How an entry gets written
A watcher polls NTA’s notice pages and the participating-university portals, and drafts an entry when a document changes. Nothing publishes automatically — a person reads the PDF, writes the plain-words version and records the page it came from.
What an entry never does
- Predict a date NTA has not published.
- Paraphrase a rule without linking the document it came from.
- Stay up after it is superseded — corrections are dated and kept.
