Why is India Missing from the Country Dropdown for Student Offers on Cursor Ai?

Many Indian students attempting to access student offers on the Cursor platform have reported that India is not listed in the country selection dropdown. This raises questions about Cursor’s regional support and eligibility criteria. This topic aims to investigate:

  • Whether this is an oversight or an intentional limitation.
  • If Cursor currently supports student verification for Indian institutions.
  • Possible workarounds or timelines for when India might be added.
  • How users can contact support or request inclusion.

Have you guys get the access now ? I am using an email suffixed .ac.in but it says that email ending with .edu are only eligible.

So-called “Student Helpers” - I don’t understand why they’re not offering the Student Free Plan to Indian students. It’s unfair. India is a well-respected country with the largest youth population in the world. Perhaps Cursor is worried their servers can’t handle that many free accounts.

Just remember one thing: as a public figure and a well-qualified student, I strongly recommend Indian students explore alternatives or competitors to Cursor - ones that don’t introduce such unfair policies or disappoint their users.
