At skksgccmaninagar.org, we understand that accuracy is not just a responsibility—it is a foundation of trust. As an educational and finance-focused platform operated under Shri K.K. Shastri Government Commerce College (SKKSGCC), Maninagar, we are committed to publishing content that is factually accurate, thoroughly verified, and trustworthy.
This Fact-Check Policy outlines our methodology for verifying the authenticity and accuracy of all information before it is published. It applies to all forms of content across our website including academic notices, finance articles, college updates, and blog posts.
If you notice any discrepancy in our content, you are encouraged to contact us at skksgccm@gmail.com.
Our Commitment to Accuracy
We strive to ensure that:
- All data and statements are supported by credible evidence or authoritative sources.
- No misinformation, misrepresentation, or misleading headlines are presented.
- Errors or outdated content are corrected in a timely and transparent manner.
- Readers can easily distinguish between factual reporting, analysis, and opinion.
Our fact-checking process is embedded into every stage of content development—from research and writing to final publication.
Types of Information We Verify
We fact-check and validate the following categories of content before publishing:
1. Academic Notices & Schedules
- Admission dates, deadlines, and merit lists
- Timetables, examination patterns, and result announcements
- University circulars and government education mandates
2. Finance & Career Information
- Eligibility and syllabus of finance-related exams (CA, CS, CFA, etc.)
- Salary expectations, employment statistics, and industry trends
- Regulatory information from financial institutions (RBI, SEBI, ICAI)
3. Institutional Information
- College facilities, fees, academic structure, and course details
- Faculty achievements, placement statistics, and accreditation
4. Local & Regional Updates
- Student support programs, scholarships, and internships
- Campus events or state-level education drives
We avoid reporting on speculative, unverified, or sensational content. If any such topic is covered (e.g., budget expectations or market forecasts), it is clearly labeled as opinion or prediction.
Our Fact-Checking Process
Our editorial and research teams follow a multi-step verification process to ensure authenticity:
Step 1: Source Selection
We start by identifying and prioritizing information from:
- Government bodies (UGC, CHE Gujarat, Ministry of Education)
- Official university and college websites (including Gujarat University)
- Regulatory authorities (ICAI, RBI, SEBI, NISM, etc.)
- Recognized research journals, whitepapers, and academic publishers
We avoid using content from personal blogs, unofficial forums, or social media unless it is linked to an original source.
Step 2: Cross-Verification
We validate facts across at least two independent and reliable sources. For example:
- Admission schedules are checked against both Gujarat University and CHE Gujarat portals.
- Finance exam data is verified using official institutes like ICAI or CFA Institute.
Step 3: Internal Review
Content undergoes a peer review within the editorial team:
- Citations are checked for correctness.
- Context is validated to prevent misinterpretation.
- Any conflicting data is flagged for further research.
Step 4: Expert Input (if needed)
If a topic is complex—such as updates to GST regulations or finance law—we consult subject matter experts from our college or external advisors before finalizing.
Criteria for Assessing Sources
We assess the trustworthiness of every source using the following standards:
- Authority: Is the source published by an official institution or licensed body?
- Reputation: Is the publication known for accuracy in the field?
- Recency: Is the data current, especially for time-sensitive topics like admissions?
- Objectivity: Does the source present neutral and verifiable information?
If the source fails to meet these criteria, we exclude it from citation.
Handling Corrections and Updates
We recognize that even with stringent processes, occasional errors may occur. We are committed to correcting inaccuracies transparently and promptly.
Correction Policy:
- Minor factual errors (dates, figures, names) are corrected immediately.
- Major corrections are updated with a visible note on the article indicating the change.
- Time-sensitive content (such as admission schedules) is periodically reviewed and updated with the latest details.
Readers can request a correction by contacting us at skksgccm@gmail.com with a link to the article and the specific issue.
Identifying Misinformation
We train our editorial team to identify common forms of misinformation such as:
- Fabricated statistics or charts
- Outdated or misleading academic information
- Exaggerated claims regarding finance careers or college facilities
- Fake scholarship offers or unrecognized certification claims
When we encounter such content elsewhere, we do not republish or reference it. If we find such content circulating in our community, we actively issue a correction or clarification article
