As part of its growing focus on AI-powered education in India, Google has introduced full-length practice tests for the Joint Entrance Exam (JEE) inside its Gemini chatbot. The JEE is a nationwide engineering entrance exam taken by millions of students each year to secure admission into top technical institutes.
Google said students can now attempt complete JEE mock exams directly within Gemini. The questions are created using verified content from Indian education platforms PhysicsWallah and Careers360. This move follows Google’s recent rollout of similar AI-based preparation tools for the SAT.
After completing a mock test, Gemini provides instant feedback. It highlights strong areas, identifies topics that need improvement, and explains correct answers. The chatbot can also help students build a personalised study plan based on their performance, according to the company.
With this update, Google is positioning Gemini as a structured exam preparation tool rather than a shortcut for answers. The focus is on guided learning, practice, and understanding concepts more clearly.
Google also said JEE Main preparation features will expand to AI Mode in Search. This includes the Canvas tool, which allows students to create study guides and interactive quizzes by uploading their class notes.
The company noted that Indian students are already using Gemini to study advanced physics and other STEM subjects. Many are also using NotebookLM to turn study material into quizzes, flashcards, and audio or video summaries. Google’s AI learning tools support multiple Indian languages.
Beyond students, Google said it is increasing support for educators in India. The company plans to work with government bodies on a nationwide initiative to help teachers and staff use AI for lesson planning and administrative tasks.
Google confirmed partnerships with the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship and Chaudhary Charan Singh University to pilot an “AI-enabled state university.” The project aims to build a national framework for applying AI across vocational and higher education, including teaching, student support, and administration.
In addition, Google’s charitable arm, Google.org, is supporting Wadhwani AI with an ₹850 million grant, valued at about $10 million. The funding will help integrate AI into government education platforms, including national and state-level online learning systems.
The programme covers pre-school to higher education and includes tools such as voice-based reading support and AI-powered English learning coaches. Google said the initiative has already reached around 10 million learners and educators, with a goal to scale to 75 million students, 1.8 million educators, and 1 million early-career professionals by the end of 2027.
