Google earlier this year in July, had launched one-year free subscription to the Google AI Pro service for students in India.

Now, top cellular service provider, Reliance Jio, on Thursday (October 30) announced a partnership with Google to offer free access to its AI Pro premium generative Artificial Intelligence (gen AI) services.

Reliance Jio users are eligible to get an 18-month subscription (worth Rs 35,100) to Google AI Pro for free. The benefits include Gemini 2.5 Pro model in the Gemini app, higher limits to generate stunning images and videos with their state-of-the-art Nano Banana and Veo 3.1 models.

Also, users can access Notebook LM for study and research and more.

With access to Notebook LM and Deep Research tools, students can do research work faster, and the AI chatbot, which now runs on the latest Gemini 2.5 Pro large language model, can offer writing assistance as well.

With Veo 3, students can create photorealistic videos with just text prompts. Veo 3 lets users create 8-second videos, including background sounds. Users have to describe the scene by adding characters with speech, and it can be enhanced with background music and sound effects for increased realism.
