Digii100 Summit 2025 | New Delhi
Classrooms in the AI Era:
Redesigning Learning, Empowering Educators & Redefining Assessment
“Don't just experiment — aggressively adopt.”
What happens to the classroom when AI can teach, test, and tutor better than most systems we have built? That was the uncomfortable question at the centre of RT3. Across three focal points and eleven ground-level discoveries, academic leaders who are already experimenting — not theorising — shared what is actually working, what has failed, and what can no longer wait.
Key Discussion Pillars
Redesigning the Learning Model
Restructuring delivery across online theory, on-campus experience, and industry immersion — and moving away from the “abundance of teaching.”
Empowering Educators
From tools training to aggressive AI adoption. Why faculty must learn to perform, not just profess — and why leadership titles need to change too.
Rethinking Assessment
Designing exams where AI assistance becomes irrelevant — through anecdotal questions, prompt-based grading, and open-book formats that reward critical engagement.
Restoring Student Agency
Giving students the safety to fail during the learning phase, the confidence to trust their own thinking, and the skills to direct AI rather than depend on it.

Where These Conversations Happened
The Digii100 Summit 2025 was held on 13 December in New Delhi, and brought together over 300 Indian HEI leaders, policymakers, and industry partners.
The one-day, multi-track summit focused on how Indian higher education can use digital systems to strengthen governance, teaching, research, and student outcomes in line with the vision of a Viksit Bharat.
Across keynotes, panels, and closed-door roundtables, leaders examined issues such as institutional strategy, digital infrastructure, research management, industry collaboration, and academic quality.
One of these focused sessions was “The Research Playbook: Guiding India’s HEIs from Teaching-Only to Research-Driven.”
This playbook is based on the discussions and practical experiences shared in that roundtable.
