Training: Instruction to develop new skills.
Hi Abhilipsa Patra,
Welcome to Microsoft Q&A,
When Azure can't verify your university domain directly, the most reliable fallback is verifying through the GitHub Student Developer Pack instead. Many students whose universities aren't on Azure's direct verification list get through this way, since GitHub and Azure share the same academic verification backend.
Here's the path:
- Go to GitHub Education and apply for the GitHub Student Developer Pack using your university email and student ID photo.
- Once approved, go to your GitHub Education benefits page and find Microsoft Azure under your benefits.
- From there, go to the Azure for Students activation page and choose Sign in with GitHub instead of your Microsoft/university account.
- Make sure the email on your GitHub account matches or is verified against the one you're using on Azure, mismatches are the most common reason this fails even after GitHub approves you.
