ABSTRACT
Academic research in India is expanding rapidly, but its quality is not increasing. Many educational professionals have highlighted concerns about the quality of research, particularly in social science. Data sciences is a rising discipline in which accurate predictions may be generated via data analysis. Qualitative data, like quantitative data, is extremely significant and falls primarily under the purview of social science. By conducting a focused group discussion, the researcher attempted to identify the issues encountered by college lecturers when doing a qualitative research. The report will also provide steps to improve the quality of qualitative data and its analysis.
