Academic Integrity:

IIM Rohtak IPM Manual defines behaviors which violate the principles of academic
integrity, describes a range of appropriate sanctions for offenses, and identifies a method
for promoting the principle of academic integrity. It is required that each student shall
demonstrate honesty and integrity in the completion of all assignments and in the
participation of the learning process. The Course will not tolerate plagiarism, copying or
active or passive collaboration in this type of dishonest behavior in the examination papers
written by our students. This penalty for plagiarism will be immediate failure of the course.
Furthermore, the Institute will initiate proceedings against the student that could lead to
his/her expulsion from the program.
