K L Deemed to be University, a top-tier institution, noted that DrillBit's accuracy in detecting plagiarism across bachelor's, master's, and Ph.D. theses is 'remarkable and considerable' when compared to older pioneers like Turnitin.

Dr. Saurabh Mehta, Chief Academic Officer at Vidyalankar Institute of Technology in Mumbai, called the software a 'very useful tool' for helping students and faculty achieve the best international standards for publication.

III. What the Users Love

But what about the students and everyday users? They love the transparency and ease of use.
