Teachers will receive premium ChatGPT access for lesson planning, assignments, and student engagement, while students will benefit from features like Study Mode and interactive quizzes designed to foster interactive learning.

ChatGPT's Study Mode, introduced in July and developed with input from educators and pedagogy experts, encourages deeper understanding through interactive learning.

A $500,000 research initiative with IIT Madras will explore how AI can improve learning outcomes and pedagogy, focusing on cognitive neuroscience, with findings shared publicly to inform future AI development.

This partnership will study AI’s impact on teaching practices, learning outcomes, and cognition over six months, with results aimed at guiding educational innovation.

OpenAI’s recent expansion in India includes opening a new office in New Delhi, launching a ChatGPT subscription plan priced at Rs 399/month with UPI payments, and enhancing Indic language capabilities in GPT-5.

OpenAI has launched an India-first Learning Accelerator initiative in partnership with IIT Madras, the Ministry of Education, AICTE, and ARISE, aiming to promote AI tools and training for educators and students across the country.

The goal is to ensure AI deepens learning without compromising critical thinking skills, especially in India, which has the largest student population actively using ChatGPT for homework, exams, and idea exploration.

Partnerships include providing ChatGPT access to teachers in government schools and technical institutes to support lesson planning, student engagement, and digital skills development.

As part of this effort, OpenAI plans to distribute approximately 500,000 ChatGPT licenses to educators and students, complemented by AI training programs and a personalized tutor study mode to enhance learning.

OpenAI will deploy tools such as ChatGPT’s Study Mode, a personalized tutor offering interactive, tailored responses based on Indian learners’ feedback, to support student engagement and learning.

OpenAI emphasizes that ChatGPT supports basic smartphones, 11 Indian languages, and voice interaction, targeting government schools and low-cost institutions to improve accessibility.

The program aims to leverage AI as a personal tutor for students and to free teachers for core teaching activities, prioritizing access and training over monetization.

OpenAI underscores the importance of collaborating with educators and institutions to ensure responsible and effective AI use in education, aligning with its broader mission to benefit humanity.
