Hello @LUB143660_Shakthi Vignesh J - Thank you for reaching out!

1. You will need a Microsoft Outlook or Hotmail email address and an academic email account to register with the program.
2. If you don’t have a Microsoft account, create one first at https://signup.live.com/
3. After you’ve created your email address, go to: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/free/students/ if you want to join the Azure for Students plan.
4. Click the Activate Now button.
5. You will then be required to sign in with your Microsoft Outlook or Hotmail email address.
6. Verify your identity by phone, and through your school/college/university email address.
7. If your academic institution is a part of the Microsoft database then you will be sent a verification link on your academic email id.
8. Check your school email inbox and click on the link to complete the verification process.
9. If your campus isn’t a part of the Microsoft database, you will be required to upload a picture of your student ID card as verification.
10. Once your verification status has been confirmed you will be redirected to the Microsoft Azure page to complete your registration.
11. Under the About You section, provide your details and your academic email id in the required email text box.
12. After accepting the subscription agreement and privacy statement your registration will be complete.
13. You will finally be directed to the Azure Welcome page, where you can choose your learning paths or start building projects.
14. It is also a good idea to visit the Education Hub where you can download free software and tools to help you with your projects.
15. Henceforth, you can log in directly to the Microsoft Azure portal at https://portal.azure.com/ using your Microsoft account.

If you're still facing issues with sign up to Azure for student, I suggest you contact Azure subscription management team by raising a support request using this link - https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/getsupport?wf=0&tenant=ClassicCommercial&oaspworkflow=start_1.0.0.0&locale=en-us&supportregion=en-us&pesid=15470&ccsid=636233463407635340
