Neena J. Rayan, Dr. R. Portia

Abstract :

Traditionally Colleges and Universities were predictable not only to develop students’ academic abilities and expand their knowledge but also to instill values, to impart standards of conduct and to mould character. Now they are called upon to respond to an apparent increase in ethical misconduct. Academic dishonesty in educational institutions is a cause for concern at present. It is a fundamental issue for the academic integrity of higher education institutions.Academic dishonesty is an unscrupulous as well as illegal behaviour. Cheating and plagiarism rank first within the behaviour of academic dishonesty. Ethics begin with each individual’s inner feelings, which later transform into their behaviour. Academicians should confront dishonesty, concern students fairly and promote moral character development and the transfer of ethical knowledge.
