As per the UGC Regulations 2018 on plagiarism, at which of the following percentages of similarity in a thesis is a student asked to submit a revised thesis within six months?

A9%
B13% ✓ Correct
C42%
D47%
Correct answer: (B) 13%
Explanation

Similarity in the ten to forty percent band requires a revised thesis within six months, met by 13%.

The 9% value is below ten percent, drawing no penalty at all.

The 42% value falls in the forty to sixty band, barring resubmission for a year.

The 47% value also lies in that forty to sixty band.

Above sixty percent similarity cancels a student's registration.

The 2018 regulations exclude quotations and references from the similarity check.
