more than 4 pages in which you have to write your research proposal. If
you could write in 3 pages, its beneficial, because more you concise the things, it will be easy
for supervisors.

How to start writing Research Proposal?

1. First write the Topic in the front page.

2. Then write your Name
3. Then write the name of your proposed supervisor
4. Introduction: from (half to 1 page maximum)
5. Literature Review: write 5 or 6 paragraphs from one research paper (Read research
papers of your related topic of world)
6. Related Studies: write 3 or 4 topics that are related to your main research proposal as
alternatives because some time due to emergency, ongoing project or research work
would be stopped or closed. (Write 3 to 4 related studies)
7. Objectives: (write 3 to 4 points of objectives)
8. Methodology: best way is to make diagram in which you have to show from where your
work starts and where it ends. Most Chinese don’t understand English so if they see the
diagram, it will help them to understand your research work. Make diagram in cycle and
show with arrows how your work will proceed and end.
9. Proposed Results: write 4 to 5 proposed results that you expect. Remember you have not
performed your experiments so you have to write the possible results that may come.
10. Conclusion: conclude the whole research proposal in 3 to 4 lines.

research papers of related topic)
