The rules this record holds itself to
These are not editorial preferences. They are what makes this different from a directory, and each of them is checkable against any page here.
- Nothing is sold to an institution
- No membership, no featured badge, no sponsored row, no priority listing. No college can pay to appear, to appear higher, or to change what is written about it.
- Every figure carries its source and its date
- Not a footnote on the page but a field on the record. The claim being made is not “this is true”, it is “this is what the document said on this date”.
- No ratings and no rankings
- No score, no star, no placement percentage and no pass-rate claim we did not read off the university’s own published result. Lists are alphabetical and say so.
- Empty stays empty
- Where a college has published nothing, the page says so. No estimates, no “contact college for fees”, nothing filled in from a directory.
- A college’s own website is a source; copy a college sends us is not
- A published page, read on a date and cited by URL, is how a figure enters the record. A prospectus emailed in is a lead to go and check, not publishable text.
EduLibrary is published by Imperial College of Engineering, Tathali, Bhaktapur, which is one of the colleges listed in this record. It appears on the same fields, the same code path and the same empty cells as every other, and it cannot be moved up a list or given a figure it has not published.
