Your account
Does it cost anything to make an account?
No. Accounts are free for every student.
Why do you need my photo?
Your photo goes on your pass for in-person events. Our team matches it to your face at the door, so passes can't be shared.
Can I use my Gmail to sign up?
Yes. You can sign up with Google in one click, or with any email and a password.
Applying for events
How do I apply?
Open an event and click Apply. For free events that is all you do. Seats go first come, first served.
How do I pay for a paid event?
When you apply, we show our JazzCash and bank details. Pay the fee, then upload a screenshot of the receipt and its transaction ID. Our team checks it and confirms your seat.
What if the event is full?
You can join the waiting list. If someone cancels, the next person on the list gets the seat and an email.
Can I get a refund?
Our refund rule is being finalised. It will be written here before the first paid event.
On the day
Where do I find my Google Meet link?
On your dashboard and in the email we send when you are approved.
What is the pass for?
For workshops and seminars, show the pass on your phone at the door. We scan its QR code to mark you present.
What happens if I don't show up?
If you can't come, please cancel from your dashboard so someone else gets the seat. Missing a free event without cancelling gives you a warning. Repeated warnings pause your applications for a while.
Certificates
When do I get my certificate?
After the event, once you are marked present. It appears in your account and we email it to you.
How can someone check my certificate is real?
They scan its QR code or type its serial on our verify page. It shows the original certificate from our records.
Can I add it to LinkedIn?
Soon. A one-click LinkedIn button is planned after launch.
