OpenAI launches free ChatGPT Study Mode in India: Multilingual learning guide
OpenAI launched ChatGPT's 'Study Mode' in India on July 29, 2025, a free, multilingual tool designed to enhance interactive learning. It guides students through step-by-step prompts in 11 Indian languages, fostering critical thinking.
OpenAI has launched a new addition to ChatGPT called the Study Mode, targeted to revolutionise learning among students in India. This multilingual, free tool, which was launched on July 29, 2025, takes the users through a step-by-step learning process. It allows interactive prompts, rather than giving fast responses. The feature is available in 11 languages of India, and this aspect makes it easy to access by different learners. It is accessible to any logged-in user on Free, Plus, Pro, and Team plans, and support of ChatGPT Edu is on the way.
The tool is a new type of learning tool that is aimed at helping students with their homework, preparing for exams, and learning new things. OpenAI has partnered with educators and educational experts to develop a system that helps to gain a more profound comprehension. Study Mode will provide a vibrant learning experience as it combines voice, text, and image inputs. The initial response of Indian students shows that it can be an effective and engaging way of learning.
How to use Study Mode
The user can reach Study Mode by opening ChatGPT and clicking on the Tools menu and then clicking on ‘Study and Learn.’ Once a topic or a question is selected, the tool gives guiding questions or prompts. In the case of algebra, when a student enquires about it, ChatGPT may pose the question, "What is the initial step in resolving this equation?” In this Socratic method, participation is promoted. Study Mode can be activated or deactivated at any given time by the users.
Key features of Study Mode
Study Mode contains guided learning in the form of interactive questions, quizzes, and customised feedback. It simplifies complicated issues into manageable units to make them non-cumbersome to users. The tool learns the level of the user, so it is an individual support. Such things as short quizzes, knowledge checks, etc. are useful to reinforce concepts. As per the plans of OpenAI, the feature will be further improved with visual assistance and the tracking of the progress in accordance with the feedback of the users.
Impact on Indian education
The introduction of Study Mode will solve the problem of AI misuse in education. It encourages ethical learning because it does not give direct answers but instead guides the students. Teachers regard it as a move towards ensuring AI becomes a useful tool in the classroom. It supports multilingualism and provides services to the linguistically diverse India. With the help of Stanford researchers, OpenAI is also undertaking studies to determine its effects on learning outcomes in an effort to perfect the tool further.
Study Mode is seen by OpenAI as the beginning of a revolution of AI-based learning. Additions that can be made in the future are voice-based quizzes and more personalisation. The firm is welcoming feedback to be given by Indian students, parents, and teachers in order to enhance the feature. With AI tools entering the educational field, Study Mode may establish a new paradigm of interactive learning in India and other countries.
