ECONOMICS
As part of your curriculum, a research paper has to be submitted after summer break.
You may choose to write a research paper on any one of the topics suggested in the
list. The paper must have a title page, main content, and references. The paper should
be typed in font size 12 (Times New Roman) and should be 3-5 pages, excluding tables,
diagrams and references.
The project should be submitted in a folder.

7|Page
Steps involved-
1. Students select a general topic for research and make a list of key words to help
search for information and get an overview of their topic.
2. Students become “research hounds” when they spend as much time as possible
finding all the research available. This is probably the most time-consuming part
of the research paper. Students refine their research subject and write a
statement of purpose on their chosen topic.
3. Students brainstorm questions about their focused topic, begin to create an
outline and start thinking about the first draft. They list more key words, identify
the best sources to use, begin making note cards, and create a “working” thesis
statement.
4. Students write the body of their paper from their outline and notes and then the
introduction and conclusion.
5. Students spend time finalizing the citations and completing the Works Cited page.
6. Students now must carefully evaluate, revise, and proofread their paper. This is
one of the most important parts of the process, and it’s also the one that students
tend to do too quickly.
Once finished with the laborious writing of the research paper, they must go
through this part of the process more than once in order to submit their very best
work.
Please Note
1. Submissions after the deadline will not be accepted.
2. Intentional plagiarism to be avoided .
3. The data in the research paper must include various statistical tools, their
interpretation and conclusion must be drawn accordingly.
* PFA a dummy sample to frame your paper.
