MBA admissions decisions cost lakhs of rupees and shape entire careers. Getting a number, cut-off, or eligibility criterion wrong has real consequences. This policy explains how MBA Compass verifies facts before publication and how we correct errors after the fact.
1. Pre-publication fact checks
- Numerical claims (cut-offs, fees, batch size, placement averages) are cross-checked against at least one primary source — the institute's official website, an official placement report, an exam conducting body's notification, or a verifiable government dataset (NIRF, AICTE).
- Dates (exam, application, result, GD-PI) are confirmed against the most recent official notification at the time of publication and are re-verified at every refresh.
- Quotes attributed to a person or institute are confirmed against the original source — press release, transcript, or written statement.
- Reader-contributed data is labelled as such and never represented as official institute data.
2. Sources we do not rely on alone
- Anonymous social-media posts.
- Unverified WhatsApp / Telegram forwards.
- Single-user reviews (treated as opinion, not fact).
- AI-generated text without a verifiable upstream source.
3. How to report an error
Email suyash@bschoolbuzz.in with:
- The URL of the page.
- The exact statement you believe is incorrect.
- Your source for the correct information (link, screenshot, or document).
We acknowledge receipt within two working days.
4. How corrections are made
- Minor edits (typos, formatting, broken links) are made silently.
- Material corrections (a wrong number, date, eligibility criterion, or quote) are made in-line, and an explicit "Correction" note is added at the top of the page describing what was changed and when.
- Significant errors that may have misled readers (for example a wrong cut-off during an active admission cycle) trigger an additional update on our social channels and, where appropriate, direct notification to users who interacted with the page.
5. Takedown requests
If an institute, individual, or organisation believes content about them is defamatory, inaccurate, or violates a legal right, they can write to suyash@bschoolbuzz.in. We respond within seven working days with our findings.
6. AI-generated content
We use AI tools to assist with research and drafting. Every published page passes through a human editor who is accountable for the accuracy of every factual claim. We do not publish raw AI output as editorial content.
