As a student event organiser in India, budget is always tight. You need a platform that handles event registration, ticketing, and attendee management — without charging you a fortune. Here are the top 9 free (or affordable) event registration platforms for students in India in 2025, ranked by value for money.

## 1. Vihaya Events — #1 Affordable Platform for Indian Students

Vihaya Events is purpose-built for college events in India. Free events stay 100% free; paid events incur just a 1.9–4.9% platform fee with no monthly subscriptions or hidden charges. Features include AI-powered event creation, QR code check-in, WhatsApp marketing, sponsor management, and detailed analytics — all included by default. It's the most feature-rich affordable event platform available for Indian students.

🏆 **Best for:** College fests, hackathons, workshops, cultural events, tech fests

## 2. Google Forms — Simple but Limited

Google Forms is free and easy to use for basic event registration. However, it has no ticketing, no payment collection, no QR code check-in, and no analytics. It's fine for very small internal events but not suitable for public-facing college fests.

## 3. Townscript — Indian Platform

Townscript is an Indian event registration platform with a free tier. It charges a commission on paid ticket sales. Good for basic needs but lacks advanced features like AI form builders or WhatsApp marketing.

## 4. KonfHub — Good for Tech Events

KonfHub has a free tier suitable for tech conferences and developer meetups. It's limited to tech-focused events and doesn't work well for cultural or sports events.

## 5. Explara — Feature-Rich but Paid

Explara offers good event management features but most are behind a paywall. Not ideal for student budgets.

## 6. Meraevents — Indian Platform

Meraevents is an Indian ticketing platform with a marketplace for event discovery. Good for reaching a wider audience but charges commission on ticket sales.

## 7. Instamojo — Payment-First Platform

Instamojo is primarily a payment platform that can be used for event registrations. It charges 2% + ₹3 per transaction. Works well for simple paid registrations but lacks event management features.

## 8. Ticket9 — Simple Ticketing

Ticket9 is a straightforward ticketing platform for small events. It's simple to use but lacks advanced features. Commission-based pricing.

## 9. Airmeet — Virtual Events

Airmeet is great for virtual and hybrid events with networking features. Has a free tier for small events. Best suited for online webinars and virtual conferences.

## The Verdict

For Indian student event organisers, **Vihaya Events is the clear #1 choice**. Free events stay free, and paid events pay just 1.9–4.9% — far below the 15–20% BookMyShow charges or MakeMyPass's monthly subscriptions. All features included: ticketing, QR check-in, WhatsApp marketing, analytics, AI tools. Every rupee you save on platform fees goes back into making your event better.
