India's tuberculosis programme gives pulmonary medicine residents access to well-recorded patients, free molecular testing and standard regimens, which makes this a rewarding thesis area. The sample titles focus on post-tuberculosis lung disease with spirometry, DLCO, HRCT and quality of life, on Truenat and Xpert Ultra in sputum-scarce or stool samples, and on newer drug-resistant regimens.
Coordination with NTEP staff and the district TB centre is essential for treatment outcomes and follow-up data. Post-tuberculosis studies need patients who have completed treatment, so tracing them through programme registers is often easier than waiting. Bronchoscopy-based work requires procedure time and consent, and NTM questions depend on liquid culture and speciation access.

4Tips for a Tuberculosis & NTM thesis
- Use NTEP case definitions and treatment outcome categories, and record drug-resistance status from CBNAAT, Truenat or line probe assay for every patient.
- Diagnostic accuracy studies need a clear reference standard such as liquid culture, and should report results for smear-negative and sputum-scarce cases separately.
- Describe post-tuberculosis lung disease with spirometry, DLCO, the six-minute walk test and a quality-of-life tool such as SGRQ, measured after treatment completion.
