Google's Gemini AI now available for education in India
Google is rolling out its Gemini-powered AI for Education program across India, aiming to reach 75 million students and over 1.8 million educators.
With an ₹85 crore grant to Wadhwani AI, the initiative includes partnerships with the Ministry of Skill Development and Meerut's Chaudhary Charan Singh University, which Google says it will help build into what it calls India's first AI-enabled state university with collaboration focused on modernizing vocational education.
Gemini's tools for students
Gemini offers full-length JEE Main mock tests (featuring content from PhysicsWallah and Careers360), detailed performance feedback, and custom study plans.
Search's Canvas tool helps create study guides and quizzes from your notes, while NotebookLM lets you whip up quizzes, flashcards, or summaries in Indian languages and English—over three million outputs were made in January 2026 in India.
How teachers can benefit
Teachers get a boost too: Google Classroom now uses Gemini to help draft assignments, summarize student progress, give audio/video feedback, and track how AI tools are used.
Workspace Studio automates tasks without any coding needed.
There are also verification tools, such as SynthID for images and video created or edited by Google AI, with plans to expand detection to audio and non-Google models.
The focus? Helping students really understand topics—not just chase quick answers.
