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.
