The students' research, writing, and academic project preparation have all changed as a result of artificial intelligence (AI), which has become a crucial component of contemporary education. In the context of Indian higher education institutions, this study investigates students' attitudes and understanding regarding the usage of AI technologies in project preparation. The study investigates the degree of acceptability, familiarity, and ethical issues around research-assistance platforms, ChatGPT, Grammarly, QuillBot, and other technologies. 200 undergraduate and graduate students from a variety of academic fields were given a structured questionnaire as part of a quantitative study design. The results show that although most students have a favorable view toward AI integration because of its time-saving and learning-supporting capabilities, there is still a sizable understanding gap regarding originality, academic integrity, and ethical use. In order to guarantee the ethical and efficient use of AI technologies in higher education, the study emphasizes the necessity of comprehensive AI literacy programs and regulatory guidelines.
