Editorial & Review Independence Policy

1. Strict Separation of Editorial & Commercial Operations

CAREER 720 maintains an impenetrable firewall between commercial operations and editorial review auditing:

• Rankings Cannot Be Purchased: No institute can buy top placement on our search index, comparison tool, or category lists.
• Negative Reviews Cannot Be Deleted for Money: Verified negative feedback reflecting authentic student dissatisfaction remains published regardless of commercial sponsorship or advertising requests.
• Sponsored Content Labeling: Any promotional or institutional partner feature is prominently marked with a distinct "SPONSORED" or "ADVERTISEMENT" badge.

2. Conflict of Interest Guidelines

All CAREER 720 editors, field inspectors, and academic researchers must sign annual conflict-of-interest declarations. No editorial staff member may:

• Hold equity, advisory positions, or lecture fees from any reviewed coaching academy.
• Accept complimentary gifts, travel, or lodging from institute promoters during on-ground audits.

3. Investigative Fact-Checking Standards

Every article published on our Blog Desk (e.g. analysis of Old Rajinder Nagar rents, CLAT test series comparisons, or hidden fee breakdowns) must cite verifiable primary sources: official fee circulars, court judgments, consumer grievance filings, or on-record interviews.

4. Whistleblower & Student Protection

Students and parents who report safety hazards (such as overcrowded basement libraries or fire code violations) are protected under our Strict Source Confidentiality Charter. Identifying details are never disclosed to institute management without explicit written authorization.

5. Editorial Board Contact

Questions regarding our editorial integrity or investigation standards can be sent directly to the Editor-in-Chief at editor@career720.in.
