Academic dishonesty has remained endemic in higher institutions of learning regardless of efforts made to checkmate it. Earlier researches on state of academic dishonesty among the academia uses traditional methods which leads to false or non-response, however use of randomized response techniques have been shown to be theoretically more efficient than traditional method with a few applications. Therefore, this paper assessed level of plagiarism and examination malpractice by applying improved randomized response technique for two sensitive attributes (IRRT2) and then compared it with the traditional method of data collection. An online survey was conducted through use of google form with 240 persons responding from Africa, America, Asia and Europe.
