Things to note

Remuneration will be per article basis, for each published article.
There is no need of email follow-ups regarding the status of your articles. If your article is worth publishing in clearias.com, we would do that. It’s almost impractical to reply to thousands of email we get.
Articles from those who are already in service or those who have reached Civil Service Interview stage will be given higher weightage.
The fewer corrections/editing needed in the articles, the faster the article will be published.
At clearias.com, quality and simplicity are the priority items. Thank you for being part of the community.
