1. Why This Policy Exists
Job seekers and exam candidates make consequential decisions based on the information they read online. A single fabricated recruitment notification, an incorrect exam date, a leaked-paper scam, or a fake application link can cost a reader money, time, or an entire year of preparation. sarkarilakshya.com therefore treats fact-checking as the foundation of every article we publish, not as a final editorial step. This policy sets out how we verify claims, what standards we apply, and how we correct mistakes when they occur. It works alongside our Editorial Policy, which explains our broader publishing principles.
2. What We Verify
We distinguish between factual claims that must be verified and general guidance that reflects our editorial judgement. Factual claims include: the existence of a recruitment notification or examination; the name of the issuing department, institution, or examination authority; vacancy counts; eligibility criteria such as age limits, educational qualifications, and experience requirements; salary figures and pay scales; exam dates, admit card release dates, and result dates; application deadlines; official application URLs; and syllabus and pattern details. General guidance — for example, advice on how to structure a preparation timetable — is labelled as guidance rather than fact.
3. How We Verify Recruitment Claims
For every recruitment notification we publish, our first check is always the originating source. An article is not published until a writer has located the official circular, departmental notice, government employment portal, or verified company career page that announces the vacancy. Vacancy counts, post names, and eligibility criteria are taken directly from that source rather than from secondary summaries.
Where a notification is circulating on social media or WhatsApp forwards but cannot be traced to an official source, we treat it as unverified and either do not publish it or publish it with an explicit warning that it has not been confirmed. Fake government job websites and appointment letters are a persistent problem in India. We cross-check application links against official domains wherever possible, and we flag any recruitment that demands a registration fee, medical fee, or document-verification payment before an offer is confirmed.
4. How We Verify Exam and Education Updates
Exam-related information is highly time-sensitive and errors can derail a candidate’s preparation, so it receives particular scrutiny. Exam dates, admit card release schedules, result announcements, and syllabus changes are confirmed against the official examination authority website or official notification before publication. Where a date is tentative or subject to change, we say so explicitly rather than presenting it as final. Where multiple dates are circulating — for example, a revised schedule after a postponement — we confirm which is current and note the revision.
5. Study Materials, PDFs, and Downloadable Resources
The Website offers free PDF downloads and study resources as supplementary preparation aids. These are verified for internal accuracy — factual errors, outdated syllabus references, and broken formatting — before release. However, we do not present them as official syllabi or authorised textbooks, and we do not publish leaked question papers, unauthorised answer keys, or copyrighted material without permission. Where a resource is compiled from third-party sources, we credit the source where possible. If a substantive error is later found in a downloadable file, we replace the file and note the revision rather than leaving the flawed version in circulation.
6. Push Notifications and Alerts
Subscribers to our push notification service receive alerts about new job posts, exam updates, and free PDF downloads. Alerts are generated from already-published articles, but because notification delivery is fast and automated, an alert may occasionally reach a subscriber before a correction is applied to the underlying article. We therefore treat the article, not the alert, as the authoritative version, and we correct the article promptly when an error is identified. Notification delivery itself depends on browser settings and third-party service availability, which we do not control.
7. Sourcing Standards
We prefer primary sources: official circulars, government portals, examination authority notices, and company recruitment pages. Secondary sources — news reports, coaching institute blogs, aggregator sites, and social media posts — are used to identify leads but are not treated as confirmation on their own. When a claim cannot be verified through a primary source, we say so in the article. We do not present unverified information as established fact, and we do not remove caveats to make an opportunity or exam date sound more certain than it is.
8. Non-Partisanship and Consistency
We apply the same verification standard to every claim we check, regardless of which department, institution, examination authority, or company it concerns. We do not concentrate our fact-checking on any one employer or exam body. Our judgements are based on the evidence available, not on commercial relationships or external pressure.
9. Separation of Fact-Checking from Commercial Interest
Fact-checking must be independent of advertising and partnership relationships. No advertiser, coaching institute, recruitment agency, or employer can pay to have a claim verified, to have a caveat removed, or to have an unverified vacancy or exam claim presented as confirmed. Where content is sponsored, it is labelled as sponsored, and the fact-checking standards described in this policy still apply.
10. Corrections and Updates
Errors happen. When a reader or our own review identifies a factual error — a wrong exam date, an incorrect vacancy count, a broken application link, a misstated eligibility criterion, or an error in a downloadable PDF — we correct it promptly. Where the correction materially changes the guidance a reader would take from the article, we add a visible note explaining what was changed. We do not silently delete errors. Readers can report suspected errors through our Contact Us page. Corrections are logged internally so that recurring problems in sourcing or verification can be addressed.
11. Transparency About Limits
We are an information platform, not a recruitment agency, a government department, or an examination authority. We verify what we can against official sources, but we cannot guarantee that an authority will honour a vacancy, that an exam will proceed as scheduled, or that a salary quoted in a listing will be paid in practice. Where our information is time-sensitive — as with rolling recruitment, revised exam schedules, or annual notification cycles — we date the article and advise readers to confirm details on the official portal before acting.
12. Reader Responsibility
We encourage readers to treat any offer that demands upfront payment, promises a leaked paper or guaranteed exam success, requests sensitive documents before an official selection process, or cannot be traced to an official domain with suspicion. Our fact-checking reduces risk; it does not eliminate it. The final verification step — checking the official portal before paying or sharing personal information — belongs to the reader. We also urge readers to report suspected fraud through our Contact Us page so that we can warn others.
13. Contact
Questions about this policy, corrections, or fact-checking suggestions can be sent through our Contact Us page. We also invite you to read our Editorial Policy, Privacy Policy, Cookies Policy, GDPR Policy, and Disclaimer for a full picture of how the site operates.
Every fact we check is a promise kept to our readers — accuracy first, always.
