Dear Sri Kuldeep Singh,

Thanks for your mail. 

Practically speaking, Synopsis (for a proposed Dissertation work which needs to be submitted beforehand) explains the issue (to highlight the purpose and feasibility of the proposed work) and the ways and means by  which the researcher tries to do the work and the expected/presumed aftermath!! While to start with, a short review of literature at the Introduction part may certainly explain the issue & highlight its importance.

As such, you have broadly three points

A) General Introduction of the Issue

A.1) A Short Review of Literature

B) Discussion  (About the Proposed work, its usefulness; What do you expect out of it etc.etc.)

C) Your Plan to do the work.

Here you have to explain & highlight the Methodologies to be adopted & How you have planned to proceed with the work, In case you need any specific Databases or Softwares you have to write it clearly and you have to emphasize WHY this/these particular Software(s)/Database(s) have been used?

Now You have to write ABOUT THE "OBSERVATION" part. It may appear rather funny or confusing because it is like the Bengali proverb  Writing the Ramayana before Rama was Born!! while actually, you have to elicit what you EXPECT to OBSERVE (that is what is related to the purpose of the work!!)

In a completed work (Dissertation), next comes the RESULT, then another round of DISCUSSION and lastly the INFERENCE.

Here in the Synopsis, of Course you have to SKIP Many subtle things and issues as you have yet to complete the job. But here you can LATENTLY express what you are supposed to find out.

Then there should be a moderately big paragraph to WRAP UP the entire project

Incidentally, many Universities often provide the tentative number of words for the Synopsis but usually a synopsis becomes 5 to 7 pages long (except any chart or graphs).

To conclude, I should rather confess that I have gone through your post and seen that you have asked for a sample Synopsis but you know, each such material are unique in nature and the ways of writings of every two persons are different. That is why I felt that what you may really need, is a format for writing a synopsis and what I have mentioned above is what I have done in my case.

With Best wishes for your proposed endeavour,

Siddhartha Shankar Ray, Calcutta 

Siddharth shankar ray sir said it correct, no two synopsis looks alike.Look in shodhgangotri for  some library science synopsis
