Rethink on the Amount for Spot Registration, Doubling the early bird offer and spot registrations looks like a business tactic
Hmm. I didn't intend that. I just didn't want people to say "I'm not sure if I can attend so I'll keep it for the last minute since it's just 50 Rs. more".
I think 500 is fine. If it is mistaken as like a business tactic that's unfortunate, but the difference has to be substantial to encourage online registrations.
and i suggest to do some more classification, like Students ( Academic Institutions ) and Others ( classify further if needed)
This came up earlier. I was personally against it and if I remember, it wasn't very popular on the list. The idea is that we'll keep the rates low enough for students and make that the rate for everyone.
+1. Keep one rate. That /also/ takes away the hassle of screening IDs. I am sure there are those out there who carry their student IDs from the previous year to just try their luck at a discount -- not because they can't afford to pay the regular amount. Even if the people manning the registration desks are diligent and catch these, it still is wasted time and effort. cheers, - steve -- random spiel: http://lonetwin.net/ what i'm stumbling into: http://lonetwin.stumbleupon.com/
