Is it possible to create alerts whenever the new VM was created.

I need to know, is there any method to get alert whenever the VM has been created by one of the users with contributor permissions in particular resource group?

You can use the Azure Activity Log data source as the starting point for this requirement. It logs when things change on the Azure Control Plane.

I'd start by enabling it to log to a Log Analytics workspace then you can start crafting a query that represents your specific requirement. (VM deployment)

Once you've created the query, then create a Log Alert Rule.

@Thangamani R , specifically you are looking for Create or Update Virtual Machine when creating an alert rule. If you want to refine this further by user, you'd want to create a log query alert. Azure Monitor would be a good place to get additional clarification.
