How We Verify Government Jobs – Our Editorial Policy

People make career decisions on the basis of what they read here, so accuracy matters more to us than speed. This page explains where our information comes from and what we do when something is wrong.

1. Official sources only

We take every detail from the official notification published by the recruiting organisation, on its own website: for example ssc.gov.in, upsc.gov.in, the Railway Recruitment Boards, the banks, IBPS, state public service commissions and staff selection boards, police recruitment boards and courts. Other job websites are never used as a source. When we hear about a recruitment elsewhere, we first find it on the official website.

2. Checked against the notification

Before a job is published we check it against the official notification PDF: the name of the post, number of vacancies, qualification, age limit, fee, important dates and the apply link. Every job page links to the official notification and the official website so that you can check it yourself.

3. Held back when unsure

We use tools to watch official websites every day and to prepare listings from the official documents. Anything that cannot be confirmed, for example a figure that is unclear in the PDF, is held back as a draft until it has been checked. We would rather publish a few hours later than publish a wrong date.

4. Kept up to date

When a recruiter extends a last date, publishes a corrigendum or releases an admit card, answer key or result, we add it to the job page with the date it was released. Closed recruitments stay online so that candidates who applied can follow the later stages.

5. Corrections

If you find a mistake, please tell us through the contact page with a link to the official notice. We check every report against the official source and correct the page as soon as we can.

6. Always confirm before you apply

Recruiters sometimes change details after a notification is published. The official notification is always final, so read it in full before you apply, and apply only on the official website. Government recruiters never ask for money to give a job; if anyone does, it is a fraud.
