Editorial & Source Policy
Exam Notification is an independent information website. This page explains how we decide what to publish, where our facts come from, who is responsible, and how we handle mistakes. It is written to be checked: every rule here corresponds to something visible on the site.
1. What we publish
Government recruitment notifications, admit cards, answer keys, results, cut-offs, syllabus and exam patterns, admissions and government schemes for candidates in India — plus explanatory guides (eligibility, preparation, salary, selection process). We do not publish rumours, "expected" dates presented as facts, or content about a recruitment before an official document exists.
2. Where facts come from — the source hierarchy
Every notification page names the issuing authority and links the document it was written from. Sources are ranked; a higher tier always wins a conflict, and a number that appears only in a low-tier source is not published as fact. The full list of the official portals we monitor, with tiers, is on the Sources page.
- Official notification / PDF issued by the conducting authority
- Official website or portal of the conducting authority
- Official recruitment or application portal
- Government or institutional secondary source (PIB, Employment News, a university)
- Established news publisher — used to learn that something happened, then confirmed at tier 1–3
- Other websites — never used as a source; competitor pages are read only to find the official link
3. How a page is produced
Our system watches the official portals throughout the day. When a new document appears it is captured, its text is extracted, and a draft is written from that document only. Two automatic checks run before an editor sees it: any figure in the draft that does not appear in the source is flagged, and a page-quality score (intent, data, entity, source, maintainability, duplication) must pass. Time-critical, formulaic pages (admit cards, answer keys) may go live automatically when they pass both checks; everything else waits for a person. AI assists with extraction, summarising, formatting and metadata; it does not decide what is true.
4. Verification and dates
Each page shows two different dates. Last updated changes whenever anything on the page is edited. Information last verified is the date a person or our source re-check last confirmed the facts against the linked document, together with the source tier and a status: verified, awaiting verification, needs review (the source changed), or archived. Official documents are re-fetched on a schedule; if the document changed, the page is marked "needs review" until it is re-verified.
5. Corrections
When we get something wrong the page is fixed, a dated note is added to its update log, and the correction is listed on the public corrections log. Corrigenda issued by the authority are recorded the same way but marked as source changes, not our errors. See the corrections page for how to report an error and our response time.
6. Old cycles
Pages for closed recruitments stay online for reference. After a set period they are marked archived, show a banner pointing to the exam hub for the current cycle, and are never edited to show newer dates — a new page is published instead.
7. People and independence
The site is edited by the named editor shown on every page and on the author page linked from every post. We are not a government body and have no affiliation with any recruitment authority. We never charge for information, never sell forms, and never promise a job. Advertising, when present, is limited to a few clearly separated units and never influences what is published.
