Abstract: Promotion-oriented research culture connects number of publications to selection in next rank. This incentive-based research environment provides less support to students in their research endeavors consequently they face a number of challenges while undertaking their research projects. This qualitative research investigated the students‟ problems through thematic analysis of the content of queries which they post on face book groups. Seven themes emerged from that data which represent range of students‟ research related problems including literature search, academic writing, topic selection, use of research software, statistics, publication and referencing. The findings of the study suggest that faculty should be evaluated equally on research and teachings if both are valuable for universities. Moreover, along with classroom teaching, students‟ research skills should boost through workshops, seminars, research bulletins and increased opportunities of scholarly interactions.
