Are students in India actually learning less after ChatGPT became common?

I’ve been interacting with students recently, and I’m trying to understand something honestly - not judge.

It feels like assignments are getting done faster than before.
Code works. Answers look clean.

But when I ask very basic follow-ups like
“why does this work?” or
“what would happen if we change this?”

a lot of students struggle to explain.

At the same time, I also see students saying AI is helping them learn faster and reduce confusion.

So I’m a bit conflicted.

My qualifications: I work closely with students in a teaching/training setting in India.

If you’re a student in India right now:

  • Do you feel like you’re learning better with AI?
  • Or just finishing work faster?
  • Has it changed how you study?

Also curious about educators here - what are you noticing?

Not looking for right/wrong answers, just trying to understand what’s actually happening on the ground.
