CAsked to submit a revised script within a stipulated time period not exceeding one year

DAsked to submit a revised script within a stipulated time period not exceeding 6 months

Correct answer: (A) Debarred from submitting a revised script for a period of one year

Explanation

For Level 2 plagiarism a student is debarred from submitting a revised script for a period of one year.

Level 2 covers similarity above 40 up to 60 percent under UGC regulations.

A six-month debarment matches no defined UGC penalty level.

Asking for resubmission within one year also fits no prescribed level.

Resubmission within six months is instead the Level 1 remedy.

Level 3, above 60 percent, cancels the student's registration for the programme.
