not eligible, only eligible students will be allowed to re-submit within a period of one
week and the penalty will be applied as per the policy for each student according to
his / her history of violations.
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

week and the penalty will be applied as per the policy for each student according to
his / her history of violation.

MEC_AMO_TEM_035_04 Page 13 of 14
policy will then be applied to all students of the group. In such cases the group
assessment component will be resubmitted.
If some students in the group are eligible to re-submit (first offence) and others are
not eligible, only eligible students will be allowed to re-submit within a period of one
week and the penalty will be applied for each student according to his / her history
of violation.
b. If plagiarism is detected in the individual assessment component, the individual
assessment component will be resubmitted – if the student is eligible for
resubmission-. The policy will then be applied to that student alone.
c. In both cases (a) and/or (b), the deduction in marks will be applicable for the whole
assessment (assignment).
1.7. Types/Variation of Cases of Multiple Offences
