First, go to http://dreamspark.com and click on “Learn more” under “DreamSpark for Students.”
Click on “Create Account” to set up your DreamSpark account. This is
your student account that provides you with free helpful resources from
Microsoft.
Fill out your information and “continue to verify.”
You can get your account verified in one of three ways: (1) using your
school .EDU email address (2) using your ISIC card number or (3) using a
verification code that you may have received from a Microsoft
representative.
Indian
students, please try uploading scanned or photos of your college ID's
or marklists of University exams as the verification method in the 4th
Option
1)Get verified through my school.
2) I have an ISC card.
3)I have a verification code.
4) Other options. 
You have succesfully registered.
It'll take max 2-3 days for verification. Keep on checking for your email.
Check your inbox the day after tomorrow to find this email.Click on the link in the email.
And your dreamspark account is verified.
Map your Microsoft account and Dreamspark account.
Once your account is verified you can sign into DreamSpark at http://www.dreamspark.com

Login with your username and password.
You can confirm that you’re verified once you sign in under “Create Account.” Now click on “app development” at the top.
Click on “Learn more” under the Windows 8 section.

Click on “Get code Now.” Keep this tab open, so you can use this code
later when you’re asked for $49 to set up a Windows Store account.
Open a new tab and go to http://dev.windows.com.
Sign in at the top right. You may need to set up a Microsoft account.
You can either use an existing email address or create a new one to set
up your Microsoft account. This is different from your DreamSpark
account, as you can use your Microsoft account to download or publish
Windows Store apps, store and share files on SkyDrive, etc. After
you’ve signed in, go to Dashboard.
Accept the Terms and Conditions.
The first time you sign in on a new device with an account, Microsoft
will ask you to verify this account by sending you an access code either
via SMS, phone call, or email.
Once you receive the email, text, or phone call with the code, enter and
submit the code you just received. This may take a few minutes to
receive, so please be patient. If you don’t want to do this again on
your current device, be sure to check the box.
Now you can start filling out information to set up your account.
Your DreamSpark account comes with a free Individual account. Click on “Enroll now.”
Accept the terms and conditions of the App Developer Agreement.
Then enter your details like address, preferred publisher name, emailid etc.. here..
Remember that registration code you got earlier from the DreamSpark account? It should be open in the other tab. Enter that and click on “Update total.” Your total should become 0.00
When you update with the Dreamspark code you obtained earlier, your TOTAL = 00.00 USD.
If you dont have a CREDIT CARD, you can use MASTER/VISA DEBIT CARD and enter the details and procceed.
If you use DEBIT CARD for the 1st time, you will need to enter your Bank Account Number, ATM PIN, DEBIT CARD No. Then, you will have to fill the deatils regarding the information stored in your Bank account, and a one time password will be sent to your "Registered Mobile Number".
