Plagiarism & Project Report Guidelines

Reports with a similarity of up to 20% will qualify for uploading to the Institutional Repository (DSpace).

A maximum of 25% similarity will be considered for the thesis/project reports of graduates, and 30% will be considered for undergraduate students with less than 5% matches from a single source, 10% in the DIU DSpace source, and 25% will be allowed from the AI source for degree completion.

Students’ project reports will be checked free of charge a maximum of two times. For the third and subsequent checks, a fee of one hundred taka (Tk. 100) must be deposited to the Accounts Section. The money receipt should be attached to the plagiarism email correspondence for the third or subsequent submissions.

To receive "Plagiarism Clearance" from the DIU Library, students must send their project report to:

Students must keep their supervisor in Cc and fill up the "Internship Portal." Project reports will not be checked without feedback from the concerned supervisors.

Please maintain ethical standards throughout your research paper. Otherwise, penalties will be considered for individuals using unethical tools.

Coordination officers of the departments will ensure the submission of "Plagiarism Clearance", along with all project reports.

Once reports or thesis papers are uploaded to DSpace, they are permanently stored in the DIU database and are not subject to deletion. If students intend to publish their papers through alternate publishers, they should notify the library to keep the documents concealed until they are ready for publication.

Students are requested to have their research/project papers checked by the library at least five working days before their defense and proceed accordingly.
