Smarter learning or overdependence? AI’s double-edged role in exams

Even though the fundamental elements of competitive examinations in India over the last decade have remained similar to those of previous years, the technology associated with them continues to evolve. Imagine a JEE, NEET or IAS aspirant being able to identify and simplify the problems within seconds, use memorisation tricks to learn formulae, analyse which sections/chapters resulted in loss of marks, and track the time taken to solve each question in a mock test. This evolving method of preparation is increasingly influenced by technologies that incorporate AI into their preparation, revision, and performance analysis.
