As per the UGC Regulations 2018 on plagiarism, a research article with which of the following percentages of similarity leads to a university teacher being denied one annual increment?

A62%
B34%
C48% ✓ Correct
D18%
Correct answer: (C) 48%
Explanation

Similarity of forty to sixty percent denies one annual increment, met by 48%.

The 62% value exceeds sixty percent, which denies two successive increments.

The 34% value lies in the ten to forty band, requiring a revised script.

The 18% value also lies in that ten to forty band.

The forty to sixty band also bars supervising new scholars for two years.

Similarity up to ten percent draws no penalty under the 2018 regulations.
