Hi Swathi C G,
Thank you for your follow-up. Unfortunately, access to Azure OpenAI Service often requires a corporate or educational email address, as applications submitted with personal email addresses like Gmail may be denied.
I recommend checking if your educational institution provides a student email address (e.g., .edu) and using that to submit your request. Educational emails are generally accepted for these kinds of applications.
Additionally, you might want to reach out to your institution's IT department or administration to see if they can assist you in obtaining access.
