Anti-plagiarism Check certificate for the Report for the Final Year project:
All the student teams have to check their project report for plagiarism, which indicates
% similarity of the languages used during drafting, using a good plagiarism-checking/
search software package. You may use an Open Access Plagiarism Search software
like http://oaps.eu/
PROCEDURE FOR USING OAPS:
Each student team can register themself in this OAPS database (free open
source database) and upload their project report (excluding PDE report) either
in .doc or .pdf format after log in, using your generated user ID and password.
Refer- http://oaps.eu/
After successful uploading of file, the database will take 1hr to 4hr time period
to complete the analysis of % similarity. Meanwhile student can also log off
from the system and even stop the internet after uploading of file.
After a few hours, when the student logs in once again, he/she will get report
ready in html format.
On the first page of report, it will mention % similarity with other
published literatures on web. Take a print of the 1
st
page of this report.
Preferably the % factor should be less than 30%.
The 1st page of the report generated after online plagiarism check is required to be
signed by each of the team members as well as by the respective guide and it should
be attached mandatorily in the copies delivered to the College, to the Faculty Guide or
to the external mentor from the industries in case of IDP. The department should keep
a copy of these in a file after collecting them from all the teams.
A certificate of undertaking of plagiarism check (as given in Annexure-2) signed by
team members and guide need to be attached along with the project report (in the
copies delivered to the College, to the Faculty Guide or to the external mentor from
the industries in case of IDP).
