Terms And Conditions

We know most people skip Terms and Conditions pages. They are usually walls of legal text that nobody reads and nobody understands. We chose to write ours differently — in plain language, specific to this website, so that anyone who does take a moment to read it actually walks away knowing what they agreed to.

Please read this before continuing to use eshikshaakosh.com.

1. What This Website Is

eshikshaakosh.com is an independent, privately operated informational website. We write guides, walkthroughs, and troubleshooting articles to help teachers, headmasters, and school staff in Bihar understand and navigate the official E-Shikshakosh portal hosted at eshikshakosh.bihar.gov.in.

We are not affiliated with the Bihar Education Department, the Bihar Education Project Council (BEPC), or any government body at the state or central level. We do not represent them, speak on their behalf, or have any official relationship with them whatsoever.

By using this website, you confirm that you understand this distinction and that you will not treat any content here as an official government communication.

2. Acceptance of These Terms

When you visit, browse, or use any part of eshikshaakosh.com, you are agreeing to these Terms and Conditions in full. If you disagree with any part of what is written here, the right thing to do is to stop using the website.

We may update these terms from time to time as the website evolves. When we do, the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page will change. We recommend checking back occasionally if you are a regular visitor. Continued use of the site after an update means you have accepted the revised terms.

3. The Information We Provide

Everything on this website — every article, guide, step-by-step walkthrough, screenshot description, FAQ, and troubleshooting tip — is published for general informational purposes only.

We put genuine effort into researching and verifying our content before publishing. We observe the official portal, follow BEPC notifications, and update our guides when the system changes. But we are an independent team, not government employees, and we do not have insider access to the official system.

This means:

Our content may occasionally be behind a recent portal update. A step we describe may look slightly different on your screen if BEPC has released changes since we last updated that article. A deadline we mention may have been revised by an official order we have not yet covered.

None of our content should be treated as a final authority on anything that has legal, financial, or administrative consequences. For anything that matters — salary disputes, transfer applications, official registrations, examination deadlines — please verify through the official portal or by contacting the relevant education department directly.

4. No Official Services Are Offered Here

We want to be completely explicit about this because the name of our website can create confusion for first-time visitors.

eshikshaakosh.com does not offer any of the following:

  • Teacher login or registration on behalf of any teacher
  • Processing of salary, leave, or attendance records
  • Official grievance filing or resolution
  • Government ID generation or verification
  • Any service that involves your personal data being submitted to a government system

If you need to do any of the above, you must go to the official portal at eshikshakosh.bihar.gov.in directly. Nobody representing this website will ever ask you to share your Teacher ID, password, Aadhaar number, or bank details with us. If anyone does, please do not comply — and report it.

5. Accuracy and Updates

We do not promise that every piece of content on this website is perfectly accurate at the moment you are reading it. The E-Shikshakosh system changes regularly — app versions update, portal interfaces are redesigned, deadlines shift, and new policy circulars replace old ones.

We commit to the following:

  • We will update articles when we become aware they are outdated
  • We will correct factual errors when they are brought to our attention
  • We will clearly note on articles when they have been reviewed and updated

What we cannot promise is real-time accuracy. There will always be a gap — sometimes a few days, sometimes a week — between an official change and our content catching up to it. Use our guides as a helpful map, but always confirm important details through the official source before acting on them.

6. Intellectual Property

All original content on eshikshaakosh.com — including the text of our articles, the structure of our guides, and the way we have explained and organised information — is our intellectual property.

You are welcome to read our content, share links to our articles, and reference our guides for personal, non-commercial use. What you may not do is copy our articles — in whole or in substantial part — and republish them on another website, social media page, YouTube channel, or any other platform without our written permission. This includes paraphrasing our content so closely that it is effectively a copy with a few words changed.

We have invested real time in creating this content. We ask that you respect that.

Screenshots of the official E-Shikshakosh portal that appear on this website remain the property of the Bihar Education Department and BEPC. We use them for illustrative and educational purposes under fair use. They are not ours to give permission for.

7. External Links

Our articles link to the official government portal and occasionally to other relevant external websites — the Google Play Store, BEPC pages, government helpdesk contacts, and similar resources.

These links are provided because we believe they are useful to our readers. However, once you click a link and leave eshikshaakosh.com, you are on a website we do not own or control. We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, availability, or privacy practices of any external website, including the official government portal itself.

Linking to something does not mean we are endorsing everything associated with it.

8. Limitation of Liability

eshikshaakosh.com and its operators will not be held liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential loss or damage that arises from your use of — or inability to use — information published on this website.

This includes situations such as:

  • Acting on a guide that was accurate when written but has since been superseded by a portal update
  • Missing an official deadline because a date mentioned on our site was not updated in time
  • Experiencing errors on the official portal after following our troubleshooting steps
  • Any technical issue, data loss, or service disruption on the official government system

We are a content website. We explain things. We do not operate the system, and we cannot be responsible for outcomes within a system we do not control.

9. No Professional Advice

Nothing on this website constitutes legal advice, financial advice, tax advice, or official administrative guidance of any kind.

If you are dealing with a salary dispute that may require legal intervention, a service book error that affects your pension eligibility, or any matter where the consequences of getting it wrong are serious — please consult a qualified professional or contact the appropriate government authority directly. Our articles are a starting point for understanding the system, not a replacement for expert or official guidance.

10. User Conduct

We ask that anyone who uses or engages with eshikshaakosh.com does so responsibly and honestly.

You agree that you will not use this website to:

  • Attempt to extract, scrape, or mass-download our content for republication
  • Misrepresent this website as an official government resource to others
  • Submit false or misleading information through our contact form
  • Engage in any activity that could harm this website, its readers, or third parties

We reserve the right to block access to this website for anyone we believe is misusing it, without prior notice.

11. Privacy

How we handle any information you share with us — such as through our contact form — is covered in our separate Privacy Policy, which you can read here. These Terms and Conditions should be read alongside that policy.

We do not sell personal data. We do not collect data beyond what is necessary for basic website operation and communication.

12. Advertisements

This website displays advertisements served by third-party ad networks. These ads help cover the cost of running and maintaining this website so we can keep providing free, useful content.

We do not personally select individual advertisements. Ad content is determined by the ad network based on factors like your browsing context and general interests. The appearance of an advertisement on this site does not mean we endorse that product, service, or company.

Our content decisions are made entirely independently of our advertising arrangements. We do not write articles to promote advertisers, and advertisers have no influence over our editorial content.

13. Changes to This Website

We reserve the right to change, update, remove, or add content on this website at any time and without prior notice. This includes articles, guides, tools, and pages — including this Terms and Conditions page itself.

We may also temporarily or permanently suspend parts of the website for maintenance, updates, or any other reason. We will try to minimise disruption, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted access to any part of this site.

14. Governing Context

This website is operated from India and is primarily intended for residents of Bihar and other Indian states seeking information about the E-Shikshakosh system. These terms are written in the context of Indian internet and content laws. Any disputes arising from use of this website will be considered within that context.

15. Contact Us

If you have a question about these Terms and Conditions — or if you believe something on this website violates them — please reach out through our Contact page.

We are reachable and we respond. If you spot something that needs correcting, changing, or clarifying, we want to know.
