The University of Petroleum and Energy Studies (UPES), Dehradun has partnered with OpenAI to roll out ChatGPT Edu across its campus, marking a major step toward becoming an AI-first university.
Under this collaboration, ChatGPT will be made accessible to all students, faculty, and staff, integrating generative AI into teaching, learning, research, and administrative functions. The initiative aims to move beyond experimental use of AI and embed it as a core part of the institution’s academic infrastructure.
A key feature of the rollout is the introduction of a personalised AI tutor, aligned with course curricula and academic requirements. This tool will provide real-time assistance, concept clarification, multilingual support, and personalised learning pathways for students.
The platform will also support AI-enabled student services, helping streamline administrative processes while maintaining human oversight where necessary. In addition, UPES will implement a Responsible AI Charter to ensure ethical use, data privacy, and governance across campus.

By embedding AI into everyday academic workflows, the university aims to equip students with practical, discipline-specific AI skills, enhancing their employability in an increasingly AI-driven job market. Faculty and researchers are also expected to benefit from reduced routine workload and faster knowledge discovery.
This initiative positions UPES among the early adopters of large-scale AI integration in higher education in India, reflecting a broader shift toward institutional adoption of AI tools to build future-ready talent.
