Code of Ethics to Check Malpractices and Plagiarism in Research
Ethics and plagiarism are the significant components in the research and publication. Sometimes it is observed that researchers claim others work as their own, which will degrade the reputation of the institution.
- One ethics committee has been formed comprising of all PhD holders of the institute to assess the faculty researcher / PhD student / PG student who produce their work in the form of Research Publication / Research Proposal / Thesis Work (PG)/ Project Report.
- Especially the research work of the faculty / PG student in the form of journal paper / projects must go through the process of plagiarism and has to maintain high academic and production standards.
