Fact-Checking Policy

At UCEP.in, we take pride in being a reliable and trustworthy source for aspirants seeking accurate information on government jobs, exam notifications, results, and career guidance in India. In the competitive and fast-moving world of public sector recruitment, accuracy is not a luxury—it is a necessity. Our fact-checking policy ensures that every article we publish is thoroughly verified, up-to-date, and sourced from credible platforms.

This page outlines how we fact-check our content, the types of sources we rely on, and how we handle corrections—reinforcing our commitment to journalistic integrity.

1. Scope of Fact-Checking

The fact-checking process at UCEP.in applies to all types of content, including:

  • ✅ Job notifications from central and state governments (UPSC, SSC, IBPS, RRB, etc.)

  • ✅ Exam admit cards, dates, and result updates

  • ✅ Current affairs and general knowledge articles for exam preparation

  • ✅ Career advice, interview tips, and guidance articles

  • ✅ Infographics, cutoff analysis, and data-based reports

Whether it’s a breaking notification or a recurring exam pattern guide, every fact is verified to maintain reader trust and informative accuracy.

2. Our Fact-Checking Workflow

We follow a three-tiered process to ensure factual accuracy in all our content:

Step 1: Writer-Level Verification

Our writers are trained to:

  • Prioritize primary sources such as official government websites (like SSC.nic.in, UPSC.gov.in, etc.)

  • Cross-check every job detail—such as eligibility, number of vacancies, application deadlines, and age limits—against official PDF notifications.

  • Cite secondary sources like Employment News, PTI, and ANI only for supportive confirmation.

  • Provide screenshots or links of source documents to the editorial team for transparency.

Step 2: Editorial Oversight

Before publication, our editors:

  • Double-check key data points including dates, figures, and procedures.

  • Ensure multiple trusted sources are referenced for high-stake content.

  • Validate that the post adheres to UCEP.in’s style, clarity, and tone guidelines while maintaining factual correctness.

  • Use digital verification tools such as reverse image search, Google Fact Check, and official portals for additional validation.

Step 3: Final Review by Fact-Checking Team

Every article undergoes a final clearance by our dedicated fact-checking team. This team:

  • Ensures all claims, facts, and stats are fully verified.

  • Flags discrepancies or inconsistencies for resolution.

  • Only publishes content after 100% factual assurance.

3. Trusted Sources We Rely On

Accuracy starts with source credibility. At UCEP.in, we base our content only on verifiable and official sources, including:

  • 🟢 Official Government Portals (SSC, UPSC, RRB, IBPS, NTA, etc.)

  • 🟢 Ministries & Departments (MoE, PIB releases, DoPT updates)

  • 🟢 Authoritative News Agencies (Press Trust of India – PTI, ANI, Employment News)

  • 🟢 Official PDFs, press releases, and circulars

  • 🟢 Exam authorities’ official websites and public announcements

We never publish information from unverified social media handles, blogs, or speculative posts.

4. Error Handling and Corrections

We understand that errors can happen, especially when government notifications change rapidly. At UCEP.in, we act swiftly and responsibly when an error is identified.

If a mistake is found:

  • We correct it immediately after re-verification.

  • A correction note is added for complete transparency.

  • Major changes (e.g., eligibility error, date misprint) are highlighted clearly in the article.

  • Readers can report inaccuracies by contacting us at editor@ucep.in. Every feedback is investigated with urgency.

5. Maintaining High Standards

To ensure we maintain our promise of factual content, we continuously invest in:

Team Training

  • Regular fact-checking workshops for writers and editors.

  • Training on Google reverse search, PDF verification tools, and how to interpret government releases.

  • Sessions with career counselors and subject-matter experts to verify exam-related data.

Content Audits

  • Monthly internal reviews of published articles for factual relevance.

  • Updating or removing outdated information based on new official announcements.

  • Continuous reader feedback loop to improve accuracy and user experience.

6. What We Don’t Publish

To preserve editorial credibility, UCEP.in has a strict policy against:

  • ❌ Rumors, leaks, or speculative news

  • ❌ User-generated content without verification

  • ❌ Promotional or sponsored content disguised as news

  • ❌ Clickbait headlines that mislead readers

Every article must meet our factual accuracy checklist before being published.

7. Commitment to Transparency

UCEP.in is an independent platform. We are not affiliated with any government body, nor do we publish content under external influence. If an article is sponsored, it will be clearly labeled to distinguish it from editorial content.

We do not accept payment in exchange for favorable coverage or to influence recruitment-related reporting.

8. Reader Role in Fact-Checking

We consider our readers as an extension of our editorial integrity. If you:

  • Find incorrect information

  • Notice broken links or outdated content

  • Have additional official references to share

Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us via editor@ucep.in.
