Academic Dishonesty:
Academic dishonesty is an offence that will not be tolerated in any form. Any student who is involved in
any such activity will be penalised to the fullest extent possible allowed by university regulations. If you
have any doubts about whether an action constitutes academic dishonesty, consult with your instructor
before taking the action.

Plagiarism and Cheating: the presentation by a student as his or her own work but is actually stolen from
someone else. Whenever a student submits a piece of writing claiming it to be his own authorship, it is
generally understood that all the ideas, opinions, facts, figures, conclusions, revisions, words are the
student’s original work, unless he/she has explicitly indicated otherwise using citations, footnotes,
attribution in the text, and/or used quotation marks.
The use of unauthorised material during an examination in order to secure or give help will not be
tolerated. Academic dishonesty also encompasses unauthorised copying and distribution of examinations,
assignments, reports, projects or term papers or the presentation of unacknowledged material as if it were
the student’s own work.
A person failing to acknowledge and recognize the contribution of the original author, will be held
responsible under academic deception. Such action will necessitate measures to discipline the student
under the University’s academic dishonesty policy. Any academic dishonesty would call for swift punitive
action by the faculty and the names of the students involved would be reported to the concerned Head of
Department.
