Resultpedia is an independent information portal covering Indian government recruitment, examinations, and welfare schemes. Our mission is to make government opportunities accessible, accurate, and easy to understand for every aspirant. Our editorial policy describes how we source, write, fact-check, and update content.
1. Source hierarchy
For every notification, result, admit card, answer key, or scheme we publish, we follow this source order:
- Official portal of the conducting authority (e.g., upsc.gov.in, ssc.nic.in)
- Press Information Bureau (PIB) releases for cabinet-approved announcements
- Gazette of India for statutory notifications
- Official social-media handles of the recruiting body
- Established news sources (PTI, ANI, The Hindu, Indian Express, Times of India) — only for context, never as primary source for critical facts
- Coaching-institute coverage — used only as a cross-check, never primary
We link to the official source on every page.
2. Authorship
Every published page carries a byline of a named author with verifiable credentials (LinkedIn, exam credentials, journalistic experience). Author profiles are published at our author profiles and include credentials, areas of expertise, and contact channels.
3. Fact-checking
Before publishing, every notification page is reviewed by a second editor against the official PDF. We publish a "Sources" section at the bottom of every notification page listing the official URL, gazette reference (if any), and PIB reference (if any). The second-editor review is non-optional — a page that has not been signed off by a second editor in the admin sits in draft and is not crawled by Google (we emit noindex, follow on draft URLs to prevent leakage).
The fact-checking pass specifically verifies: (a) total-vacancy count matches the figure in the official advertisement, including the post-wise and category-wise split; (b) the application-start, application-close, fee-payment-close, correction-window and exam dates on our page match the dates in the official PDF; (c) the eligibility text on our page is a faithful summary of the eligibility clause in the source, not a re-interpretation; (d) the application-fee table matches the fee schedule, including category exemptions and payment-mode restrictions; (e) the source link still resolves to the live PDF or live portal. Pages that fail any of these checks go back to the desk editor with the failure noted, and only ship once the failure is fixed.
3A. Use of generative-AI tooling
Editors may use generative-AI tools for first-pass summarisation, Hindi-to-English translation drafts, and routine formatting work — for example, converting a long official PDF into a draft bullet list, or producing a working English version of a Hindi-only notification. All such output is treated as a first draft, not as publishable content. A human editor reads the draft against the source PDF, rewrites it in our voice, fact-checks every number, and signs off. We never auto-publish AI output. We do not use AI to generate vacancy figures, exam dates, or any other number that an aspirant would act on. AI is also not used to write author bios, editorial bylines, or any first-person editorial commentary — those are written by the named editor.
4. Updates and revisions
- The dateModified is updated whenever a page changes.
- For minor edits (typo, broken link), we update silently.
- For substantive changes (revised dates, new vacancies, corrigendum), we add a "Updates" section at the top of the page and version-control the change in our internal log.
5. Corrections
If a reader spots an error, they can email editorial@resultpedia.com or use the "Report an error" button on each page. We respond within 2 working days and publish corrections with a "Correction notice" appended to the page. See Correction Policy.
5A. Unverified and tentative information
For exams where the official notification has not yet released — but where the recruitment calendar, prior-year notification or RTI replies give a strong indication of what is coming — we sometimes publish a "pre-notification" page covering the expected dates, indicative vacancy ranges and previous-year reference data. These pages carry an explicit "Tentative — official PDF not yet released" banner near the top, hedge every uncertain number with "(expected)" or "(per prior-year notification)", and link to the relevant prior-year source so the reader can verify. Once the official PDF lands, the same URL is upgraded in-place: the banner is removed, tentative figures are replaced with confirmed figures, and the page's last-verified date is bumped.
6. Independence and conflicts of interest
- We accept advertising and sponsorships, but advertising never influences editorial coverage.
- Sponsored content is clearly labelled "Sponsored" and is editorially separate from notification coverage.
- Affiliate links to coaching platforms are disclosed at the point of placement.
- Editors do not hold financial interests in coaching brands they review.
7. Reader privacy and engagement
We do not require accounts to read content. Comments, when launched, are moderated for spam and abuse. We protect reader data per Privacy Policy.
8. Languages
We publish primarily in English with Hindi keywords (सरकारी रिजल्ट, सरकारी नौकरी, एडमिट कार्ड) integrated where readers naturally search for them. A full Hindi edition of the site is on the roadmap and will launch when a dedicated Hindi-language editor joins the team — we'd rather ship no Hindi than half-translated Hindi.
