Knowledge infringement and literary theft are some of the unhealthy practices in research areas across the world. In particular, plagiarism is a main problem among the academic community. In order to ensure the high level of ethical standards in research and other academic activities, the code of ethics for research work, project and other academic activities has been practiced at Cape Institute of Technology affiliated under Anna University, Chennai.

All scholars of Cape Institute of Technology are required to maintain the highest standards of morality, truthfulness and professionalism with respect to their study such as research or project undertaken by them.
