Hello saad_4026a,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&Al

When the Azure for Students activation page asks you to verify your institution and your university does not appear, look for an option that says "My school is not listed" or "Use a different verification method." Clicking this lets you upload supporting documents manually. You can complete a manual SheerID verification by uploading proof such as your student ID or an enrollment certificate showing your name, university, and current term. Accepted documents typically include a current student ID card, an official enrollment letter, or an official university transcript showing the current academic year.

Or you can verify your student status via the GitHub Student Developer Pack at education.github.com. Once approved, you can claim Azure benefits linked to your GitHub Education account.

GitHub's verification process accepts a wider range of proof documents including university ID cards and enrollment letters and is often more flexible for institutions not yet in Microsoft's database. Once GitHub approves your student status, the Azure for Students credit becomes available to claim directly from the GitHub Education pack dashboard.
