According to UGC Regulations 2018 on plagiarism, Level 3 plagiarism refers to similarities:
AAbove 60% ✓ Correct
BBelow 10%
CAbove 10% to 30%
DAbove 40% to 60%
Correct answer: (A) Above 60%
Explanation
Under the UGC Regulations 2018, Level 3 plagiarism means textual similarity above sixty percent.
Below ten percent falls in Level 0, which carries no penalty at all.
The band above ten to thirty percent is a distractor, since Level 1 actually spans above ten to forty percent.
Above forty to sixty percent is Level 2, a serious but not the highest band.
Level 3 is the gravest band and draws the heaviest penalties on the offender.
Similarity up to ten percent is exempted before the graded levels begin.
