At Sikhleit, accuracy is central to everything we publish. This Fact-Checking Policy explains the process we follow to verify information before and after an article goes live, in line with our commitment to Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness (E-E-A-T).
1. Source Verification
Wherever possible, factual claims — such as exam dates, eligibility criteria, university rankings, or salary figures — are cross-checked against primary, official sources, including government notifications, official university and exam-body websites, and established industry reports, rather than relying on a single secondary source.
2. Preference for Primary Sources
- Official government and university websites
- Exam-conducting authority notifications and circulars
- Recognised industry reports and labour-market data
- Direct professional experience, where relevant to the topic
3. Multi-Source Cross-Checking
For time-sensitive or high-stakes information, such as entrance exam eligibility or syllabus changes, we cross-reference at least two credible sources before publishing, and clearly attribute information where a specific source is used.
4. Author Review
Every article is reviewed by the author for factual accuracy and internal consistency before publication. We do not publish content generated without human review and verification.
5. Handling Uncertain or Changing Information
Where official information is not yet confirmed or is subject to change — such as an anticipated exam date — we clearly indicate this in the article and recommend readers verify final details on the official source.
6. Post-Publication Monitoring
Some topics, particularly entrance exams and admission processes, are revisited periodically to ensure published information remains accurate as official details are updated.
7. Reporting an Error
If you believe any information on Sikhleit is inaccurate or outdated, please let us know via our Contact page with details and, if possible, a source for the correction. We take all such reports seriously and aim to review and correct verified errors promptly.
