PSTET is committed to accuracy in everything we publish. Indian government exam information, recruitment notifications, admit cards, answer keys, results, cut-off marks, and merit lists directly affect the lives of students and job aspirants. We take that responsibility seriously, and when we get something wrong we correct it openly.
When we issue a correction
We issue a correction whenever any factual element of an article is found to be inaccurate. This includes, but is not limited to:
- Examination dates, application deadlines, or notification periods
- Vacancy numbers, eligibility criteria, age limits, or pay scales
- Cut-off marks, qualifying scores, or category-wise reservations
- Direct links to official documents or government portals
- Names of officials, institutions, examination bodies, or boards
- Numerical data including statistics, fees, and counts
- Quotations attributed to officials or government communications
How we handle corrections
When an error is identified, we follow this process:
- The article is updated with the correct information as quickly as possible.
- The page’s
dateModifiedtimestamp is updated to reflect when the correction was made. - For substantive corrections that change the meaning of the article, a clear correction note is added at the top or bottom of the page identifying what was wrong and what has been changed.
- For minor corrections (typos, formatting), the article is silently updated without a correction note.
- If the original error was syndicated to social media, we issue a follow-up post correcting it.
How to report an error
If you believe an article on PSTET contains a factual error, please contact us. Provide the article URL, the specific text you believe is incorrect, the correct information, and (where possible) a link to an authoritative source supporting the correction. Examples of authoritative sources include official government notifications, examination board press releases, official answer keys, and gazette publications.
You can reach our editorial team through the contact details on our About page. We aim to acknowledge correction requests within 24 hours and resolve them within 72 hours where the underlying source is verifiable.
When official information changes
Government examination notifications are sometimes amended or revised after publication. When the original source has changed, for example, when an examination body postpones a date, revises a vacancy count, or releases a corrected answer key, we update the corresponding article and timestamp the change. In these cases, the “error” is in the official source, not in our reporting; the article is still updated to reflect the current accurate information.
