Good questions

Frequently asked

Do I need a separate account for each event?+
No. One ARKFEST account works for every event. Sign in once, add events to your cart, and pay once for all of them.
How do I check in on event day?+
Each confirmed registration mints a unique QR ticket in your dashboard. Show it at the entry scanner — the screen flashes green (welcome in) or red (already scanned). Tickets can't be reused.
Can I register a team for the hackathon or esports?+
Yes. Team events let you enter a team name and member details during checkout. The team leader pays once for the whole team.
What's the refund policy?+
All registrations are non-refundable once the QR ticket is issued. Exceptions apply only for event cancellation or duplicate charges. See our full refund policy at /legal/no-refunds.
Is there a walk-in option for cultural events?+
Yes — daytime music, open mic and outdoor games on the open ground are free and walk-in. The evening Cosmic Cultural Night & DJ requires an entry pass (₹199, regular ₹299), and is completely free for all 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners across all fest competitions.
