How Sachho Student Reports Work

Sachho exists to give Nepali students a place to check consultancy records and read real student experiences, without ratings, rankings, or endorsements. This article explains exactly how a student report gets from submission to publication, and what a published report does and doesn't mean. For the full detail behind every rule described here, see the Methodology page.

One report, one student's experience

Every report on Sachho represents a single student's own experience with a specific consultancy. Reports are not merged, averaged, or combined into a single narrative — each one stays attributed to one experience, so readers can judge it as one account among possibly several, not as an aggregated verdict.

A student submits a structured experience

Submission starts with a structured form rather than free-form marketing copy — asking what happened, which consultancy was involved, the destination and application context, costs and process, outcome, timing, and relevant experience details. Proof may be submitted or considered separately where applicable. Structure makes reports easier to read and compare fairly, and it nudges submissions toward specific details rather than vague impressions.

Sachho moderates every report before publication

No submission goes live automatically. Every report is reviewed before publication. Moderation checks whether the report is presented as the student's own experience, whether it is specific and understandable enough, whether it includes private information, threats or abusive language, whether serious claims may be unsafe to publish, and whether the consultancy match is clear enough.

Moderation is about the shape and safety of the content, not about whether the experience is positive or negative — a critical report is not rejected simply for being critical, and a positive report is not treated as more trustworthy than a critical one by default.

Publication is not guaranteed

Submitting a report does not guarantee it will be published. A report may not be published if it is not presented as the student's own experience, if it is too unclear to understand, if it contains private personal data, threats, abusive language, or serious claims that may be unsafe to publish, or if Sachho cannot confidently match it to the right consultancy record. This is a safeguard for accuracy and privacy, not a way to filter out any particular opinion.

Publication does not mean Sachho guarantees or independently verifies every claim in a student report. Verification status is separate from moderation and publication.

Private information is never published

Contact details, identity documents, and other private personal information submitted as part of a report are not included in the public report and are handled according to Sachho's privacy policy.

Official information stays visibly separate from student evidence

Any official or public-record information Sachho shows about a consultancy is kept visibly separate from student-submitted reports. The two are different kinds of information — one is a record, the other is a personal account — and Sachho does not blend them into a single combined statement about a consultancy.

No ratings, rankings, or endorsements — ever

Sachho does not show star ratings, rank consultancies against each other, or label any consultancy as "best" or "trusted." A consultancy's presence on Sachho is never an endorsement by Sachho. It means Sachho has a record for that consultancy; some records have published student experiences and some do not.

Percentage-style claims are hidden below five published reports

Sachho will not show a percentage or rate-based statistic — such as "X% of students reported a certain outcome" — for a consultancy until it has at least five published reports. Below that threshold, small numbers can look far more precise or dramatic than they actually are, so the individual reports are shown without a summary percentage attached.

Limitations of student-submitted evidence

Student reports are a genuinely useful source of evidence, but they have real limits: they reflect individual experiences, not a scientific sample; a consultancy with more students overall may naturally attract more reports of both kinds; and an absence of reports does not mean an absence of problems — it may simply mean fewer students have submitted anything yet.

Read reports as individual accounts, cross-check with your own direct questions to the consultancy (see 10 questions to ask before paying), and use Sachho's full methodology to understand exactly how evidence is collected, moderated, and shown.
