Google Wants Gemini to Be Your JEE Coach — Not a Shortcut

Google is pushing Gemini deeper into education, this time targeting India’s most competitive college entrance exam: the Joint Entrance Exam (JEE).

The company has added full-length JEE mock tests directly inside Gemini, built using vetted content from Indian education platforms PhysicsWallah and Careers360. Millions of students take the JEE every year, making this one of the highest-stakes exams in the world.

After completing a mock test, Gemini doesn’t just score you. It breaks down your strengths and weak spots, explains correct answers, and generates a personalized study plan based on performance — moving the chatbot closer to a structured digital tutor.

This follows Google’s recent rollout of SAT practice tools, signaling a global strategy: turn Gemini into a serious exam-prep platform, not just a Q&A bot.

Why this matters

This is a subtle but important shift. Google is positioning Gemini as “study infrastructure”, not cheating software. By focusing on mock exams, feedback loops, and study planning, Google is trying to stay on the right side of academic integrity while still embedding AI deeply into learning.

The bigger picture

• Gemini’s JEE tools will also appear in Search’s AI Mode, including Canvas, which lets students turn class notes into study guides and interactive quizzes.

• Indian students are already using Gemini for advanced physics and STEM, while NotebookLM is being used to convert notes into quizzes, flashcards, and even audio/video summaries.

• All tools support multiple Indian languages, expanding access beyond English-only prep.

The trade-off

While AI-driven prep can level the playing field, it also raises questions:

• Will AI-assisted prep widen the gap between students with access to advanced tools and those without?

• Where do schools draw the line between smart studying and over-reliance on AI guidance?

The takeaway

Google isn’t just selling AI to students — it’s quietly rebuilding the test-prep industry around Gemini. And if this works in India’s ultra-competitive exam ecosystem, expect similar rollouts for other national exams worldwide.

Hot take: The future of education AI won’t be about answering questions — it’ll be about owning the entire study loop.
