A significant number of NUS students taking an online exam had allegedly shared their answers and plagiarized one another's work. To preserve the integrity of online assessments, the University has put in place measures such as online procuring, where students are monitored via a webcam. As a result of their academic misconduct they have received zero marks for the exam, they have been barred from exercising the satisfactory/unsatisfactory option for the module.

The private education institution Kings International Business School registration was cancelled for issuing diplomas without ensuring that students had received proper instruction and assessment. Two former managers were sentenced to jail after failing to comply with the Council for Private Education's directive to refund or place out students, and the provision of 10 false examination scripts and six false attendance lists to the CPE.
