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.
BUSS 1003 (QP)
Page 3 of 4
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 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 the students of the group.
d.
Type 4: Variation of Type 1 and Type 2: In cases where the assessment consists of components or part submissions
that could be a group assessment component (e.g. group assignment) and an individual assessment component (e.g.
individual reflection), the following will be applicable:
1. If plagiarism is detected in the group assessment component, 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 of the group. In such cases the group assessment component will
be resubmitted as per the policy.
2. If plagiarism is detected in the individual assessment component, the individual assessment component will be
resubmitted as per the policy. The policy will then be applied to that student alone.
3. In both cases (a) and/or (b), the deduction in marks will be applicable for the whole assessment (assignment).
D. Amount of similar material
a. The total amount of similar material in any form of student work from all sources put together should not exceed 30%
(including direct quotations).
b. The total amount of quoted material (direct quotations) in any form of student work from all sources put together should
not exceed 10%.
c. The total amount of similar material in any form of student work from a single source should not exceed 7 percent.
However, cases having a similarity of less than 7 percent in such cases may still be investigated by the faculty depending
on the seriousness of the case.
d. If faculty member find enough merit in the case of a student work with a similarity (with a single source) of more than
7 percent as not a case of plagiarism, the faculty member should provide detailed comments/remarks to justify the case.
