Gemini can then use this information to create a more personalised study plan based on the student’s goals. Students can also use Gemini Live to discuss information from Deep Research reports, including while they are away from their desks. What will Indian students get for free?

How can this help JEE and NEET aspirants? For Indian students preparing for exams such as JEE and NEET, the biggest advantage could be personalised practice. Instead of simply searching for an explanation, students can use AI tools to break down difficult concepts, create practice questions, visualise topics, and identify areas where they need more preparation. For example, a student struggling with a particular physics or biology topic could use Google’s learning tools to get explanations, visual examples and practice questions tailored to that topic. However, these AI tools are best treated as study assistants rather than replacements for teachers, textbooks or verified preparation material. Students should still cross-check important information, particularly when preparing for high-stakes competitive exams.
