Abstract

Cheating is said to
be one of the most underlying issues in the colleges. The attitude of the
students concerning to cheat is mostly created in the high school where the
students initiate with seeking for the ways to cheat. As per the recent study
done, it was revealed that many of the students perceive the criteria of
success as having a good grade which enforces them to cheat and go for the
option of cheating rather than graduating with integrity. This, as a result, lead
to academic dishonesty among the students that are being credited to work that
is not their own. Keeping this in view, the following research will aim to
discover the association among the cheating and students’ ethics at the
university. This has been taken into account by means of sampling method. Moreover,
the study will look to understand that if the students are aware of the honor
code of the concerned university and either they follow it or not. In order to
undertake the research, the researcher has taken a total of 250 students were
taken as the target audience from different universities in order determine the
occurrence of cheating on the ethical standards of the students and mainly to
know the root cause behind cheating and the fact that how students perceive
cheating with respect to academic ethics. The results showed that 25 percent of
the students viewed cheating as copying of other's work, while 17 percent
thought to cheat as violating the academic rules. Despite accomplishing the
objective, the study is still bound to some limitations which creates a gap to
be fulfilled in future that is the limited sample size. Therefore, future
researchers are suggested to consider the big sample size for the future study.
