Hello Cursor Team and Community,
I’m a university student in India, currently studying at Atmiya University. I was really excited to take advantage of the 1-year free student offer from Cursor, as I believe it would be incredibly helpful for my academic and coding work.
I have a valid university email address: [email protected], which is issued by my degree-granting institution. However, while trying to verify my student status, I encountered a blocker — when selecting “India” in the country dropdown, it shows “No options,” preventing me from completing the process.
This seems like an unintentional oversight, as many Indian universities use .edu.in or .ac.in domains instead of .edu. It would be great if Cursor could recognize these as legitimate for verification, or at least provide an alternative path for Indian students to apply for the discount.
I truly hope support for Indian institutions can be added soon — students here would really benefit from tools like Cursor.
Would love to hear from the team or anyone who has faced and solved this issue.
Thank you for your time and amazing work!
Best regards,
Kenil
