Use case
As of now, there's no way to verify users from NITK are actually from NITK. Manual verification is the only way to go about it. Additionally, user email verification ensures that the email address is accurate and that any further email will be sent to the right user.
Proposal
Add a new field for users called is_verified. Once users create their account, this value will be false. For NITK students, they have to input their NITK EDU email for verification. An email with a unique URL will be sent to their email address. Upon accessing this URL, their account will be verified.
