YouTube is the world’s most popular video streaming platform, giving access to hundreds of thousands of short-form and long-form videos across categories and languages. Nearly all videos on YouTube are free to watch, however, advertisements spoil the experience and break the flow when you are watching an interesting video. YouTube Premium is a great way to keep advertisements at bay. For a monthly or yearly fee, YouTube removes all the advertisements, alongside offering a bunch of features including background playback. Normally, YouTube Premium costs Rs 129 per month, but if you are a student in India, you have to pay a lot less.

How to get the membership
Open YouTube on your phone, tablet, or PC browser and head to the Student Plan landing page. Since you are a new user of the Premium membership, you will be eligible for a trial. Now select “Try it free.” Here you will be required to enter your school, college, or university’s name after which SheerID will verify the name. If your institution is on the SheerID list, you can subscribe to the YouTube Premium plan. SheerID will ask you for your enrolment number and the email address assigned to you by your university. This data is again verified, after which YouTube will allow you to start the trial.
