Conclusion chapter, the last piece in your thesis, is what your review committee often looks at. Hence be careful while writing this chapter. While writing a conclusion chapter, make sure you include: A summary of the main part of the text Your personal opinion on what has been discussed A statement about the limitations of your work A comment about on what has been discussed in the thesis The implications of the work for future research Important facts and figures which are not mentioned in the main body

Often scholars face challenges in writing a conclusion chapter. But technically speaking, writing a conclusion chapter is not a difficult task since it is a short chapter. Basically, a conclusion chapter should consist: A. Restatement of hypothesis (or purpose) B. Summary of main points / findings; whether they support the hypothesis; whether they align with, or differ from, other researchers’ findings C. Possible explanations for the findings; and/or speculations about them D. Limitations of the study E. Implications of your findings F. Recommendations for future research and practical applications

Raj and Rajiv have already mentioned the major points that needs to be included while writing the final chapter. I would like to mention some more points. Be very careful about using the word “conclusion” anywhere other than the conclusion itself! This can mislead the reader. The conclusion should be clear and relatively brief. Summarise the main points of the various chapters. Avoid implausible conclusion. Hope this helps you! Good luck!

Thank you so much guys. Now finally I will be able to write the last chapter in my thesis. It was indeed a great help.
