    Hi Rayon,

    From the Cognos Analytics page, there is a button called "Start your free trial". This is only usable for 30 days.

    Best regards,

    IBM Cognos is a business intelligence and analytics platform that is commonly used by businesses and organizations for data analysis, reporting, and dashboard creation. While it's not typically associated with student use, some educational institutions may provide access to Cognos for students as part of their coursework or research projects. Here's how Cognos can be relevant for students:

    1. Educational Institutions: Some universities and colleges with business or data analytics programs may incorporate Cognos into their curriculum. Students studying business intelligence, data analysis, or related fields might use Cognos to learn about data visualization, reporting, and analytics.

    2. Research Projects: Students working on research projects, theses, or dissertations may use Cognos to analyze data and present findings. Cognos can help students create professional reports and visualizations to communicate their research effectively.

    3. Data Analysis Skills: Learning to use Cognos can be valuable for students interested in a career in data analytics or business intelligence. It provides hands-on experience with a widely used analytics tool in the business world.

    4. Access via Educational Licenses: Some educational institutions have agreements with IBM that allow students to access Cognos software through educational licenses. These licenses are often provided by the institution's IT department or academic programs.

    If you're a student looking to use Cognos, here's what you can do:

    1. Check with Your Institution: Contact your university or college's IT department or academic advisors to inquire about access to Cognos. They can provide information on whether Cognos is available for student use and how to access it.

    2. Explore Training Resources: If Cognos is available, you can explore training resources and tutorials to learn how to use the software effectively. IBM often provides online training materials for Cognos.

    3. Utilize It for Projects: If Cognos is available to you, consider incorporating it into your coursework or research projects where it's relevant. This practical experience can be valuable for your future career.

    4. Join Student Organizations: Some universities have student organizations or clubs focused on data analysis and business intelligence. Joining such a group can provide opportunities to learn and network with peers who share similar interests.

    Keep in mind that the availability and extent of Cognos usage for students can vary by institution and program. If your institution provides access, take advantage of the opportunity to gain valuable data analysis skills using this powerful tool.
