Questions we always get
Can I register as an individual?
PsiFi is entered in teams. If you are short of teammates, ask around your school first. Whether any category takes individual entries is in its rules, which go up with registration.
Is accommodation provided?
Yes, at Rs. 1,600 per person per night. If your school is travelling from outside Lahore, you can book accommodation throught the registration form.
What if registration has closed?
Then, sadly, it has closed. Follow us on Instagram to hear about the next edition first, and about any late places if they open up.
How do I become a school ambassador?
Ambassadors are our first contact at a school and bring its teams to PsiFi. This year's CA's have already been selected, stay updated on our Instagram to find out when next year's applications open.
