NITC Guest House Booking

The application categorises users into 5 categories - Student, SAC member, Staff, Registrar and Director of NITC. The priority of their booking requests will be respectively where a student will have the lowest priority and the director and registrar will have the highest priority.
Other than students, all the other types of users need to be verified by admin manually to prevent any kind of fraud. Only after verification, the accounts will be activated for using further services of the application.
The bookings made by the director and registrar will be confirmed immediately, because of the highest priority. Other users might have to wait for a booking confirmation which will be received by the user through his/her registered email.
Usually, the confirmation mails will be sent to the user one day before the booking date. In case of the same booking date and same priority, the earliest booking time will be considered as the tiebreaker.
