Google is offering university students in Bangladesh free access to its Gemini Pro plan along with 400GB of cloud storage as part of its global “Back to School” programme.

The offer, launched globally on 21 August, includes a 12-month subscription to Google Gemini, higher usage limits and 400GB of cloud storage. Students can also get discounts of up to 70% on Google AI Pro and YouTube Premium subscriptions.

Who is eligible?

The offer is available to university students in Bangladesh aged 18 or above.

Students must have a personal Gmail account and provide proof of enrolment at a recognised university. A valid university student ID or recent semester fee payment slip can be used for verification.

How to claim the offer

Students can follow these steps:

1. Sign in to their personal Gmail account through a web browser.
2. Visit Google’s “Google One Student” page.
3. Click on “Get Student Offer”.
4. Select Bangladesh and enter their name and university.
