Question

Hey there, I'm a student at Measi Institute Of Information Technology which is in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India. Me and my classmate(around 45 student) are trying to create a free Azure account so that we can access it for free, but when trying to complete the Academic Verification Issue with our student email it say "Your email domain is not currently registered with us". We would really like to get a solution regarding this issue as soon as possible. Thank you

Hello Vignesh M, here are some possible steps that you can take for this.

1. Check with your school administration - Ensure that your school has registered its domain with Microsoft for academic purposes. Sometimes, the domain needs to be verified by the institution’s IT department.
2. Alternative verification methods - If the email domain is not registered, you can try using another verification method. For example, you might be able to verify your academic status through a GitHub Student Developer Pack
3. Use a different browser or InCognito mode - Sometimes, browser settings or cached data can cause issues. Try using a different browser or an InCognito/Private browsing mode to see if that resolces the problem
4. Contact Microsoft support - If the above steps don’t work, you can contact Microsoft support for assistance. They can help verify your academic status manually
