Refrain oneself from copying or writing for another obedience to the invigilator.
Not coming to the hall with expected answer written as pieces of paper.

As regards to these rules, one who violate them is likely to face the consequences for it by the committee. The punishment depends on the magnitude of the offence. Some of the offence after being looked into by the committee one is asked to withdraw from the institution or stay back. These culprit would not be caught without the proper vigilance of the invigilator or supervisor. Therefore, having seen from above I can now say malpractice is legal action taken by a person in a position of trust. This means when applied to examination situation that any contrary action performed by someone against certain examination regulation can be termed examination malpractice.

Statistics has shown the examination malpractice became a very common they in early eighteen and as a result, the instant had to set up a coming that will have to be looking into these malpractice cases. This committee was inaugurated in 1982/83 and was called “Examination Malpractice Committee”.
