Has anyone successfully availed this benefit? I tried multiple times but got rejected. I held up the ID card PDF on my phone to the laptop webcam. My RC is Pune so I first applied selecting IGNOU RC Pune. I got rejected with:
The image you selected does not appear to contain your school name. Your complete school name must appear in your document, not only the school logo. You may include multiple documents together. If your official document is not in English then you may photograph the original next to an English translation.
Then I selected IGNOU (no Pune RC), the rejection reason became:
You appear not to be near any campus location for the school you have selected. Your academic affiliation documentation must indicate virtual learning if you are remote. You must configure your browser and operating system to allow location access. You may not use a VPN. If you believe that our information about your school is incomplete or incorrect e.g. missing campus location(s), then please select ‘My selected school has incorrect or incomplete information e.g. domains or campus location’ option when submitting a GitHub Education support ticket.
Then I again retried with Pune and then rejected with no reason given.
While I'm an IGNOU MA student, my previous background has been Computer Engineering and I'd like to use student benefits.
