IoT is transforming the modern world. Presently, every field of life is being considered under the scope of IoT. Education is one of them and the field to be explored the most as education leads the world and so the technological inputs in it. The purpose of this study is to qualitatively evaluate the concept of IoT and discover the potential areas of implementation of it in the educational scenario in Indian perspectives specifically. IoT is basically connecting the things with the internet for the major purpose of communication of information and execution of defined programs.

India is going to make huge progress in this field as per the official estimations but the educational field in India still lacks many of the advancements which have been made recently and which are successfully working in the other fields. Connecting the learners and faculties to smart AI systems is one of the key ideas to be focused on. The entire education system which consists of administrative processes, learning and teaching activities, evaluation methods etc. may be transformed through it.
