PLAGIARISM POLICY

            Checking for plagiarism is essential for maintaining academic integrity, originality, and credibility.

It matters for :

1. Protecting Intellectual Property
2. Upholding Academic Standards
3. Legal & Ethical Consequences
4. Encouraging Independent Thinking
5. Ensuring Quality & Accuracy

All academic submissions—including library dissertations, short studies, and research activities—are subjected to plagiarism screening using DrillBit Plagiarism Detection Software.

Once a document is uploaded to the platform, DrillBit analyzes the content against a comprehensive database of academic and online sources. The software generates a detailed similarity report, which includes:

• The overall percentage of similarity detected in the document.
• Highlighted sections indicating potential instances of plagiarism.
• Source links or references for matched content.
• Recommendations for revision, if applicable.

This process ensures academic integrity and encourages originality in student and faculty research. Documents exceeding the acceptable threshold must be reviewed and revised accordingly before final approval or submission.

According to Dr NTRUHS, plagiarism should not exceed 20% and so, it will be maintained.
