        abstract = {Education systems worldwide are undergoing a paradigm shift with the rapid integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into everyday academic and administrative practices. The emergence of advanced AI tools, such as ChatGPT, has redefined how students approach learning, assignments, and assessments, raising crucial questions about traditional teaching methods. This review explores the challenges and opportunities in adapting school and higher education to the age of AI. It highlights the deliberations of the IIT Council, which emphasised the urgent need for curriculum reforms, innovative pedagogical approaches, and stronger collaborations between academia, industry, and global partners. Key concerns include redefining the role of teachers from mere content providers to facilitators of critical thinking, addressing the ethical use of AI in education, and promoting digital literacy among both students and educators. The discussion also focuses on strategies to enhance the quality of research programs, attract international faculty, and align educational goals with India’s vision of becoming a developed nation by 2047. Furthermore, the paper emphasizes the importance of integrating regional languages into higher education, fostering inclusivity, and ensuring accessibility in the digital era. By addressing these challenges and implementing reforms, the education system can harness the transformative potential of AI to create future-ready learners while safeguarding academic integrity and holistic development.},
