How StuCollab Works

Discover Events

Browse college fests, workshops, hackathons, cultural nights, and meetups. Filter by category, date, and location to find what interests you.

Register & Get Your Ticket

For free events, register instantly — your QR-code digital ticket is generated immediately. For paid events, pay securely via Razorpay and your QR ticket is generated after payment confirmation.

Check-in at the Venue

Show your QR ticket at the door. Organizers scan it for instant, contactless check-in. No paper tickets, no registration desk chaos.

Earn Your Certificate

After the event, checked-in attendees can receive a verifiable digital certificate from the organizer — great for your CV and LinkedIn.

Create Your Event

Choose a template (Workshop, Hackathon, Cultural, etc.), fill in details, and set your venue using the integrated Google Maps — search by name with Places Autocomplete or pin the exact location on the map. Add a banner, schedule, speakers, and sponsors.

Set Ticketing

Choose Free or Paid. For paid events, set your ticket price and provide your UPI ID — attendee payments go directly to your UPI. You can also set Early Bird pricing with a deadline.

Fest Mode (Multi-Event)

Organizing a fest? Turn on Fest Mode to add sub-events (Dance, Quiz, Hackathon, etc.) under one umbrella. Optionally set a Fest Pass price that covers all sub-events.

Manage & Check-in

Use built-in team chat, role assignments, and the QR scanner at the door. Track registrations, manage your crew, and issue certificates post-event.

Post Your Request

Describe exactly what you need (e.g., '2 Nescafe Cold Coffees from Krishna Canteen'). Set the approximate item cost and a Buddy's Effort Reward (min ₹40). Pin a safe, public meetup spot on the integrated Google Map — search by name or drag the marker to your exact location.

Buddy Spots You on the Earning Radar 🔭

Your request appears as a live pin on every nearby helper's Earning Radar — a real-time map with animated radar pulse that shows all active Quick Help requests. Helpers can filter by distance (up to 2.5 km), minimum reward, and category. They see your estimated walking ETA and distance, then hit 'Grab It' to send an instant proposal.

Pay the Shop Directly via UPI

Your buddy goes to the shop, sends you a photo of the items on the counter along with the shop's QR code. You scan the shop's Merchant QR and pay the shop directly via UPI. Always verify the shop name on your UPI app before paying!

Track & Navigate to Meetup

Both you and your buddy can see the meetup pin on the map with live distance tracking. Tap 'Get Directions' to open Google Maps for turn-by-turn navigation to the meetup spot.

PIN Handshake & Delivery

Buddy brings the items to your meetup spot. Check the items first, then give them the 4-digit Security PIN (auto-generated when you posted). This PIN confirms delivery and instantly releases the Buddy's Effort Reward.

Rate Your Buddy

Leave a review. Every delivery builds the buddy's Trusted Buddy reputation score.

Post a Physical Task

Describe the physical work — handwritten notes, spiral-bound records, project models, printed documents. Set budget (min ₹50), deadline, and pin a safe meetup location on the integrated Google Map. You can search for locations by name, use the 'Locate Me' button, or drag the marker to pin your exact spot. A privacy warning reminds you to always pin a public location, never your private home.

Helpers Message & You Hire

Helpers will reach out via the task's built-in chat. Discuss requirements, negotiate if needed, then hire your chosen helper and pay the agreed budget via Razorpay. Money goes into StuCollab escrow. A unique 4-digit Handover Code is auto-generated for you.

Helper Prepares & Uploads Proof Photos

The helper completes the physical work and uploads 3 proof photos — Start Page, Middle Page, and Last Page — so you can verify the work quality before the in-person meetup. Photos are intelligently compressed for fast upload.

Navigate & Meet at the Pinned Location

Both you and the helper see the meetup pin on an interactive map with live distance tracking. Tap 'Get Directions' to open Google Maps for turn-by-turn navigation. The distance dynamically updates as you move closer. Always meet at public spots — Canteen, Library, Gate, Lobby.

Share the Handover Code

Once you've inspected and verified the physical item in-person, share your 4-digit Handover Code with the helper. The helper enters this code on the app — this confirms delivery and releases escrow payment to the helper instantly.

Rate Your Buddy

Review the helper. Physical task ratings contribute to the same unified trust score across all StuCollab products.

Post Your Digital Task

Describe what you need — PPT design, data formatting, research compilation, bibliography, proofreading, or technical drafting. Set your budget (min ₹50) and deadline. Attach reference files if needed.

Helpers Message You

Interested student helpers will message you on the task page. Chat with them, discuss requirements, and negotiate the final budget if needed.

Hire & Pay via Razorpay (Escrow)

Choose a helper and click 'Hire'. You'll pay the agreed budget via Razorpay. This money is held securely in StuCollab escrow — the helper does NOT receive it yet.

Helper Delivers Files

The helper completes the work and uploads the deliverable files on the task page. You'll be notified when the submission is ready.

Review & Approve (24h Window)

Review the delivered work. Click 'Approve' to release escrow payment to the helper. Not satisfied? Raise a dispute for admin review. If you take no action, payment auto-releases after 24 hours.

Rate Your Buddy

Leave a review after approval. Every completed task builds the helper's unified trust score.
