Our approach to helping readers evaluate public information and find original sources.
We aim to link announcements to the relevant government department, institution, or original notification. A portal link does not by itself confirm a specific vacancy or deadline. Always read the original notice before applying.
Verification dates should represent an actual review of the source. Where an announcement has not been individually checked, its verification status should remain unconfirmed rather than displaying an invented date.
Application dates and open or closed status must come from the specific official notice. Some informational pages have no application deadline. When dates are uncertain, consult the source directly.
Found incorrect information, an outdated announcement, or a broken official link? Use the form below to prepare a correction report with supporting evidence.

Before applying for a job, scholarship, admission, or government scheme, check the original official notice. These guides explain what different information labels mean.
The specific announcement has been checked against its original official source.
Information needs another check because it may have changed or become outdated.
The announcement has not been individually verified. Check the official source before taking action.
A link to an official homepage does not by itself verify a particular recruitment announcement.
Applications are currently being accepted.
The confirmed application period has not started.
The confirmed application deadline has passed.
The application dates have not been established from a specific official notice.

A practical four-step approach to checking opportunities before applying. CSO helps you navigate information; the original authority makes the official decision.
Open the official department, institution or notification link. A general portal link is not proof of a particular announcement.
Check the notice against the CSO summary. Look for differences in dates, eligibility, fees and required documents.
Read the official conditions for age, education, residence, category and other requirements that apply to you.
Apply only through the application channel specified by the authority. Check the final deadline and retain your acknowledgement.
Tick each item after checking it yourself. This checklist stays on this page and does not certify an opportunity.
CSO is an independent information platform, not a government authority. Completing this checklist does not establish eligibility, verification or approval.
