AB  - This paper aims at exploringgraduate students’ research experience by investigating into their perception aboutdifferent aspects of their pursuing research in a public University ofBangladesh. With response to that aim, it explains graduates’ experience in sixdifferent aspects which together construct an effective research experience: amodel proposed by Keith Trigwell and Harriet Dunbar-Goddet in 2005. It combinesall the relevant findings from a rigorous quantitative study conducted with asample of 101 graduates of that public university who graduated in the year of2015 and 2016. Results ascertain that students’ perspective of researchexperience is generally favourable and positive for four out of the sixaspects. Additionally, considerable differences in perception were found withrespect to different socioeconomic background of the students. Furthermore,overall student satisfaction with their experience for conducting academicresearch as graduates is found linked with some particular factors injuxtaposition with quality of thesis supervision, facilities and infrastructureof the university. Positive agreement on the availability of those factorssignificantly generates higher satisfaction with overall research experience. Therefore,the findings provide the evidences to initiate appropriate managementstrategies by the university administration with a view to facilitating students’research experience during graduate program. Additionally, the study introducesan effective approach evaluate research students’ experience that combines bothevaluation of the research facilities and scholastic actions.
