[Answer]-Django multiple Forms in a single Form instance,validation error

Every individual form needs its own form.is_valid() to be called to get its error fields in the template. In your post method there is only one form.is_valid() called, which is for RegistrationForm only.Better send/receive three form independently. In the template, use them under one form.
Things could’ve been done this way:

views.py

if request.method == 'POST':
    reg_form  = RegistrationForm(request.POST)
    contact_form  = ContactForm(request.POST)
    free_form = FeeForm(request.POST)

    reg_valid = reg_form.is_valid()
    contact_valid = contact_form.is_valid()
    free_valid = free_form .is_valid()

    if reg_valid and contact_valid and free_valid:
         #Everything is fine, do the registration and go to success page
    else:
         #error happened, so go to form page with error fields
         return render(request, 'registration/register.html', {'student' : student, 'reg_form' : reg_form,'contact_form' : contact_form, 'free_form' : free_form,'registration_status' : registration_status,'registration':registration }) 

else:
    reg_form  = RegistrationForm(initials=...)
    contact_form  = ContactForm(initials=...)
    free_form = FeeForm(initials=...) 

    return render(request, 'registration/register.html', {'student' : student, 'reg_form' : reg_form,'contact_form' : contact_form, 'free_form' : free_form,'registration_status' : registration_status,'registration':registration })
