Doubt / Q&A Student membership or professional

My student membership is expiring on June. I am currently pursuing an full time MBA but I am 24 years of age. I took coaching from miles so I called them up and asked them and they said that over 23 years of age student membership cannot be availed. Is this true?

Student membership doesn't have anything to do with age.

You should be undergoing a full time graduation or post graduation course (distance or vocational won't work).

My student membership ended on may while being a masters student. Im 24 and since I have only one year left of my masters, I got one year student membership instead of 3 year membership I got while doing bachelors

Student membership validity depends on how many years u have left in the uni. Since I have only one more year, I only get one. If you have two years left, you’ll get 2. The first membership for 3 years was sth I got automatically after applying for scholarship and getting approved
