    Hello Abhishek,

    There could be several reasons why you may not be eligible for an Azure free account.

    One of the possible reasons is your academic institution might not be eligible for the Azure for Students offer. Some universities or schools might not be part of this program.

    To check if your institute is eligible for the Azure for Students offer, you can follow these steps:

    -Go to the Azure for Students webpage (https://azure.microsoft.com/free/students/).

    -Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on the "See if you're eligible" button.

    -You will be prompted to sign in with your Microsoft account. If you don't have one, you can create one for free.

    -Once you have signed in, you will be asked to provide some information about your academic status, such as your school name and your expected graduation date.

    -After you have provided the required information, click on the "Verify academic status" button.

    -Microsoft will then verify your eligibility and let you know if your institute is eligible for the Azure for Students offer.

    If your institute is eligible, you can follow the instructions on the Azure for Students webpage to sign up for a free Azure account. If your institute is not eligible, you may want to check with your school or university to see if they have any other offers or programs for accessing cloud services.

    Regards

    Divya.
