Proposal for Project
A research proposal is a document that presents a plan for a project to reviewers for
evaluation. It is actually a road map showing clearly the location from where a journey
begins and the destination to be reached at. The proposal should provide all the necessary
initial information and plan so that the project supervisor can better understand the
problem under study.
The purpose of the project proposal is to:

Present the topic of the project and its importance.
Give an idea to instructor about how you will proceed the project.
Suggest the size of sample, sampling strategy, instrument/tool for data
collection and procedure of data collection, analysis and interpretation.
A proposal is also known as a work plan, prospectus, and outline, statement of intent or
draft plan. It tells us:
What will be done?
Why it will be done?
How it will be done?
Where it will be done?
For whom it will be done?
What is the benefit of doing it?
Format of Proposal for Project
Title page: It should include:

The topic
Name & ID of the student
Name of the University
University Logo
Date of Submission
(Note: Proposal should be no longer than 1500 to 3000 words)
Table of Contents: List the important headings and sub-headings used in the project

proposal with page numbers.
Chapter 1:
1.1 Introduction: It should include:
Problem Statement
Operational definition of variables and concepts
Theoretical frame work of the concepts and variables
Descriptions of the project title i.e. what this project is all about?
1.2 Literature Review: Literature review includes the researches that have been done on
the topic/ variables. All the work which has been done should be searched from the
books, research journals, data bases and sites. The purpose of the Literature review is to
detect what aspects of the topic have been explored and which areas need further
investigation. A researcher has to point out that which aspect has not been investigated
previously and what the present project is going to explore. The researches should quote
citations and references of the literature being reviewed according to APA (American
Psychological Association Guidelines).
(Note: At least ten relevant researches has to be cited in the literature review. Full
text research articles should be sent to the instructor through e-mail)
1.3 Significance of the study: What is the importance and application of your study
should be including in this section. When you are taking into account the importance of
your study, pose yourself the following questions.
.
Why this research is needed?
What will be the outcomes of this research study?

What will be improved or changed as a result of the
proposed research?
How will results of the study be implemented and what innovations will come

1.4 Objectives of the Study

The purpose and objective of the research should be included in this section.
1.5 Hypotheses: A research question poses a relationship between two or more variables
but phrases the relationship as a question; a hypothesis represents a declarative statement
of the relations between two or more variables (Kerlinger, 1979; Krathwohl, 1988).
Hypotheses are relevant to theoretical research and are typically used only in quantitative
inquiry. It is better when Hypotheses will be grounded in the theoretical framework.
e.g. “Private employees are more committed than government employees”
Chapter No 2: Methodology
Explain methodology of your project and provide justification.

purposive sampling. Etc. according to the need of the research
2.4 Fieldwork/Data Collection:

How the data will be collected?
How the quality will be controlled and assured during data collection?
How will the answers about practical issues be answered? For example
if you are going to carry out survey, then think about where and for how
long this survey will be carried out? Will organizations (specify names)
provide you access (physical, time, documents) to what you need for your
project?
2.5 Data Processing & Analysis: (Methods you will use to extract and process the
information you will gather)
How will the analysis be carried out?
Which software package (MS Excel, SPSS, etc.) will be used for data
entry and analysis.
References
