OpenAI launches ‘Chats for college students in India’; IIT Madras, DTC share over 50 case studies

OpenAI, an Artificial Intelligence platform has launched ‘Chats for college students in India’ platform with over 50 real-world use cases, shared by students at IIT Madras, Manipal Academy of Higher Education (MAHE), and Delhi Technical Campus (DTC). The objective behind the education-driven initiative is to make ChatGPT easier for college students to use in their studies.

The new ChatGPT platform features case studies shared by students in India, explaining how they use ChatGPT to study, learn new skills, and navigate college life. Over 25 college students across India created and ranked these cases in form of chats in the ChatGPT lab, according to the official website of OpenAI.

The new ChatGPT webpage includes several types of prompts, such as exam preparation, creating study schedule, pre-grading your assignment, and several others.

ChatGPT as intellectual partner for students

“Education has become the number one use case for ChatGPT in India, driven entirely by students from the ground up. Students are using Artificial Intelligence as an intellectual sparring partner to develop real-world skills like problem-solving, analytical reasoning, and creative exploration,” according to the official press release.

In September this year, the All India Council of Technical Education (AICTE) joined hands with the Microsoft-backed startup OpenAI to provide over 1 lakh free ChatGPT Go licenses for 6 months to its students and faculty members.

Notably, the Ministry of Education also collaborated with OpenAI to enable access to ChatGPT to teachers of classes 1 to 12 in government schools. The partnership aimed to strengthen digital skills, employability, and practical AI use at AICTE-affiliated public institutions across the country.

TG Sitharaman, chairman, AICTE, in an official statement last month, said: “AI is not just transforming technology, it’s redefining how we shape the future of our technical workforce. At AICTE, we are integrating AI across disciplines and focusing on hands-on, industry-relevant training for both students and faculty.”

In addition, earlier this month, Coursera, an online learning platform also announced its collaboration with Open AI.
