Frequently asked questions

Certificates are issued automatically once you complete a course, attend an event, or submit an entry to a competition that has ended (and meet any attendance or quiz requirements). Anyone can verify a certificate's authenticity publicly.

Open any course and hit the enroll button — it's instant for free courses, or after payment for paid ones.

Courses can have a quiz after each lecture and a final quiz — you need to pass them to unlock that course's certificate.

Downloadable resources (notes, slides, files) live on the course's own page, under each lecture that has them.

If an event is fully booked, you can join its waitlist and you'll be notified if a seat opens up.

Some competitions allow team entries — check the competition's page for its max team size.

You can cancel a free event registration from your dashboard, as long as the event hasn't started yet.

Internships have their own page. Filter by field of study, stipend, duration, start date, location or work from home, and create an alert to get new internships by email.

You can browse freelance services offered by other students and professionals, or post your own.

Request a refund from your dashboard: courses within 7 days of purchase, events at least 24 hours before they start (not after you've attended), competitions before you submit and before the deadline. If you've spent the cashback coins a purchase earned, their value comes off the refund.

You earn 5% of what you pay as ScholarAura Coins (100 coins = ₹10), and students also get bonuses for completing their profile and Journey. Tick "Use my ScholarAura Coins" at checkout to put them towards any purchase paid in INR. If a purchase is refunded, the cashback it earned is taken back.
