How to write a Thesis?

Page 2: How to write a thesis - Guidelines to Thesis Writing

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.

Thesis Writing revolves around the

following main areas

Topic

Research

Synopsis

Style

Presentation

Conclusion

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Page 11: How to write a thesis - Guidelines to Thesis Writing

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.

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.
