The technological era of today has rapidly advanced, with the emergence of ChatGPT, a language model capable to generate human-like responses and conversations. With the integration of such a groundbreaking technology in education, it has become necessary to understand its impact. ChatGPT has been widely used in schools, offices, and universities, yet some schools and universities have prohibited its usage for academic exams.

Schools have also taken positive measures to provide students guidance, through career counselling sessions which will help students in their subject selection.
