Research is most important of all

and research k kafi zada steps hote
like introduction, questionnaire, Data collection, Data analysis, Results , conclusions and abstract
For now just ap apne groups bnalein and topics decide krlein

RESEARCH TOPIC?
to be honest fourth year k level pe research publish hona is a miracle
Apko proper guidance hi ni hoti
and year k end pe apko realize hota k there were many flaws
So try kijiye k har step pe apne tutorial teachers se advices lijiye
they will help you outt
Try to choose simple topics like awareness, determinants etc
Incidence,prevalence, associations are not possible 4th year k level pe
College just expects k ap aek dafa research k procedure se guzar jayein and sare steps krlein
They wont blame you if apki research se koi b meaningful results na ayein
Try kijiye k disease related topic choose krein as dat would be easyyy for you
or daily life k topics like fast foods, cellphone , life style etc
Bus us topics pe previous researches hui hon since end pe apko references deine hotey previous
researches k
You can ask me for help wheneva you wantt
