Working on someone else suggestion would be your first and last blunder, Kindly choose the area you like and specialize, then read enough literature on that. Think of some problem which professionals face in that area or new techniques to modernize or advancement of the profession. Try figuring out that no research has been done on that topic or search ongoing research in universities........ and a very important suggestion I would like to give is .......take advice of your guide in this matter.......

Dear Sri H. Karthiban,

Thanks for your post and I completely agree with Sri Hrmanpreet Singh Sandhu's comment. It is unfortunate yet true that there is a trend to blindly imitate issues of Western Countries but practically speaking, importance of topics depends upon the problems we face in our regular worksphere.It may be, say, problems of relating to diacritical marks of Indic names in Machine Readable Catalogue, or inadequacy of Classification numbers for subjects like Gender Studies, Cultural Studies or Biopolitics, it can even be Scientometric Studies of  subjects like DNA fingerprinting or Stem Cell Research in South Asia or Semantic webs in Libraries as Sri Santosh Kumar Kori suggested (in fact all his suggested topics are well thought of). But what I want to stress upon, is first to feel by yourself what haunts You. And secondly relevency or impact of your work. Because, in any interview you may face a strange question: What is the purpose of your Study or more directly, what good your study will do/has done to understand the subject better? I would like to refer to the correspondence entitled Research Impact written by Prof. Richard Zare, Chairman, Department of Chemistry in the Stanford University, California, U.S.A published in the 10th. Januray 2012 issue (p.9) of the journal Current Science. Regarding recruitment of Faculties in Permanent positions in the department of Chemistry, he has written "... As a Department, we do not discuss the h-index metrics and we do not count publications or rank them as to who is the first author. We just ask has the candidate really changed significantly how we understand chemistry." I hope that this comment speaks all about your query.

The journal Current Science is available free in the web and you can read the entire write up.

Sincerely,

Siddhartha S. Ray, Calcutta
