The world is under a financial burden. Every service and every product is in the money count. Being a student in today’s time period already has its fair share of struggles. From Byjus to Netflix, every subscription is costing you a hard penny. There is no income but definitely, there are expenses. But we are here to relieve students of this financial stress.

Down here are 5 apps that give free or almost like free subscriptions to students:

1. Autodesk: Where are our future software developers and engineers? Designing and developing software is not a task that a book can make you learn, rather it is the knowledge that is gained through experience and hit and trial in the real world. The same goes with animators, designers, artists, modeling and simulation, etc. Having access to software that provides you a platform for these amazing activities is definitely a shoot on the pocket, especially for students. Well, what if we say we have found a single solution to all your problems, Autodesk!

Autodesk gives a 1-year free subscription to students. Autodesk software has been used in many fields, and on projects from the One World Trade Center to Tesla electric cars. It is a one-man army software, that is, it works as a single platform and provides you access to its software for whichever field you like. It’s high time to sit just like that, gear up, and showcase your talent and creativity in the practical world.

Eligibility: Must meet the minimum age requirement; must be enrolled in an authorized educational institution whether it be college, school, home school, thesis, masterwork, or even apprenticeship

2. Spotify Premium: This one is a special one for all our music lovers out there. Don’t you love doing all your chores while binging your favorite playlist and riding in your dreams while listening to your favorite podcasts, but wait, those long ads are here to disturb your joy. To curb that Spotify has introduced the Spotify Premium, you don’t need to hear those ads anymore. Don’t worry we know it will hit your pocket hard, that is why Spotify has introduced a special Students Plan in which you can become a Premium member with a very minimal fee of Rs 66 for a whole year. That divides to be only Rs 5 for a full month. We know that’s banging on the deal, so what’s stopping you.

All the effort you have to do is signup and upload a Student verification document (college ID, mark sheet, enrollment application), pay the minute subscription fee, and get on the spree of music
