I am unable to complete my student verification facing trouble in completing it

Hello 108_Deven_Patil It seems like you're running into some issues with student verification for your college account. This can definitely be frustrating! Here's a checklist of things to try that might help you get through the verification process.

Steps to Troubleshoot Student Verification Issues:

1. Check Email & Academic Status:
   • Make sure that you are using your official college email address (like <Mod remove PII> @somaiya.edu) when trying to verify your status. Sometimes errors occur if the email isn't recognized.
2. Using the Right Verification Method:
   • If you’re prompted to choose a verification method, ensure you're selecting the option to verify using your school email address. If that’s an issue, you might want to consider using GitHub if your school does not have a contract with Microsoft.
3. Identity Verification by Phone:
   • Ensure your phone number is correctly entered including the country code. Also, be aware that Voice-over-IP (VoIP) numbers might not work. If you don’t receive a verification call or text, double-check the number you provided and try again.
4. Browser Compatibility:
   • Clear your browser's cache or try using a different browser, or even Incognito/InPrivate mode, to bypass any potential issues with cookies or saved data.
5. Error Messages:
   • If there's a specific error message, that can be very helpful. Note down what it says (for example, "cannot verify your student status") and see if it matches any documented troubleshooting steps on the Azure Education Hub or the common issues outlined in the Azure account sign-up troubleshooter.
