Accuracy is the foundation of Timely India (timelyindia.com). In the digital age, rumors, fake exam dates, and photoshopped result alerts spread rapidly across social media, causing immense stress to students. Our Fact-Checking Policy ensures that every exam date, notification, link, and result published on our platform is 100% authentic and verified.

1. Primary Sourcing Standard
We do not consider social media posts, third-party blogs, forums, or WhatsApp forwards as valid sources of information. An update is only considered “factual” and ready for publication when it is verified through:
- Official Portals: Direct verification from official government websites (e.g., NTA, CBSE, SSC, UPSC, and State Education Boards).
- Official Documents: Verifying authorized notification PDFs, gazettes, press releases, or official notices digitally signed by exam controllers or board authorities.
- Direct Communication: Press releases issued to reputable national news agencies by the respective education departments.

2. Our Fact-Checking Process
Before any high-stakes information (such as NEET, JEE, Board Results, or SSC recruitment updates) goes live, our verification team performs the following checks:
- Source Authentication: Checking the secure domain (e.g., `.gov.in` or `.nic.in`) of the source website to protect readers from phishing and fraudulent look-alike portals.
- Cross-Verification of Data: Verifying that the dates, registration links, and seat vacancies mentioned in our draft exactly match the official PDF tables.
- URL Validation: Testing all result and admit card links internally to ensure they direct our users straight to the official government result servers safely.
