Expansion of AI education and integration in India

Overview

Following the expansion of AI-focused MBA pathways and corporate partnerships in late 2024, India is moving toward systemic integration of AI across all educational levels. In September 2026, the Ministry of Education, in collaboration with CBSE and NCERT, announced plans to introduce Artificial Intelligence and Computational Thinking into the school curriculum starting from Class 3. This initiative, aligned with the National Education Policy 2020, seeks to leverage platforms like DIKSHA and SWAYAM to personalize learning, though experts warn of potential biases and a widening digital divide between private and government schools.

At the higher education level, regional leadership is driving multidisciplinary adoption. In Punjab, Governor Gulab Chand Kataria has urged universities to apply AI to fields including medicine, agriculture, and law, emphasizing the need for ethical and inclusive use. Simultaneously, the Uttar Pradesh state government is drafting a formal AI policy through an advisory committee established by Governor Anandiben Patel, with a focus on rural AI readiness for farmers and laborers.

Recent findings from a study of students in Bangalore suggest that the actual integration of AI and Large Language Models (LLMs) is outpacing existing policy and governance frameworks. Survey data indicates high engagement, with 48% of students using AI daily for academic purposes, particularly in computer science and mathematics. However, the study highlights a critical governance gap regarding accuracy standards, age-specific safeguards, and academic integrity, noting significant student resistance to AI-based assessments. Researchers suggest urgent regulatory action is required within frameworks like the Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023 to address these developments.
