13. Academic Integrity Policy

Education at Chitkara University builds on the principle that excellence requires freedom where Honesty and
integrity are its prerequisites. Academic honesty in the advancement of knowledge requires that all students
and Faculty respect the integrity of one another's work and recognize the importance of acknowledging and
safeguarding intellectual property. Any breach of the same will be tantamount to severe academic penalties.
