    Hi ankita dubey

    Yes, as a student, you can access Azure for free through the Azure for Students program. This offer is designed specifically for students and includes several benefits:

    $100 Credit: You receive $100 in Azure credits to spend on any Azure services within the first 12 months.

    Free Services: Once your credits are used up, you can continue to use certain free services like Virtual Machines, Azure SQL Database, and Azure Functions, among others, within the provided limits.

    No Credit Card Required: Unlike other free trials, you don't need to provide credit card information to sign up.

    To sign up, simply verify your student status with a valid academic email address. You can visit the Azure for Students page on the Microsoft website for more details and to begin the sign-up process.
