First phase of dissertation Students are expected to choose their own topic of research by referring the area / field already identified in other two phases. It allows students to identify the broad area / field of Architecture of their interest in which they may intend to do the research. This is to be done by studying and reproducing the brief of technical papers in the form of report review.
Second phase allows the students to do the study of example of research already done by choosing the specific aspect / area relevant to broader field they have selected in first phase. This phase is aimed to understand the method of collecting data (survey methods), analysis of data (statistics and mathematical formulas), drawing inferences and conclusion as attempted by the author of the book.
Third phase involves the review of book/ journal dedicated to that specific aspect or area / the writing of detailed dissertation report and Research paper
