I am a verified GitHub Student Developer Pack student. My GitHub Student Developer Pack is active until April 1, 2028. However, when I redeem the Microsoft Azure offer, Azure redirects me to Academic Verification and says that my institutional domain iiitl.ac.in is not registered. Please help me activate the Azure for Students benefit through my verified GitHub Student Developer Pack.

    Azure for Students eligibility is verified separately on the Microsoft side. A verified GitHub Student Developer Pack does not guarantee that the institutional domain will be recognized for Azure for Students.

    For this case, the supported path is to contact Microsoft Support and create a support request for subscription management:

    1. Open the Azure portal.
    2. Go to Help + Support.
    3. Select Create a support request.
    4. In Support + Troubleshooting, search for subscription management.
    5. Select subscription management, then select Next.
    6. Select the subscription, then continue.
    7. If the suggested solutions do not resolve the issue, scroll down and select Contact Support.
    8. Select Create a support request.
    9. If the solutions page appears again, select Return to support request.
    10. Select Next and submit the ticket.

    Relevant facts for this scenario:

    • Azure for Students requires academic status verification through an institution email address.
    • The offer is limited to one Azure for Students subscription per eligible customer.
    • If students have trouble accessing the Azure Education Hub, Microsoft directs them to the student support page.
