Verification Help & Guidance

Hi everyone,

Hi everyone,

I recently applied for the GitHub Student Developer Pack, and my application was not approved due to verification issues.

I believe this may be because my college is not correctly listed or has incomplete information in GitHub’s database.

I am currently studying at Unnamalai Institute of Technology, Kovilpatti, Tamil Nadu, India. It is a NAAC-accredited institution, approved by AICTE and affiliated with Anna University, Chennai.

I am an active student, and my academic status is valid.

I have ensured that I am not using a VPN and that my browser location access is enabled.

College Website: https://uitkovilpatti.ac.in/
Location: Kovilpatti, Thoothukudi District, Tamil Nadu, India

Could someone please guide me on how to resolve this issue or update my school information in GitHub’s system?

Thank you.
