A high degree of accuracy is important to UPScholarshipInfo.com, particularly because students may depend on scholarship information when they apply for a scholarship, or when they are filling out application deadlines.
This policy is to clarify the process for verifying factual information.
What We Fact-Check
We pay particular attention to information such as:
– application start dates;
– application last dates;
– renewal deadlines;
– correction dates;
– institution submission deadlines;
– verification dates;
– eligibility requirements;
– income limits;
– required documents;
– scholarship amounts;
– payment schedules;
– official portal links;
– government department contact information; and
– application procedures.
Preferred Sources
Where possible, we check information using primary sources.
Our preferred source order is:
1. Official government notification
2. Official UP Scholarship portal
3. Relevant Uttar Pradesh government department
4. PFMS or another applicable government platform
5. Official educational institution notice
6. Reliable secondary publication
A third party article should not be considered more authoritative than an official Government notification.
Conflicting Information
Please note that a different date or interpretation might be seen on different web sites.
Wherever there are conflicting statements from reliable sources, we attempt to determine the most authoritative and current source.
If the information cannot be verified, we may say that the information is unconfirmed, instead of stating the information as a fact.
Older Information
Scholarship info may not be applicable from past academic years.
When writing about a new academic year, we seek to avoid assuming the same amount, eligibility criterion, procedure, etc. will continue from the previous year.
Reader Corrections
Any possible errors should be reported to readers.
If you encounter an error, include the Web site address where the error is occurring and, when available, an official source that corroborates the error.
Updates After Fact-Checking
If it has been established that there is a factual error, we try to change the relevant page as soon as reasonably possible.
