SuperTET.com Editorial Policy

1. How Content Is Researched

Our research methodology begins with monitoring primary regulatory conduits: official gazette notifications issued by the Government of Uttar Pradesh, announcements from the Uttar Pradesh Education Service Selection Commission (UPESSC, Prayagraj), and previous examination archives from the Examination Regulatory Authority (PNP Prayagraj).

Every article published on SuperTET.com undergoes multi-source factual verification before publication. We analyze original government orders (GOs), statutory eligibility guidelines under the National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE), and prescribed SCERT Uttar Pradesh elementary curricula rather than relying on secondary commentary or social media rumors.

2. How Official Sources Are Checked

Authentic government notifications, state gazette orders, and official press releases take absolute precedence over unconfirmed reports, coaching assertions, or viral messaging. When draft blueprints or proposed frameworks are released by departmental committees, we explicitly declare them as administrative proposals rather than final gazetted rules.

We directly cite and link to authorized government websites (such as upessc.up.gov.in and basiceducation.up.gov.in), enabling students to inspect official source documents independently.

3. Content Freshness & Verification Methodology

To maintain strict editorial integrity and prevent misleading search engine freshness signals, SuperTET.com operates under a rigid, transparent date standard:

• Last Updated: Displayed only when an article has undergone material, substantive editorial revision or factual updating. Minor typographical corrections, CSS styling fixes, or code refactoring do not alter this date.
• Last Verified: The exact date on which all relevant factual claims on the page were re-checked and validated against primary government sources (such as UPESSC gazettes).
• What Changed: Every significant factual revision is accompanied by a specific, granular change summary disclosing exactly what parameters were modified.
• Historical Preservation: Historical content (e.g. past recruitment cycle cutoff tables or previous merit formulas) is never given artificial current timestamps.

4. How Corrections Are Handled

We maintain absolute transparency regarding factual accuracy. If a typographical error, broken reference link, or outdated regulatory clause is identified by our team or reported by our readers, we evaluate the submission against authoritative sources within 24 to 48 hours.

When an error is confirmed, we immediately update the affected page and note significant corrections. Readers can learn about our formal correction intake and workflow on our dedicated Corrections Policy page.

5. How Authors Contribute

Content on SuperTET.com is written by qualified educational researchers, subject matter specialists, and our core editorial desk. Every contributor adheres to strict authoring guidelines: factual neutrality, zero speculative clickbait, clear attribution of government sources, and student-focused clarity.

Each contributor has a dedicated public profile detailing their background, areas of expertise, subjects covered, and authored articles. You can inspect all contributor profiles in our Authors Directory.

6. How Reviewers Are Assigned

High-stakes informational content — particularly legal eligibility interpretations (e.g. B.Ed vs D.El.Ed qualifications), scoring rules, negative marking formulas, and historical Gunank merit calculations — is subjected to peer or senior editorial review before release.

We never claim that an article was reviewed by a specialist unless an actual designated reviewer has validated the data. Where a reviewer has verified the content, their attribution and review date are explicitly visible in the article's author metadata.

7. How Outdated & Historical Information Is Handled

Information from historical recruitment cycles (such as the 68,500 and 69,000 assistant teacher recruitments) provides valuable context for candidates understanding competition levels and question patterns. However, historical data can easily cause confusion if misapplied to current exams.

We explicitly label past recruitment data with HISTORICAL tags and clarify where previous formulas (such as the 60:40 Gunank weightage) may be revised by the newly constituted commission.

8. How Source Information Is Presented

Where information is derived from an official syllabus document, examination blueprint, or government press release, we provide visible source attribution blocks containing:

• Source Name: The issuing government body (e.g. UPESSC, PNP Prayagraj, UP Basic Education Department).
• Official URL: Direct outbound link to the authorized government portal.
• Verification Date: The exact date on which our editorial team authenticated the information against the primary source.

We never label private coaching assertions or speculative blogs as "official."

9. Maintaining Editorial Accuracy & Legal Neutrality

To protect teacher aspirants from unnecessary stress and false expectations, we maintain a strict policy against clickbait headlines and fabricated release dates. Dates that have not been officially announced are clearly marked as TBA.

Furthermore, judicial matters — including High Court and Supreme Court verdicts regarding reservation rosters, cut-off disputes, and eligibility rules — are reported objectively, neutrally, and accurately based solely on official operative orders.
