At CSEguide.com, accuracy is not optional — it is foundational. This Fact Checking Policy outlines how we verify information, validate sources, and maintain factual integrity across all content published.

Our Commitment to Accuracy

CSEguide.com is committed to publishing content that is factually accurate, verifiable, and aligned with official sources, especially in the context of Civil Services, State PCS, and other government examinations.

Given the high-stakes nature of competitive examinations, we recognize that even minor inaccuracies can mislead aspirants. Therefore, every reasonable effort is made to ensure correctness before publication.

Primary Sources of Verification

Information published on CSEguide.com is verified using one or more of the following:

  • Official Government of India publications and websites
  • Gazette notifications, bills, acts, and policy documents
  • Standard NCERT textbooks and government-recommended sources
  • Reports from constitutional and statutory bodies
  • Official press releases and verified institutional data

Secondary sources, where used, are clearly contextualized and cross-verified against primary or authoritative references.

Fact-Checking Workflow

  1. Content Research: Writers collect information from authoritative, primary, and syllabus-aligned sources.
  2. Source Cross-Verification: Key facts, dates, names, data points, and definitions are cross-checked against multiple reliable references.
  3. Editorial Review: Editors review content for factual accuracy, logical consistency, and contextual correctness.
  4. Pre-Publish Validation: Content is evaluated for relevance to the examination syllabus and current policy framework.

Handling Current Affairs & News-Based Content

For news and current affairs articles, priority is given to timeliness combined with verification.

Facts are validated using official announcements, government portals, and primary documents. Speculation, unverified claims, and anonymous sources are avoided.

Where developments are evolving, articles are clearly updated with timestamps and contextual explanations.

Use of Data, Statistics, and Reports

Statistical data, economic figures, and report-based insights are sourced from credible institutions such as government ministries, international organizations, or statutory bodies.

Wherever applicable, the original source, year, and context of the data are mentioned to avoid misinterpretation.

Despite rigorous processes, if an error is identified:

  • The content is reviewed promptly
  • Corrections are made transparently
  • Significant updates are clearly noted within the article

We view corrections as a part of responsible publishing and continuous improvement.
