Do you need to submit a plagiarism report?
Yes. Amity requires you to submit a plagiarism report acknowledging 85% originality along with your full project report in Stage 2. This is mandatory—not optional.
When is the plagiarism check done?
Plagiarism is checked twice in practice: first, you run your own check and upload the report; second, Amity conducts a plagiarism check before evaluation on all project report submissions. A report that passes your pre-check can still be rejected if Amity's check finds more than 15% similarity.
What happens if you exceed 15%?
- Report is rejected before grading begins
- No marks are awarded for that submission attempt
- Student must undergo resubmission as per Amity rules
- Incomplete or rejected submissions can delay degree completion
- Extension fees may apply if resubmission misses program deadlines
Which sections cause high plagiarism?
