Azure for Students Academic Verification Failure

Hello Microsoft Support Team,

I am an MCA student at Sardar Patel Institute of Technology (SPIT), Mumbai, and I am trying to register for Azure for Students for my college practicals and academic projects.

I received the Microsoft academic verification link on my college email address and clicked it. However, it redirected me to the Microsoft homepage and says verified successfully , and Azure still displays the error: “You're not eligible or unable to verify student status.”

I would appreciate your help in resolving this issue. Could you please confirm whether SPIT's college email domain is recognized for Azure for Students verification and advise me on the next steps?

I do not have a credit card and would like to access Azure for Students without providing card details. I also want to continue using my existing personal Microsoft account.

Thank you for your assistance.
