Google is expanding its push into AI-powered learning by adding full-length Gemini practice tests for the Joint Entrance Exam (JEE), Nationwide engineering exam in India used to shortlist candidates for the country’s top technical institutions and taken by millions of students every year.
Google says students can take full mock exams for JEE within Gemini, which will provide questions based on vetted content from Indian education companies PhysicsWallah and Careers360.
The launch comes after the company recently rolled out similar test preparation tools for the SAT.
When students complete a Gemini mock test, Google says the chatbot will provide immediate feedback, highlighting areas of strength and where more study is needed. It can also clarify the correct answers and help students create a customized study plan based on their performance, the company said.
The launch of Gemini practice tests heralds a broader push to position the chatbot as a tool for structured exam preparation rather than a shortcut to answers.
In addition to Gemini, Google said that JEE Main preparation tools will be launched in AI Search Mode, including the Canvas toolwhich allows students to create study guides and interactive quizzes by attaching them to their class notes.
Google claims that students in India use Gemini to study subjects from advanced physics to broader STEM subjects, as well as NotebookLM for turning study materials into quizzes, flashcards and audio or video summaries. Google’s AI tools are available in several languages in India.

Google said it is also expanding its focus on teachers in India, and plans to partner with government agencies on a national program to help teachers and support staff use AI for administrative work and lesson design.
The company said it has partnered with the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship, and Chaudhary Charan Singh University in a pilot to establish an “AI-enabled state university.” The project aims to create a national framework for applying AI throughout vocational and higher education, covering teaching and student support, as well as administrative operations.
Additionally, the company said its charitable arm, Google.org, is supporting Wadhwani AI with a ₹850 million (about $10 million) grant to integrate AI into government-run education platforms. The initiative targets systems such as national online learning portals and state education platforms, aiming to make them more adaptable and reduce administrative burdens for teachers.
The program covers pre-school through higher education, and includes tools such as voice-based reading support in several Indian languages, and AI-powered English learning coaches. The company claims it has reached nearly 10 million students and teachers, and aims to scale to 75 million students, 1.8 million teachers, and one million early career professionals by the end of 2027.
