Each person has to register individually - first on the Pragyan website (registration link) and then, after activation, for hospitality. Please note that you can only register once on either portal.

To be assured accommodation, you can register beforehand at the Hospitality portal and transfer funds online. After completion of payment, a confirmation mail regarding the same will be sent to your email ID. 

You can avail the Early Bird Registrations which require you to pay a subsidised amount of INR 249 per day during your stay at Pragyan. The Early Bird Registrations close two weeks prior to Pragyan ‘20. Thereon, the amount to be paid per day will be INR 299, leading up to a week until Pragyan, including on-spot registrations. 

However, please note that on-spot registrations for accommodation are done strictly on a first-come-first-serve basis, and so you are not guaranteed accommodation.
