Academic Integrity
Community & Upload Guidelines
Standards for maintaining a clean, high-yield, peer-verified study repository for PICT.
Two-Tier Moderation Workflow
Every uploaded note or PYQ is staged in PICTDrive_Pending until verified by student moderators.
High-Yield Approved Content (+2 to +5 Karma)
- Unit-wise Lecture Notes: Clean, high-resolution scans of handwritten formulas, diagrams, and numerical solutions.
- Insem & Endsem PYQs: Past question papers tagged accurately with department, semester, and year.
- Lab Practical Journals: Verified code templates, viva preparation questions, and circuit diagrams.
- Microproject & Seminar Reports: Structural guidelines and documentation templates.
Strictly Prohibited & Auto-Rejected
- Live Exam Papers: Active, ongoing insem/endsem/online tests prior to official conclusion.
- Copyrighted Textbooks: Commercial publisher PDFs without explicit redistribution authorization.
- Blurry or Illegible Scans: Photos with unreadable handwriting, extreme shadows, or cut-off margins.
- Duplicates: Re-uploading existing past papers already indexed in the academic archive.
