Fact-Checking Policy

Last Updated: June 05, 2025

At DBRAU (https://dbrau.org.in), our commitment to accuracy and credibility is central to our work. As an independent education news portal, we take responsibility for verifying the information we publish and ensuring that our readers can trust our content.

1. Purpose of Fact-Checking

We aim to provide truthful, verified, and up-to-date information to students, educators, and the public. Our fact-checking process ensures that:

  • Factual errors are minimized
  • Misinformation is not published
  • Sources are reliable and transparent
  • Readers can make informed decisions

2. Sources We Use

To verify content before publication, we rely on:

  • Official university websites (e.g., https://dbrau.ac.in)
  • Government portals (e.g., UGC, Ministry of Education, state education departments)
  • Press releases and public notices
  • Direct communication with officials or institutions (when possible)
  • Reputable media sources and educational organizations

Every article is reviewed to ensure the source is credible, authoritative, and up-to-date.

3. Internal Review Process

Each piece of content undergoes the following checks:

  • Initial fact-gathering by the writer
  • Verification of every statistic, date, quote, or claim
  • Editorial review to cross-check information with public records
  • Approval only after confirmation from at least one secondary source (when applicable)

4. Handling Corrections

If we discover that an error has been published:

  • We update the article as soon as possible
  • A correction note is added at the end of the article
  • The corrected information is verified with the same rigor as original reporting

We also welcome input from our readers. If you spot an error, please email us at:
[email protected]

5. AI-Generated or Third-Party Content

We do not rely on AI-generated content without human review and verification. All content on DBRAU is manually researched and edited by real people to maintain quality and trustworthiness.

6. Editorial Transparency

We clearly label:

  • Updated content when information changes (e.g., exam dates)
  • Unofficial information (e.g., projections, expected results) with disclaimers
  • Sources, when referenced or quoted, for reader validation

Final Note

Fact-checking is an ongoing responsibility. As information evolves—particularly in education—we stay committed to continuous review, timely updates, and transparency.
