Additional Guidelines
 The Assignment Submission link on MOVE will be open, a week ahead of the submission
date.
 You can submit your assignment multiple times, till the submission deadline. Note that
Turnitin could take upto 24 hours to produce similarity reports for submissions.
 The last submission, within the deadline, will be considered as your final submission. Assignments should be submitted by 6:00 pm on the day of the deadline. Any assignments
submitted after this will be counted as late. Technical problems will not be accepted as an
excuse for submitting after the day of the deadline.
 The similarity percentage of your final submission will be one of the factors considered, for
assessing the originality of your assignment. However, the decision to report an assignment
for plagiarism is taken by the Lecturers, who mark your assignment.
 The Lecturers will consider a number of factors such as Assignment type, Part of the
assignment where similarity occurs, Nature of similarity etc., along with the similarity
percentage of your assignment, to assess the originality of your assignment. Therefore,
similarity percentage would not be accepted as a basis for disputing academic judgments
regarding plagiarism.
 Note that the similarity percentage of your submission can change till the submission
deadline, if the submissions of other students have similarity to your assignment. Therefore,
the similarity percentages are not final, till the assignment submission is closed.
