How does the newly added plagiarism tool work in the BITS Pilani?

According to my friends studying at BITS Pilani, it is highly advanced when it comes to technology and its advancement. BITS Pilani has added a plagiarism tool on its campus to check the student’s capability to write an essay on an unknown topic.

• This tool has been generated specifically to go through the soft copies and the answers uploaded on it by digital means.
• The topics given for the essay writing is an anonymous topic and sometimes students also give in their essays in hardcopy format.
• In such cases, the student checks and again works on their essay before submitting it.
• When submitted the hard copy files are scanned and then converted into soft copies and are then made to go through the plagiarism tool.

Students are aware of the tool and therefore check the essay multiple times before submitting it. The plagiarism tool is very advanced and also very accurate. It searches the essay multiple times in every order to find out the copied content and identifies as little as phrases used in the same order.
