India gets first access
India is among the first countries to receive the Gemini for Students rollout at this scale. Google hasn't announced a user cap, so thousands of students are likely to benefit.
Boosting student confidence with AI
According to a Google-Kantar report, 95 per cent of Indian students using Gemini felt more confident in their daily tasks, and 75 per cent expressed the need for such AI tools to support their growth and learning.

As AI continues to shape the future of education, offers like this are paving the way for smarter, more confident learners. If you are a college student in India, this is the right time to explore the power of AI, completely free for a year.
