Our Commitment to Prompt and Transparent Corrections

The StudyDesk Corrections Policy establishes our institutional commitment to prompt, transparent, and rigorous correction of any factual error. In the fast-moving domain of national entrance examinations and government scholarship portals, regulatory bodies frequently release corrigenda, extend application deadlines, or revise eligibility cutoffs with little advance warning.

When an error or outdated figure is detected in our coverage, our responsibility is to rectify it promptly, communicate the change transparently, and ensure students relying on our guides are not misinformed.

The Step-by-Step Corrections Workflow

  1. 1. Receipt and TriageCorrection submissions received via email or editorial checks are logged immediately. Our editorial desk assesses whether the matter involves a critical deadline, eligibility rule, or minor typographical detail.
  2. 2. Primary Source Cross-VerificationEditors independently verify the correction against original government gazettes, court orders, or official examination board releases. We do not accept secondary blog reports as proof.
  3. 3. Immediate Canonical RectificationThe verified change is implemented directly on the canonical article. The 'modified_at' timestamp is updated, and if the change affects student decisions significantly, an editorial notice is placed at the top of the article.
  4. 4. Submitter NotificationIf a reader submitted the report with contact details, our team replies within 24 hours explaining the outcome of the review.

Substantive Revisions vs. Minor Clarifications

We distinguish between minor formatting fixes and substantive factual revisions:

  • Substantive Revisions: Changes to examination dates, registration deadlines, application fees, age limitations, or qualifying percentage criteria. These trigger immediate timestamp updates and an explicit revision note.
  • Minor Clarifications: Correcting typographical errors, updating broken outbound links, or enhancing visual card assets. These are deployed continuously without requiring disruptive notices.

Frequently asked questions

What information should I include when reporting an error?

Please include the exact article URL, the specific sentence or figure in question, and a link to the primary official source (such as an NTA or CBSE circular) confirming the correct information.

Do you delete outdated articles when an exam cycle finishes?

No. We archive the status clearly as 'Closed' or update the canonical URL for the subsequent academic cycle, ensuring students researching past cutoffs and trends maintain access to verified records.
