How to check your thesis for AI in India

Upload the exact Word or PDF file you will submit to a checker that reads the whole document, see which lines read as AI, and rewrite those before your university's check. PaperCheck does this for free, 5 checks a month, up to 20,000 words each.

Why Indian students get caught out

Most Indian universities check theses with Turnitin, Ouriginal or DrillBit, and UGC rules set limits on similarity. Students usually see the report only after submitting, through the guide or the library. By then there is no time to rewrite.

What to check

  1. The exact final file, Word or PDF, not a pasted extract.
  2. The introduction, literature review and conclusion first: that is where AI-like writing usually sits.
  3. Both the AI score and copied phrases, in one report, so you fix everything in one pass.

What PaperCheck does

It scores every sentence of your thesis, marks the ones that read as AI with the reason, and compares your text with the papers you cite plus arXiv, Wikipedia, Europe PMC and OpenAlex. Title page, certificate, declaration, tables and references are skipped, as Turnitin does. Long theses take a few minutes, and the report is emailed to you.

What it cannot do

No outside tool can reproduce your university's Turnitin or DrillBit score exactly. Use it to find and fix the lines most likely to be flagged, not as a guarantee.

Common questions

Is there a free AI checker for a full thesis in India?

Yes. PaperCheck gives 5 free checks a month, up to 20,000 words each, from a Word or PDF file.

Does it check plagiarism too?

Yes, in the same report: against the papers you cite on arXiv, plus arXiv, Wikipedia, Europe PMC and OpenAlex. It does not search the whole web.
