  • There is no collaboration in carrying out the projects. Two or more students may be assigned to a single/the same project. However, each of the individual should carry out his/her own project separately. In case two (or more) students are assigned to a single/the same project, performance, cost, complexity, novelty, innovation, etc. will be taken into account in their relative evaluations. Superior performance over inferior will be considered advantageous in grading.

Any project yielding more than 5% overlap with any other source code present in the plagiarism tool repository will directly be considered to fail with letter grade “F.” Furthermore, supervisor will submit a formal complaint to Committee on Discipline. A discipline file including the letter defining the type of violation will be formed and documented regarding academic integrity and dishonesty rules and guidelines.
