your research- 1) At first, you need to write

mention your current knowledge about the field of
research, the gaps and how your research will
help in filling these gaps. 2)The next step is

appraise the published works related to your
field performed by others. You can mention what
you can do in your research to expand those
works. 3) In aim and objectives, you have to

the synopsis is to write the research
methodology. It contains specific procedures or
techniques that are to be used for identifying,
