Topic for dissertation / research

[Guest guest]

Hi

Narendra feels that the topic should be of guide's choice. Well I beg

to differ on this. Those guides who are not sci updated, are a flop in

guiding the new generation of researchers. Experience does matter but

experience alone is not all. With the info explosion and rapid

progress in sci field, the young rsearchers will do well to shape

their careers well with newer topics rather than re-searching what has

been already researched.If the foundation is not laid well then a high

rise can not be erected later on it!

Yes, the topic for the PG should be from the area of specialisation of

the guide because that way the student will gain the insights in the

work already done and further the research.

I srongly feel that like for PhD scholars, the medical PGs should have

the power of choosing the guide rather than the PG being alloted

randomly by the HOD to the faculty of the department. If the reserach

students weild and exercise the power to select the guide than

naturally because of the process of seletion, the mediocre,

substandard, below par, non-acedemic bufoons will be out of

research.It makes sense to check the mediocracy in the research.
