Google is giving Indian college students a free Gemini upgrade. As part of its new special offer, the tech giant announced that eligible students can get a free one-year subscription to a Google AI Pro plan to help them with their academics.
The tech giant says students aged over 18 are using Gemini for things like understanding complex topics, preparing for job interviews, and sparking creative ideas. As part of the Gemini AI Pro plan, students will get unlimited homework help, exam preparation and writing assistance.
To give you a quick recap, the Gemini AI Pro is powered by Gemini 2.5 Pro, the company’s most capable AI model to date. The plan gives you access to advanced tools like Deep Research, which can help with personal research and 5x higher limits in NotebookLM.
Apart from these research-focused features, you also get Gemini Live and the ability to use the Veo 3 video generation model in Gemini and Flow. Like Google’s AI plan for workspace, Gemini AI Pro brings Gemini to Google apps like Gmail, Docs, Sheets and more.
The plan also includes 2TB of cloud storage across Google services like Photos, Drive and Gmail, to name a few. To apply for the new offer, head over to “gemini.google/students/?gl=IN” from your favourite browser and click on the ‘Get offer’ button that appears in blue.
On the page that appears, tap on the ‘Verify eligibility’ button. Enter your details, like the name of your school or college, along with your details and email address you get from your institution. Alternatively, you can also use your personal Gmail account.
Now, click on the ‘Verify student status’ button at the end of the page, and Google will ask you to log in using your school or college’s web portal. Here, you will need to upload your credentials and upload proof of enrollment, like your school or college ID, class schedule, and tuition receipt.
Once done, the tech giant will review your documents for authenticity. This process takes around half an hour. If you don’t want to upload now, Google will automatically send an email to the address you provided with the link that brings you back to this page.
Note: Google will be giving away Gemini AI Pro for free till September 15, so make sure you fill up the form before the expiration date.
