Google is sharpening its focus on education in India, unveiling a sweeping set of AI-powered initiatives designed to transform how students learn, prepare for exams, and build skills for the future. At the center of this push is Gemini, Google’s flagship AI model, now being deployed to support millions of learners through personalized study tools, mock exams, and classroom-friendly solutions.
On Tuesday, the tech giant introduced AI-powered JEE Main mock tests driven by Gemini, marking a major step in India’s highly competitive exam preparation landscape. Alongside this product launch, Google announced an Rs 85 crore funding pipeline aimed at supporting nearly 75 million students across the country. The company also signed an agreement to help build India’s first AI-enabled state university in Meerut, signaling its long-term commitment to education infrastructure, not just digital tools.
Beyond Exam Prep: A Broader AI Strategy
Google’s move goes far beyond test preparation. The initiative is part of a broader strategy to promote the responsible expansion of AI across India’s learning and skilling ecosystem, covering everything from classroom management to personalized learning journeys. Rather than positioning AI as a shortcut to answers, Google is framing Gemini as a learning companion—one that helps students understand concepts, identify weaknesses, and plan smarter study routines.
With Gemini, students can do more than ask questions. The AI enables them to take full-length mock tests, track performance over time, and even act as a personalized study planner, adapting to individual needs and timelines.
How Gemini’s JEE Main Mock Tests Work
Using the tool is straightforward. JEE aspirants simply prompt the AI with:
“I want to take a JEE Main mock test.”
Gemini then generates a full-length practice exam, with questions sourced from established institutions such as PhysicsWallah and Careers360, ensuring the experience closely mirrors the real exam environment. This realism is key for students preparing under intense pressure, where time management and familiarity with exam patterns are critical.
Once the test is completed, Gemini delivers a detailed performance report, highlighting strengths, weak areas, and opportunities for improvement. If a student struggles with a question, the AI can explain the correct answer step by step, effectively acting as an on-demand tutor.
For deeper insights, students can use prompts like:
“Analyse my JEE mock test performance and tell me my weak and strong topics.”
Smarter Learning with Quizzes and Study Guides
Google is also reimagining everyday studying through its new Canvas tool in Search. Students can upload their class notes, and Gemini instantly converts them into customized study guides or quizzes. Whether a learner needs a concise summary, a chapter-specific revision guide, or a quick quiz before an exam, the AI adapts in real time.
This flexibility allows students to move away from one-size-fits-all timetables. Instead, Gemini helps build personalized study plans tailored to individual weaknesses, strengths, and the time remaining before exams.
Prompts like:
“Create a JEE study plan based on my weak topics and time left before the exam,”
or
“Adjust the plan to focus more on physics and maths,”
enable continuous fine-tuning of learning strategies.
A Larger Blueprint for India’s Education System
On a systemic level, Google.org is backing its vision with funding. The organization has awarded Wadhwani AI an Rs 85 crore grant to upgrade key government platforms such as SWAYAM and POSHAN Tracker. These upgrades will introduce voice-based AI tools to support reading in ten Indian languages, alongside English coaching programs aimed at improving job readiness.
By December 2027, the initiative aims to reach 75 million students and 1.8 million teachers, making it one of the most ambitious AI-driven education efforts in the country.
With Gemini at the core, Google’s education push in India signals a shift from reactive learning to proactive, personalized, and inclusive education—one where AI doesn’t replace teachers, but amplifies learning at scale.
