Google has introduced new AI-powered learning features in India, with a clear focus on students preparing for competitive exams like JEE Main. The company says the update is part of its effort to make AI more useful for everyday learning, not just search.
The biggest change for students is the launch of full-length JEE Main mock tests on Gemini. Unlike basic practice questions, these tests are designed to closely match the real exam format. Google has partnered with education platforms such as PhysicsWallah and Careers360 to ensure the content is accurate and relevant. Students can start a mock test by simply asking Gemini to begin a JEE Main practice test.
After completing a test, Gemini shows where a student is doing well and where they are struggling. Instead of generic scores, students get clear topic-level insights. Gemini can also explain answers in simple language and help create a focused study plan based on weak areas.
Google is also improving how students revise topics outside mock tests. With AI Mode in Search, students can now create study guides and quizzes using their own class notes. This is useful for quick revision before exams, as the AI adapts content based on the material provided by the student.
Teachers are not the main focus of this update, but they also get practical upgrades. Google Classroom now uses Gemini to help draft assignments and summarise student progress. This reduces manual work and allows teachers to spend more time on actual teaching.
Alongside learning tools, Google is also addressing concerns around AI misuse. The company is rolling out tools that help users identify AI-generated images and videos using its SynthID technology. This is aimed at building trust as AI becomes more common in classrooms.
