Common Questions

Teachers ask

Will students use AI to cheat on assignments?
Yes — some will. The answer isn't to avoid AI, it's to design assignments that can't be cheated with AI. Ask students to explain their reasoning, connect concepts to their personal experience, or solve problems in class. The real skill isn't writing an essay — it's thinking. AI-proof your assessment design, not your classroom.
Is AI use allowed for teacher work in Indian schools?
There are no national guidelines prohibiting teachers from using AI tools for lesson planning, content creation or administrative tasks. CBSE and NCERT have not issued specific restrictions. Individual schools may have policies — check with your principal. Using AI to assist your teaching preparation is no different from using a textbook guide or reference material.
Which AI tool is best for Hindi medium teachers?
Google Gemini has the strongest Hindi support — you can give instructions and receive full lesson plans in Hindi. Meta AI on WhatsApp is easiest for quick Hindi queries. ChatGPT handles Hindi well but occasionally transliterates instead of using Devanagari — specify "respond in Devanagari Hindi" in your prompt. Murf AI has natural-sounding Hindi voices for audio content.
