It's not possible to merge two GitHub accounts into one, but you can transfer your repositories and settings from one account to another. Here's how you can transfer your repositories from your personal account to your college account without losing your GitHub PRO subscription:

1. Log in to your personal GitHub account and navigate to the repository you want to transfer.

2. Click on the "Settings" tab and scroll down to the "Danger Zone" section.

3. Click on "Transfer ownership" and select your college account as the new owner.

4. Confirm the transfer by entering your college account's password.

5. Repeat steps 1-4 for all the repositories you want to transfer.

6. Once you've transferred all your repositories, you can cancel your GitHub PRO subscription on your personal account.

By transferring your repositories to your college account, you'll be able to keep your GitHub PRO subscription since it's tied to your college account. However, keep in mind that any settings or personal information on your personal account won't be transferred, so you may need to set those up again on your college account.

I have PRO in my college account and I want to merge it into my personal account which does not have PRO subscription so that I can have access to PRO on my personal account. I think you provided the other way solution.
