Upon thorough examination, our evaluation committee identified several significant shortcomings that have led to the disapproval of your thesis. It is essential to understand the reasons for this decision so that you can address these concerns and develop a more comprehensive research project in the future.

Consult with your advisor or members of the department to gain better insight into the required improvements. Additionally, a revised research proposal and approach should be developed to address the deficiencies identified.
