Abstract

The study aimed to identify problems faced by university students during research work at the university level. The study was descriptive and used a survey method for data collection. The study population was 296 students at the university level. The sample size consisted of one hundred and seventeen (117). A five-point Likert scale questionnaire was used as a research instrument to get the responses from the respondents. The researcher collected the data personally from the sample of the study. It was found that the researchers are facing problems in choosing a topic and choosing the right methodology, moreover choosing the right topic and methodology are crucial and challenging steps for the researchers. Feeling stressed and discouragement during research is a common challenge that faces researchers during the completion of the research project. The university may arrange proper training sessions for research projects and may develop a proper coordination mechanism between researchers and supervisors.
