Editorial Policy

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:

  1. Official portal of the conducting authority (e.g., upsc.gov.in, ssc.nic.in)
  2. Press Information Bureau (PIB) releases for cabinet-approved announcements
  3. Gazette of India for statutory notifications
  4. Official social-media handles of the recruiting body
  5. Established news sources (PTI, ANI, The Hindu, Indian Express, Times of India) — only for context, never as primary source for critical facts
  6. 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).

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.

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.
