Upholding Academic Integrity

Academic integrity is the cornerstone of education at Ridhi Sidhi College. Every student is expected to adhere to the highest standards of honesty and originality in their academic work. This includes examinations, assignments, projects, and research. Acts of academic dishonesty, such as plagiarism, cheating, or falsifying data, are strictly prohibited.

Students are encouraged to:

  • Prepare their work independently unless collaboration is explicitly permitted.
  • Properly cite all sources of information to avoid plagiarism.
