    Hi Gunjan Seth

    Thanks for posting your Question to Microsoft QnA portal.

    Could you please share the exact error snapshot or logs of the error which you are facing? Currently, I am assuming that you are using student quota if not then please share the details.

    Also, try using a smaller VM size such as Standard_DS2_v2, Standard_D2_v2, or Standard_B2ms for your Databricks cluster. These are more likely to be available under student quotas.

    Use the following command to list VM sizes available in your region:

    az vm list-skus --location centralindia --output table

    If Databricks doesn't allow smaller nodes for your workload, consider using Azure ML, Notebooks, or upgrading to a Pay-As-You-Go subscription for full quota control.

    You can refer to the following similar issue.

    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/818143/unable-to-launch-single-node-databricks-cluster-in

    Before you create any clusters in your subscription, you need to check the usage of the cores available in the region.

    To find total cores available for a region:

    Azure Portal: All services => Subscriptions => Select your subscription => Usage + Quotas

    Also refer this similar QnA for your reference:
