Plagiarism Check
Poornima University strictly adheres to the guidelines of UGC pertaining to plagiarism. It is the institutional commitment to promote original research work that is devoid of plagiarized content and within the permissible limits as specified by UGC.
Thus, the institutional focus for all the UG/ PG/ Ph.D. level programs for any research related academic submission is to first find out the plagiarized content (in-house) as per the UGC guidelines through Turnitin software.
To do so, the institute has provided Turnitin software to all the Deans and HoDs for checking their schools and departmental research articles, research proposals and research project reports for any plagiarized content and compare with UGC norms, failing which, no permission is granted to the research scholars to take their work forward.

It is being considered as academic dishonesty.
What is Turnitin?
