Hi @Pravin Sekar

Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A Platform! Thank you for asking your question here.

1. Account Information: Ensure that the information you provided during the sign-up process (including your email address, name, and other personal details) is accurate and matches your college records.
2. Existing Accounts: If you have previously created an Azure account using the same email or personal information, you may not be eligible for a new free account. The Azure Terms of Use limit free trial activation to users who are new to Azure.
3. Verification of Student Status: Make sure that your college email is verified and that you meet the eligibility criteria for the Azure for Students program, which requires you to be a full-time student at an accredited institution.
4. Browser Issues: Sometimes, signing up using a different browser or in InPrivate browsing mode can resolve issues related to cached data.
