College esports in India

College esports has become one of the most accessible ways to compete in India. Publishers, brands and independent organizers all run campus events.

Competitions to know

• KRAFTON India College Campus Tour: 256 institutions for 2026-27, with BGMI and Real Cricket.
• VALORANT Campus Cup: run by Riot Games and JioBLAST, with campus, café and online stages.
• Skoar! College Cup: a Delhi-NCR competition with BGMI and VALORANT.
• NoScope National College Cup: a MOBA Legends 5v5 competition with LAN and online qualifiers.

How to get involved

1. Ask your college's cultural or sports committee whether an esports club exists.
2. Follow your college festival's announcements, because some tour stages run through festivals.
3. Build a team from your own institution, since some events require it.
4. Keep your college ID ready, and check the event's age rules.
5. If there is no club, start with a small internal event and build from there.
