Unable to use Microsoft Azure credits for students

How do I sign up for Azure for students for free credits? I have my official school email ID but my GitHub Student Developer pack is registered with my personal email ID.

When I use my college email to sign in, it says my institution is not registered.

When I use GitHub verification, it says they aren't able to verify if I am a student (Even thought I've already authorized the Student Developer pack access to the website).

I do not have any Verification code either. How do I use this? ;

    Hello @SargunSingh Welcome to Microsoft Q&A community forum. Happy to assist you!

    Based on the information you shared, I see that you are trying to activate Azure for Student subscription using your GitHub account and being greeted with message "Institution not registered".

    You need to provide a phone number and your academic organization’s email address (for example, your_name@your_school.edu) to sign up for an Azure for Students subscription.

    Please refer to Azure for Students FAQ doc here: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/free/free-account-students-faq/ that covers common questions to understand more about the eligibility and the process to be followed.
