@brownagustinMay 29.2012 — #At first you have to check whether your institute falls in .edu eligibility criteria, the location of your educational initiative then only one can give you concrete idea. However http://net.educause.edu/edudomain/request.asp can help you a bit.
@dmaarc123May 29.2012 — #this is not big issue, there are so many domain provider who can provide you.
If your institution is eligible, you will need to provide some important information. You will not be able to request a domain name unless you provide the following information.
Domain Name - The name that you request must reasonably represent the Registrant and not be generic. Review .edu domain name policies.
Institution Name – This is the legal name and address of the eligible institution requesting the domain name. Review .edu eligibility requirements.
Password – You will need to set an initial password that you will use to manage your domain.
Administrative Contact – This is the name of a person or group who is responsible for the administrative details of the domain name.
Technical Contact – This is the name of a person or group who is responsible for the technical details of the domain name.
Billing Contact – This is the name of a person or group who is responsible for billing on the domain name.
Primary and Secondary Domain Name Servers – These name servers should be set up to properly respond to queries for the domain. The name servers must be publicly accessible (have public IP addresses). Some institutions house their own domain name servers while others use an Internet service provider for this function. Check with your ISP before you start if you are unsure.
PLEASE NOTE: Registrants of names in the .edu domain are required to provide accurate contact information and to update this information as it changes. Contact information for .edu domain names is public and available from the EDUCAUSE Whois server.
When you are ready to request a .edu domain name, start by checking the availability of your desired .edu domain name with the .edu Availability Lookup below. NOTE: For those institutions outside the United States please see the section below.

@perfectionsiMay 29.2012 — #“edu” is top-level domain names, it generally describes the entity owning the domain name as a college or similar education institution.
