Question 1

What is Uni-Verse?

Accepted Answer

Uni-Verse is the honest, verified-student picture of what India's colleges are really like, anonymous but verified. Students put what's actually happening on the public record, classmates confirm it, colleges respond in the open, and when something gets fixed the college gets credit on the record. Every campus earns a Verity Score that can't be bought.

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 how colleges respond to verified student reports, 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 and CollegeDunia earn from college commissions, so colleges pay to look good. Uni-Verse is the opposite: the picture comes from verified students, on the record, and colleges cannot pay for a better Verity Score. It is closer to Glassdoor for Indian colleges than to a paid listing or a vanity ranking.

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 outages; (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 student report 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.
