any), operational definitions, structure of the study with sound
justifications/explanations.
Chapter 2 Literature Review: This chapter should reflect the student’s understanding
of the relevant theoretical and empirical background of the problem. For this, it is
expected that a thorough /systematic review of past researches/publications in the area
are made. Publication and indexing databases such as SCOPUS, WoS, Ebscohost,
Google Scholar etc should be helpful in this. Focus should be more on the logical
presentation of the empirical evolution of conceptual and methodological issues
pertaining to research problem. Also highlight the methodological clues drawn through
this review for your project. This exercise helps to identify research gaps that can be
addressed through the project research work.

inferences. This section will vary considerably in both length and content depending on
the nature of the topic. It may include models or systems constructed by the student as
a result of the investigation. Significant features of the findings must be clearly
indicated. Raw data, if appropriate, should be presented in Annexure.
