The present study aims to examine the context of academic dishonesty of research students in a public university setting in Bangladesh. In this regard, the researchers conducted interviews with the concerned authorities of the university, i.e., Chairpersons of the Departments, Deans of the Faculties, Proctor of the University, and Director of Students Guidance and Counselling Cell in order to get an impression about the current practice of academic dishonesty by the students of that university; factors influencing these activities and recommendations to uphold academic integrity among the students. The results showed that though there were several instances of academic integrity violation, negligible actions were taken against them due to the absence of an established policy on academic dishonesty. At the same time, the nonexistence of a course on academic integrity and research ethics in the curriculum is also responsible for this scenario. To mitigate this issue, all the concerned authorities strongly recommended formulating a central policy on academic dishonesty for promoting academic integrity and achieving university ranking success in global competitiveness.

本研究旨在调查孟加拉国公立大学研究生学术不诚实的背景。就此，研究人员对大学有关部门进行了采访，即系主任、院系主任、大学监考官和学生指导与咨询小组主任，以了解当前的情况该大学学生的学术不诚实行为；影响这些活动的因素和维护学生学术诚信的建议。结果表明，虽然有几起违反学术诚信的事件，但由于缺乏针对学术不端行为的既定政策，对他们采取的行动微不足道。同时，课程中没有关于学术诚信和研究伦理的课程也是造成这种情况的原因。为了缓解这一问题，所有有关部门都强烈建议制定一项关于学术不端的中央政策，以促进学术诚信并在全球竞争力中取得大学排名的成功。
