n a massive boost for engineering aspirants across the country, Google officially launched AI-powered JEE Main mock tests on its Gemini platform on Wednesday, January 28, 2026.
Announced at the India AI Summit 2026, this feature allows students to access high-quality, full-length practice exams for free. By partnering with leading Indian edtech firms PhysicsWallah and Careers360, Google is ensuring that the content is grounded in actual exam patterns and difficulty levels.
1. How to Access the JEE Mock Tests
Google has designed the experience to be as frictionless as possible. Students do not need to download separate coaching apps; they can start directly within the Gemini interface.
- The Command: Simply type or say, “I want to take a JEE Main mock test” or “JEE Main practice test.”
- Format: The tests consist of 75 questions (25 each from Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics) mirroring the latest NTA pattern.
- Flexibility: While the standard test is three hours, students can request a custom time limit or focus on specific subjects for shorter practice sessions.
2. Key AI Features: More Than Just a Test
Unlike traditional PDF-based papers, Gemini acts as a 24/7 personal tutor, providing deep insights into a student’s performance.
| Feature | Student Benefit |
| Instant Feedback | Receive your score and a detailed performance breakdown immediately after submission. |
| Step-by-Step Logic | Ask Gemini, “Explain the solution for Question 14,” to see a detailed, multi-step derivation. |
| Weak Spot Analysis | The AI identifies specific topics (e.g., “Rotational Dynamics”) where you are consistently losing marks. |
| Follow-up Quizzes | Generate mini-quizzes specifically targeting your weak areas to reinforce learning. |
| Multilingual Support | Available in multiple Indian languages, including Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Bengali, and Marathi. |
3. The “Canvas” Tool & NotebookLM Integration
Beyond mock tests, Google is deploying a full AI learning ecosystem for Indian students:
- AI Mode in Search (Canvas): A new “Canvas” side panel in Google Search allows students to upload their handwritten class notes and transform them into interactive study guides or flashcards.
- NotebookLM: Students can turn their textbook chapters into Audio Overviews (podcast-style summaries) or video explanations to help with revision on the go.
4. Strategic Context: India Leads the World
The launch follows a remarkable surge in AI adoption in India.
- Top User Base: India currently ranks as the #1 country globally for daily Gemini usage for learning purposes.
- The Grant: Google.org also committed an ₹85 crore ($10 million) grant to Wadhwani AI to modernize government platforms like SWAYAM, aiming to reach 75 million students by 2027.
- AI University: Google is collaborating with the Ministry of Skill Development to pilot India’s first AI-native state university at Chaudhary Charan Singh University in Meerut.
Conclusion: Democratizing IIT Preparation
By offering full-length JEE mocks for free, Google is directly challenging the expensive coaching monopoly in India. The “tutor mindset” of Gemini 3 Pro ensures that students in rural areas or lower-income families have access to the same high-caliber feedback as those in elite city institutes. As the January 2026 JEE session approaches, this tool provides a critical, high-tech edge for millions of aspirants.
