How to Write a Thesis - Guidelines

How to write a Thesis?

• Guidelines to the procedure of thesis writing

2

• 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.
• Its usual to get many topics while looking for
  the perfect one. Its 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.

6
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.

7
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. 

8
What should a synopsis include?

• Background Detail
• Outline
• Time Plan
• Reference

9
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 cant be
  incorporated into the main content. The end page
  includes all citations and references from which
  you have drawn facts to support your thesis.

10
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. Dont 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.

11
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. Dont
  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.

12
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. Dont
  forget to include an appendix.

13

  following components
• Title Page
• Declaration
