Google is significantly expanding its AI-powered educational offerings by introducing full-length practice tests for India's Joint Entrance Exam (JEE) directly within its Gemini chatbot. This move aims to support the millions of students who annually seek admission to top engineering institutes.
Students utilizing Gemini for JEE preparation will benefit from immediate feedback after completing mock exams. The AI will highlight areas requiring further study and can explain correct answers, facilitating a more personalized learning experience. Furthermore, Gemini can generate customized study plans based on individual student performance.
Beyond Gemini, Google is extending these JEE Main preparation tools to its AI Mode in Search, including the Canvas tool for creating study guides and quizzes from class notes. The company also reported that Indian students are actively using its AI tools, such as Gemini and NotebookLM, for various subjects and study material transformation.
Google is also intensifying its focus on Indian educators and government collaborations. Plans include a nationwide program to help teachers leverage AI for administrative tasks and lesson design. A pilot project with the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship and Chaudhary Charan Singh University is underway to build an 'AI-enabled state university,' establishing a national framework for AI integration in vocational and higher education.
In a significant philanthropic effort, Google.org has granted ₹850 million (approximately $10 million) to Wadhwani AI to integrate AI into government education platforms. This initiative targets national and state online learning portals, aiming to enhance adaptability and reduce administrative burdens for educators. The program encompasses pre-school through higher education and includes features like voice-based reading support and AI-powered English learning coaches, with a goal to reach 75 million students and 1.8 million educators by the end of 2027.
