Digii, India’s leading SaaS provider for Higher Education, today released a first-of-its-kind survey, titled, ‘AI-Driven Education: Maximizing the potential of AI to aid educators and enhance educational successes. The unique survey conducted amongst faculty members from higher education institutes in Bangalore, Delhi, and Hyderabad, aimed to capture educators' perspectives on the growing role of AI in education. The findings revealed that 93% of faculty members across these regions are enthusiastic about AI and believe it will significantly enhance their teaching experience.

Based on insights from over 500 educators across 22 leading institutions nationwide, including Manipal Academy of Banking, Jain (Deemed-to-be University), Chanakya University, BITSoM, VIT Bangalore, The Apollo University, Malla Reddy University, the Indian Institute of Art and Design, etc, the survey explored the transformative potential of AI on overall teaching experience. It also assessed faculty readiness for training in AI tools and examined how technology can be leveraged to revolutionize teaching and learning.

Among these, over 70% utilize AI for content creation, 40.1% for generating assessments, 28.4% for monitoring attendance, 24.4% for conducting evaluations, and 22.5% for generating feedback. Additionally, over 37% have experimented with AI tools but are not currently using them, while 21.6% have not used AI tools at all in their teaching.
