The study was conducted on the topic perception of examination malpractice among students of Office Technology and Management in Kaduna Polytechnic. Four research questions were raised to address its objectives. The theoretical basis for the study was obtained through the review of related literature such as textbooks, journals, conference paper and internet facilities.
The population of the study is 433 and 205 was used as sample size based on Krejcie and Morgan Table. The instrument of used for the collection of data was questionnaire. 205 copies of questionnaires were dully filled and returned. The number was used for the analysis using mean statistical distribution table of Four Point Scale.
Based on the findings, the researcher concluded among others that students perceived that examination malpractice is the shortcut to passing without reading and there is nothing wrong if one sees examination question before the examination.
It is against this perception that the study recommends among others that management of institution should work hand in hand with the law enforcement agency to ensure that withdrawal and rustications should not be the only forms of punishment rather, laws available should be enforced on offenders or students who are caught in the act.

1.1 Background of the Study
Examinations are believed to serve the educational functions of providing useful information on the strengths and shortcomings of particular learning programmes and the efficiency of the teaching techniques employed. Despite their important role within the educational system, examinations have been so severely criticized that one is sometimes tempted to doubt their values as dependable selection devices.
According to Tawiah (2015) their criticisms include the deployment of undesirable study habits like rote learning and questions, spotting, dubious validity and reliability, predisposition of students’ psychological stress and anxiety as well as high incidence of cheating.
It is apparently in view of these criticism that the continue assessment was introduced so as to control the power of the traditional examination as the sole measuring instrument of the learner’s outcome or performances. Paradoxically, the integration of the continuous assessment procedure into the educational system has reduced some of the ills, but it has created new problems some of which are very threatening which is examination malpractice behavior (Lamba, 2009).
Perception is the process through which the information from outside environment is selected, received, organised and interpreted to make it meaningful to you. This input of meaningful information results in decisions and actions (Kashyap 2016). He further expressed that perception may be defined as a process by which individuals organize and interpret their sensory impressions in order to give meaning to their environment.
Students perceived examination as a procedure of assessing the amount of education/learning an individual has achieved over a period. Also it is perceived as an authentic means utilized to ascertain the degree to which learning targets have been inbred by students so that they can be offered some assistance in their further studies(Oluwatelure, 2008).
The procedure takes place in many forms; through test, observation, interviews in laboratory/workshop practicals among others.
Unfortunately, the process of examination in Nigeria schools has become a “Contemporary shame (Nwadiani, 2010). This is because of the phenomenon of examination malpractice that has become endemic in the educational system.
The rate and constancy of malpractice at all levels of education have reached such frightening proportion that some harsh decision, like cancellation of examination results and punishment of culprits have been taken to curb this uncalled for behaviour.
The bold step taken by the Federal Military Government of Nigeria in 1984 by promulgating a Decree which imposed a twenty-one year jail term and another recent Decree promulgated in 1998/99 which imposed a twenty-one year jail term or a fine of one hundred thousand on those involved in examination malpractice does not seem to have achieved the desired results (Lamba, 2009).
The Examination Malpractice Act (1999) explains examination malpractice as any act of omission or commission by a person who in anticipation of, before, during or after any examination fraudulently secure any unfair advantage for himself or any other person in such a manner that contravenes the rules and regulations to the extent of undermining the validity, reliability, authenticity of the examination and ultimately the integrity of the certificates issued.
Hardly any year passes without the bodies involve in Examination Malpractice Committee in Kaduna Polytechnic call one or two students to face the panel. Students who are supposed to hold the society’s moral value are part of this unethical behaviour despite severe punishment for those caught in the act.
This study thus, seeks to examine the perception of students towards examination malpractice among office technology and Management students in Kaduna Polytechnic.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
It has been observed that cases of examination malpractice in our institutions of learning in the country have gone a long way to paralyze the academic activities of the institutions especially among the tertiary institutions (Jega, 2006; Lamba, 2009; &Jimoh 2009).
