Students get access to browse, save, and register for events. Organizers can also post and manage their own event listings after admin approval.

Click Log In, then look for the "Forgot password?" link below the password field. Enter your registered email address — we'll send you a reset link within a few minutes. Check your spam folder if you don't see it. The reset link expires after 30 minutes.

Yes — email us at support@festnest.in with your registered email and proof of your college/organization affiliation. Our team will upgrade your account within 2 business days. Role changes are reviewed manually to keep the platform safe.

Open any event and click the Register Now → button on the right panel. If the organizer has set up a registration link, you'll be redirected there. If there's no link yet, it means the organizer is still setting it up — check back soon or contact the organizer directly using the contact details on the event page.

You need to be logged in to register. Creating an account is free and takes 30 seconds.

On any event card, click the 🤍 bookmark icon in the top-right corner. On the event detail page, click the 🤍 Save Event button. Saved events appear in your Saved Events page accessible from the navigation bar.

You must be logged in to save events. If you're not logged in, the save will be stored temporarily in your browser session.

Open the event detail page and scroll to the 📞 Contact & POC section at the bottom. You'll find the point-of-contact name, phone number, and email address provided by the organizer.

If contact details are missing, the organizer may not have filled them in. In that case, use the college name to find their official social media or website.

Go to the Events page. On desktop, use the left sidebar to filter by Category (Hackathon, Cultural, Technical, etc.), Mode (Online / Offline / Hybrid), and Registration Fee (Free / Paid). You can also sort by newest, prize pool, or popularity.

On mobile, tap the ⚙️ Filter button inside the search bar to open the filter panel.

You need an Organizer account to post events. Once logged in:

1. Click Post Event in the navigation bar.
2. Fill in the event details — title, description, category, date, venue, prizes, fee, and contact info.
3. Upload your event poster (JPG/PNG, max 5MB) and optionally a brochure PDF.
4. Submit for review. Our admin team will approve it within 24–48 hours.

Once approved, your event goes live and becomes visible to 48,000+ students.

All events go through a manual review by our admin team to ensure quality and authenticity. This typically takes 24–48 hours on business days.

Your event may be delayed if:
• It's missing required details (venue, date, contact info).
• The poster image is too small or low quality.
• The event description is too short or generic.

You'll receive an email notification when your event is approved or if changes are needed. You can check status in your My Events dashboard.

Go to My Events (available in the navbar when logged in as an Organizer). Each event card shows an Edit and 🗑 Delete button. Deleting an event is permanent and removes all associated files from our servers.

If your event was already approved and is live, please update it rather than deleting it — students may have already saved it.

Try these steps in order:

1. Hard refresh your browser — press Ctrl+Shift+R (Windows) or Cmd+Shift+R (Mac).
2. Clear your cache — browser settings → clear browsing data → cached images and files.
3. Check your internet connection — try opening another site.
4. Try a different browser (Chrome, Firefox, Edge) or disable browser extensions.
5. Log out and log back in — your session token may have expired.

If none of these work, email us at support@festnest.in with a screenshot.

Double-check you're using the exact email and password you registered with. Passwords are case-sensitive.

If you're still stuck: use the Forgot Password flow to reset your password. If your account was created via Google Sign-In, use the "Continue with Google" button instead of the email/password form.

Event poster uploads must meet these requirements:

• Format: JPG, JPEG, or PNG only (no GIF, WEBP, HEIC).
• File size: Maximum 5MB.
• Recommended dimensions: 1200×630px (landscape) or 800×800px (square).

If your file meets all of the above and still fails, try a different browser or compress the image using a tool like Squoosh.app (free, no signup).
