Editorial & Fact-Checking Policy

Authoritative Verification Protocol for State & Central Examination Content

Astra Exam Studio adheres to strict pedagogical, legal, and academic verification guidelines to ensure that all practice questions, statutory summaries, and daily publications maintain the highest level of factual reliability.

1. Primary Source Whitelist

Every multiple-choice question, answer key justification, and revision summary published on Astra Exam Studio is authenticated against official primary documentation:

• Government Publications: Official Gazette of India, Assam Gazette, and Press Information Bureau (PIB).
• Statutory Enactments: Bare Acts published by the Legislative Department, Ministry of Law and Justice (Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita 2023, Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita 2023, Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam 2023).
• Academic Baselines: NCERT Class 9–12 textbooks, National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS), and publications from the Assam State Archives.
• Recruitment Commissions: Master question keys released by SLPRB Assam and APSC.

2. Multi-Stage Inspection Gate

Before questions or study notes are pushed to the live portal, they undergo an 8-point verification check:

1. Syllabus Relevance: Verification that the concept maps directly to the active exam syllabus.
2. Answer Key Unambiguity: Ensuring only one option is unambiguously correct according to current statutory provisions.
3. Distractor Validity: Plausible and informative incorrect options designed to test nuanced candidate understanding.
4. Bilingual Accuracy: Terminological consistency between English and regional language versions.
5. Zero Outdated Law: Elimination of obsolete Indian Penal Code (IPC) and Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC) provisions that have been superseded by 2023 enactments.

3. Transparent Correction Protocol

If an aspirant or subject specialist identifies a typo, ambiguous key, or conflicting factual authority, our editorial desk reviews the submission within 24 hours. Validated updates are reflected immediately in the daily database and highlighted in subsequent revision editions.

To submit a factual correction, email our desk at support@astraexamstudio.com with the question ID and primary reference.
