raise TypeError("%s() got an unexpected keyword argument '%s'"

I am trying to override the save method of a Django model and send extra keyword arguments. Even though the code looks fine but i got this error

raise TypeError("%s() got an unexpected keyword argument '%s'" % (cls.name, kwarg)) TypeError: Student() got an unexpected keyword argument 'registration_no'

My models:

class StudentManager(models.Manager):
    #check the availability of student
    def CheckRegistration(self, name, registration_no):
        print('inside CHECK REGISTRATION')
        if Student.objects.filter(name=name).exists():
            students = Student.objects.filter(name=name)
            for student in students:

                student_id = student.id
                print(str(student_id))
                registrations = Registration.objects.filter(student=student_id)
                for registration in registrations:
                    print(str(registration))
                    if registration.registration_no==registration_no:
                        raise ValueError('student with same registration number already exist')
                    else:
                        print('registration possible')
                        return 1

class Student(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=300)
    sex  = models.CharField(choices=SEX_CHOICES,max_length=255, null=True)
    Category = models.CharField(max_length=100, null=True)
    objects = StudentManager()

    def __str__(self):
        return self.name

    def save(self, *args, **kwargs):
        if(kwargs):
            name = kwargs.get('name')
            registration_no = kwargs.get('registration_no')

            Student.objects.CheckRegistration(name, registration_no)
        super(Student, self).save(*args, **kwargs)

It seems like you have a typo in writing 'registrtion_no' instead of 'registration_no', so use this instead:

Student.objects.create(name='AA',registration_no='BB')

Hope this helps!

If it does not, please post your code for the 'create' function
