    Hi shiva raj,

    If you are not able to create Azure OpenAI through Foundry and getting errors in all regions, this is usually related to some common setup or subscription limitations. Since you mentioned you are using a student subscription, that is most likely the reason.
    Key troubleshooting steps for Foundry OpenAI creation issue:

    Check subscription type Student or trial subscriptions may have restrictions and may not support Azure OpenAI fully

    Verify access to Azure OpenAI Make sure your account has access enabled for Azure OpenAI service before creating the resource

    Confirm permissions Ensure you have Contributor or Owner role on the subscription or resource group [oneuptime.com]

    Validate region Use supported regions like East US or West US since OpenAI is not available in all regions [github.com]

    Check quota availability Creation can fail if your subscription does not have enough quota assigned for Azure OpenAI [dev.to]

    Verify basic setup Check subscription is active. Check correct resource group. Try creating from Azure portal directly instead of Foundry UI

    In simple terms Most failures happen due to subscription limitations, missing access, unsupported region, or quota issues.
    I Hope this helps. Do let me know if you have any further queries.

    Go to your Subscription > Resource Providers and click Register for Microsoft.CognitiveServices and Microsoft.MachineLearningServices. you need to validate whether your admin enabled those services for you or not
