At SaintUmarCollege.in, we are committed to maintaining the highest standards of accuracy, clarity, and credibility. While we are not affiliated with the official Saint Umar College, our mission is to serve as a reliable educational information platform for students, parents, and academic communities.
This Fact-Checking Policy outlines how we verify content before publication and how we respond to corrections or reader feedback.
1. Purpose
The goal of this Fact-Checking Policy is to ensure that all content published on our website is factual, well-researched, and responsibly sourced. It applies to news articles, academic updates, admissions info, guides, notices, blog posts, and any multimedia content.
2. Verification Process
- Every article undergoes review by at least one editor before publication.
- Contributors are instructed to submit only accurate content supported by verifiable and reliable sources.
- We prefer to use primary sources, such as:
- Government websites and official notifications
- School or college circulars
- Examination boards and affiliated institutions
- For complex or technical subjects, we cross-check facts using trusted academic and educational references.
3. Source Standards
We follow strict guidelines when selecting sources for our content. These include:
- Primary Sources: Official announcements, public documents, academic portals, institutional notices
- Reputable Media: Verified reporting from trusted education-focused platforms
- Educational Journals: Peer-reviewed papers or research publications
- Subject Experts: Opinions or interviews from qualified educationists or field specialists
4. Anonymous Sources
We avoid using anonymous sources unless:
- The information is of significant public relevance, and
- The source’s identity must be protected for ethical or security reasons
In such cases, anonymity is granted only after approval from the editorial lead.
5. AI-Assisted Content
While we may use AI tools to:
- Generate summaries
- Check grammar or structure
- Suggest titles or keywords
All final editorial decisions, including factual verification, are done manually by our human editorial team. No content is auto-published without review.
6. Corrections and Updates
If any content is found to be factually inaccurate:
- We correct it promptly and transparently.
- Minor corrections are updated quietly with a timestamp.
- Major corrections include an editorial note explaining the update.
- We keep a record of major changes to evaluate our editorial practices.
7. Reader Feedback
We welcome readers to report errors, outdated information, or misleading claims. You can contact us directly at:
Email:drifttoday0@gmail.com
We aim to review and respond to all feedback within 24–48 hours.
8. Editorial Responsibility
- Writers: Responsible for accurate research and credible sourcing
- Editors: Review submissions for factual integrity and context
- Admin/Publishers: Approve final versions and manage corrections if needed
9. Policy Review
This Fact-Checking Policy is reviewed periodically to ensure it reflects our evolving editorial standards, audience expectations, and new technological practices.
Any updates to this policy will be reflected on this page with a revised effective date.
