Hello,
I am in process to design a website for an institute where I am registering students, teachers and staff. I have created these 3 roles and assigned to users accordingly. Now I want to create different fields when user is trying to register as student, different fields when user is trying to register as teacher and different when coming as staff. I also want to display profile in different layout depending on each role. Standard fields such as username, password, DOB, address are required in all three roles but 2-3 fields such as position is required for staff only, subjects is required for teacher only.

Is there any example on this that how to add fields and make them available based on roles and how to display profile based on role.

Thanks

See here http://drupal.org/project/profile_role but this module looks a bit dead...

It really should be easier to do this in Drupal, but unfortunately it's not.
All of the current solutions are not very intuitive or easy to implement site wide.
We used to use content profile, which works ok, but even that's a real hassle to set up properly.

Hoping for a simpler way to handle this often requires task in Drupal 8
