Question 1

What is Uni-Verse?

Accepted Answer

Uni-Verse is India's first student-powered college accountability platform. Students post verified, anonymous grievances about their colleges. Colleges must respond publicly within a fixed response window or their Verity Score drops. The community audits whether resolutions are genuine.

Question 2

What is the Verity Score?

Accepted Answer

The Verity Score is a 0–1000 public trust score for every Indian college, calculated algorithmically from student grievance response rates, resolution quality, issue severity, and repeat patterns. It cannot be bought or gamed.

Question 3

Is Uni-Verse anonymous?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Uni-Verse verifies student identity by college email but holds it in a separate encrypted vault, never linked to the public post. Even Uni-Verse cannot see who posted without a court order.

Question 4

How is Uni-Verse different from Shiksha or CollegeDunia?

Accepted Answer

Shiksha earns ₹3,920 Cr/year from college commissions — colleges pay to look good. Uni-Verse charges colleges for an accountability dashboard, not for visibility. Colleges cannot buy a better Verity Score.

Question 5

Is Uni-Verse free for students?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Uni-Verse is free for students permanently — no paywalls, no data selling, no ads targeting students.

Question 6

What are the 4 pillars of the Verity Score?

Accepted Answer

The Verity Score is built on 4 pillars: (1) Resolution Velocity — how fast the college responds within the public response window; (2) Community Audit — verified same-college students vote whether the fix is genuine within 72 hours; (3) Severity Weighting — Tier S issues like ragging or food poisoning weigh more than Tier C issues like Wi-Fi complaints; (4) Consistency Streak — sustained good behavior improves the score, while repeat unresolved issues compound negatively.

Question 7

What is a Changemaker on Uni-Verse?

Accepted Answer

A Changemaker is a student who earns XP on Uni-Verse by posting verified issues, corroborating classmates' issues, and auditing college resolutions. XP tiers progress from Spark → Catalyst → Disruptor → Legend → Founding Voice. Founding Voice is a permanent designation reserved for the first 1,000 students on the platform.

Question 8

How does the community audit work on Uni-Verse?

Accepted Answer

After a college responds to a verified grievance on Uni-Verse, a 72-hour community audit window opens. Any verified student from that college can vote 'Legit Fix' or 'Fake Fix.' If more than 60% vote Fake Fix, the resolution is marked invalid and the college's Verity Score drops. This prevents colleges from posting hollow responses to game the system.
