Fact-Checking Policy

How IlmGhar verifies information: the sources we trust, our preference for official announcements, and how we update and correct facts.

Accuracy is at the heart of IlmGhar. This Fact-Checking Policy explains how we verify the information we publish and how we correct it when something needs to change.

How We Verify Facts

Every important claim — especially dates, results, fees, eligibility, and admission criteria — is checked against reliable evidence before publication. We favour official announcements and primary sources, and we cross-reference details across more than one source when possible.

Sources We Rely On

  • Examination boards and their official notifications.
  • Universities, colleges, and their admission offices.
  • Testing services such as those conducting MDCAT, ECAT, and NTS assessments.
  • Government departments and official education authorities.
  • Other credible, verifiable public records.

Preference for Official Sources

When information differs between sources, official announcements always take priority. Where an official reference is available, we link to it so readers can verify the details directly. We also remind readers, through our Disclaimer, to confirm time-sensitive details with the issuing authority.

Update Process

When facts change — for example, when a board revises a date sheet or a university extends a deadline — we update the affected pages as quickly as possible and revise any related content to keep it consistent.

Correction Process

If we discover or are informed of an error, we review it against the evidence and correct confirmed mistakes promptly. Readers can report inaccuracies at any time; details of how we handle this are in our Corrections Policy. To flag something now, please contact us.
