Fact-Checking Policy

Last Updated: August 29, 2026

At JankariBihar.in, we understand that accurate information matters, especially when readers are making decisions about government jobs, examinations, scholarships, admissions, government schemes and other important opportunities.

Our Fact-Checking Policy explains how we research, verify and update information before and after publication.

1. Our Commitment to Accuracy

We aim to publish information that is accurate, useful and understandable.

Our editorial team makes reasonable efforts to verify important facts before publishing an article. We also review information when significant changes are reported or when readers bring potential errors to our attention.

However, government rules, application dates, vacancies, eligibility conditions and other details can change after publication. For this reason, readers should always check the latest official notification for time-sensitive matters.

2. Sources We Prefer

For important factual information, we give preference to primary and authoritative sources.

Depending on the subject, these may include:

Official Government of India websites
Government of Bihar websites
Official department websites
Official recruitment notifications
Official examination authorities
Official university and college websites
Official scholarship portals
Official application portals
Official press releases and announcements
Publicly available government documents

When an official source is available, we generally prefer it over an unofficial article or social media post.

3. Verification of Government Job Information

For recruitment-related articles, we try to verify important details such as:

Organization or recruiting authority
Recruitment name
Number of vacancies
Post names
Eligibility requirements
Age limits
Application start date
Application last date
Application fee
Selection process
Examination information
Official application link

Because recruitment information can change, candidates should read the latest official notification before submitting an application.

4. Verification of Scholarship and Scheme Information

For scholarships and government schemes, we try to check relevant details including:

Name of the scheme
Responsible department or authority
Eligibility criteria
Beneficiary requirements
Application process
Important dates
Available benefits
Required documents
Official application portal

If a scheme has different rules for different categories, districts or applicant groups, we try to explain those differences clearly rather than presenting a general rule as applicable to everyone.

5. Verification of Education and Examination Information

For education-related content, we may verify information through official boards, universities, examination authorities and educational institutions.

Important details may include:

Admission dates
Examination dates
Eligibility requirements
Syllabus information
Application procedures
Fees
Results
Counselling information
Official notices

Students and candidates should check the latest notice issued by the relevant authority before relying on important dates or requirements.

6. Cross-Checking Information

Whenever practical, important information may be checked against more than one reliable source.

However, we do not treat the number of websites reporting something as proof that it is true.

For example, if several websites repeat the same recruitment date but the official recruitment authority has not confirmed it, we may treat the information as unconfirmed rather than presenting it as an official fact.

7. Social Media and Unverified Information

Social media posts, WhatsApp messages, videos and user-generated content can sometimes contain useful information, but they may also contain inaccurate or outdated claims.

We do not automatically consider information reliable simply because it is widely shared online.

When information originates from social media or another unofficial source, we try to verify the claim through an authoritative source before presenting it as confirmed information.

8. Breaking and Developing Information

Sometimes information is published while an event, recruitment process, examination or government announcement is still developing.

In such cases, we may clearly indicate that information is:

Preliminary
Reported
Expected
Subject to confirmation
Awaiting an official announcement

We avoid presenting an unconfirmed claim as a confirmed fact.

When reliable new information becomes available, we may update the article.

9. Dates and Deadlines

Dates are particularly important in job, scholarship, admission and examination articles.

Before publishing a deadline, we try to verify it using the relevant official source.

If a deadline is extended, cancelled or changed, we aim to update the article when the change is confirmed.

Readers should still check the official portal before applying, particularly close to a deadline.

10. Facts, Estimates and Opinions

We try to distinguish between confirmed facts, estimates and opinions.

Confirmed information is information supported by a reliable source.

Estimates may be clearly identified when exact figures are not available.

Opinions or general guidance are presented as such and should not be interpreted as official statements.

We do not intentionally present speculation as established fact.

11. AI-Assisted Research and Content

Technology and AI-based tools may sometimes be used to assist with research organization, drafting, proofreading or other parts of the editorial workflow.

However, AI-generated information is not treated as an authoritative source.

Important facts are reviewed against reliable sources before publication whenever verification is reasonably possible.

The JankariBihar.in editorial team remains responsible for the information published on the website.

12. Updating Published Articles

Fact-checking does not end when an article is published.

We may review and update articles when:

An official notification changes
A deadline is extended
Eligibility criteria are modified
A recruitment notice is revised
An official correction is issued
A reader reports a credible factual error
An important link stops working
New verified information becomes available

Where meaningful changes are made, we may update the article’s publication or modification information.

13. Corrections

If we discover that an article contains a factual error, we aim to correct it as soon as reasonably possible.

We do not intentionally leave known factual errors online simply to preserve an article’s original wording.

For significant corrections, we may add clarification to the relevant section so readers can understand the updated information.

14. Reader Fact-Checking Requests

Readers can report possible factual errors to our editorial team.

When contacting us, please provide:

Article title
Article URL
The specific claim you believe is incorrect
An explanation of the issue
A reliable source supporting the correction, preferably an official source

We review credible correction requests and may update the article when the information can be verified.

15. Source Transparency

Whenever appropriate, we provide links or references to relevant official sources so readers can verify important information themselves.

For government jobs, scholarships, examinations, admissions and schemes, we strongly encourage readers to review the original notification or official website before taking action.

16. What We Cannot Guarantee

Although we make reasonable efforts to maintain accurate content, we cannot guarantee that every article will remain accurate indefinitely.

Information can change because of:

Government decisions
Administrative changes
Court orders
Revised notifications
Extended or cancelled deadlines
Changes to application portals
Examination authority decisions
Other developments beyond our control

For this reason, JankariBihar.in should be considered an informational resource and not a replacement for the latest official notification.

17. Editorial Independence

Our fact-checking process is independent of advertising.

Advertisers, sponsors or commercial relationships do not determine whether a factual claim is published, corrected or removed.

Our priority is to provide useful and responsible information to our readers. Please read our Editorial Policy to know more about the process.

18. Our Fact-Checking Standard

Our basic approach is:

Find the original source → Check the information → Cross-check important facts → Publish clearly → Monitor important updates → Correct verified errors.

We believe transparency is more valuable than pretending that information can never change.

19. Contact the Editorial Team
