ENROLLMENT GUIDE: Securing Your Free Google AI Pro Plan

To ensure successful access to this invaluable offer, students must follow a clear and precise enrollment process. Adherence to these steps is critical.

1. Verify Eligibility Criteria:
   • Indian College Student: Applicants must be currently enrolled in a recognized higher education institution in India.
   • Age Requirement: Applicants must be at least 18 years old.
   • Google Account: Registration requires a personal Google Account (Gmail ID). While an institutional email (e.g., .edu.in) is crucial for student status verification, the AI Pro plan will be linked to the personal Gmail account for seamless access.
   • Existing Subscriptions: Students should not have an active Google One subscription at a tier higher than the AI Pro plan.
2. Access the Official Offer Page:
   • Navigate directly to the verified Google offer page for students: gemini.google/students/?gl=IN (Visit Official Google Offer Page).
   • Locate and click the prominently displayed “Get offer” button.
3. Complete Student Status Verification via SheerID:
   • The process will redirect users to SheerID, Google’s secure third-party partner specializing in student status verification (Learn more about SheerID verification).
   • Applicants will be prompted to upload verifiable proof of enrollment. Accepted documents typically include:
     • Your college ID card (clear images of both front and back).
     • A copy of your current class timetable/schedule.
     • An official fee receipt or an enrollment letter that clearly states your name, institution, and current academic year.
   • Verification usually completes within 30 minutes. In cases requiring manual review, the process may extend up to 48 hours. Monitor your personal Gmail inbox (including spam folders) for updates from SheerID.
4. Payment Method Linkage (No Charge During Free Period):
   • Upon successful verification, users will be required to link a payment method (e.g., UPI, credit card, debit card) to their Google Payments profile.
   • Crucial Note: No charges will be incurred during the entire 12-month free subscription period. This step is standard practice for activating trial subscriptions and to facilitate billing only if the user opts to continue the subscription after the free period concludes.
   • A nominal, refundable amount (e.g., ₹2) may be temporarily debited for card verification purposes; this will be credited back.
   • Recommendation: It is strongly advisable for students to set a personal reminder (e.g., for August 15, 2026) to review their subscription status approximately one month before the free period expires on September 15, 2026. This ensures complete control over continuation decisions.
5. Plan Activation:
   • Complete the final activation steps as prompted.
   • The Google AI Pro plan will then be successfully activated, granting immediate access to Gemini 2.5 Pro and all associated premium benefits.
