Abstract
According to web metric world ranking 2016, there is no public or private Pakistani university among the top 600 universities of the world. As far as the motivation of postgraduate in Pakistan is concerned, the supervision of researchers for the retention of students and the completion of a research degree is the major critical issues. The primary focus of this study is to explore the key factors affecting the motivation of postgraduate research students through the perception of students in various fields. For this purpose, we have focused on the sample of four universities (public and private universities) in Sindh, Hyderabad province. Universities were also stratum into 3 samples in terms of disciples: Engineering, Agriculture and Management Science. Here particularly M.Phil and PhD research students were focused. The structured 5 Likert questionnaires are used as an instrument for data collection. The multiple regression analysis is applied for research analysis. Results showed that research supervisor and research facilities were insignificant but research course work is found a significant impact on the motivation of post-graduate research in Sindh. On basis of results, it is recommended that in each studied disciple has to design policies for motivation among postgraduate research students especially research course work should be taken in consideration on the important basis for better motivation of post-graduate research in future.
