Clarification on Plagiarism Policy
As per MEC policy, any form of violation of academic integrity will invite severe penalty.
Plagiarised documents, in part or in whole, submitted by the students will be subject to this policy.
A. First offence of plagiarism
a.) A student will be allowed to re-submit the assignment once, within a maximum period of
one week. However, a penalty of deduction of 25% of the marks obtained for the
resubmitted work will be imposed.
b.) Mark deduction: When the work is resubmitted, the marking will be undertaken according
to the marking criteria. In compliance with this policy, the 25% deduction is then made on
the marks obtained. For example, in an assessment that carries a maximum of 50 marks,
suppose a student were to obtain 30 marks for the resubmitted work, the final marks for
that assessment will be 22.5 (after deducting 25% of the marks actually obtained for the
resubmitted work).
c.) Period of resubmission: The student will have to resubmit the work one week from the date
he or she is advised to resubmit. For example, if the formal advice to resubmit was
communicated to the student on a Sunday (latest by 5 pm), the student will have to resubmit
the work latest by next Sunday 5 pm.
d.) If the re-submitted work is also detected to be plagiarized, then the work will be awarded
a zero.
e.) Resubmission of the work beyond the maximum period of one week will not be accepted
and the work will be awarded a zero.
B. Any further offence of plagiarism
a.) If any student is again caught in an act of plagiarism during his/her course of study (either in
the same module, same semester or in any other semester), the student will directly be awarded
zero for the work in which plagiarism is detected. In such cases, the student will not be allowed
to re-submit the work.
C. Guidelines
a.) Type 1: In case plagiarism is detected in any component or part submission (submitted at
different times) of one assessment (assignment), the deduction in marks will be applicable
for the whole assessment (assignment), even if only the component or part submission
alone needs to be resubmitted.
b.) Type 2: In case plagiarism is detected in a group assessment, all students of the group will
be considered as having committed an act of plagiarism irrespective of whether plagiarism
is on account of the act of all or a few or only one member. The policy will then be applied
to all students.
c.) Type 3: Combination of Type 1 and Type 2: In case plagiarism is detected in any
component or part submission (submitted at different times) of a group assessment
(assignment), the deduction in marks will be applicable for the whole assessment
(assignment), even if only the component or part submission alone needs to be resubmitted.
All students of the group would be considered as having committed an
