Google is offering Indian college students a complimentary upgrade to Gemini. In a new promotional deal, the tech company revealed that students who meet the criteria can receive a free one-year subscription to a Google AI Pro plan to support their studies. The company mentioned that students over 18 are utilizing Gemini for various purposes such as grasping difficult subjects, preparing for job interviews, and generating creative ideas. With the Gemini AI Pro plan, students will receive endless assistance with homework, exam preparation, and writing support. Just to summarize, the Gemini AI Pro is powered by Gemini 2.5 Pro, which is the most advanced AI model from the company so far. This plan provides access to sophisticated tools like Deep Research to aid personal research and allows five times higher limits in NotebookLM. Besides these research-oriented features, users will also have access to Gemini Live and the option to use the Veo 3 video creation model in both Gemini and Flow.
Similar to Google's AI plan for workspaces, Gemini AI Pro integrates Gemini into Google apps such as Gmail, Docs, Sheets, and others. The plan also comes with 2TB of cloud storage across various Google services, including Photos, Drive, and Gmail, among others.
