Acer, Intel and Infinity Learn launch India’s first NEET-ready laptop for CBT transition

With NEET set to become a Computer-Based Test from 2027, Acer, Intel and Infinity Learn have introduced an integrated learning ecosystem featuring AI-powered preparation, CBT simulation and Intel-powered Aspire laptops to help students build digital confidence.

As the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) prepares to transition to a Computer-Based Test (CBT) format from 2027, Acer, Intel and Infinity Learn have partnered to launch what they describe as India’s first integrated NEET Ready Ecosystem. As part of the collaboration, the companies have unveiled the country’s first NEET Ready Laptop, designed to equip medical aspirants with both digital skills and academic resources required for the new examination format.

The initiative combines Acer’s Aspire series laptops, Intel’s computing technologies and Infinity Learn’s AI-powered NEET preparation platform to help students adapt to the evolving digital examination landscape.

Addressing the shift to computer-based NEET

Every year, more than 22 lakh students appear for NEET, making it India’s largest undergraduate medical entrance examination. With the move to CBT, students will not only need strong subject knowledge but also familiarity with digital testing environments.

The partnership aims to bridge this gap, particularly for students from Tier II, Tier III and rural regions, where access to personal computing devices remains limited. Nearly 70% of NEET aspirants come from these regions, making digital preparedness an important aspect of exam readiness.

Integrated learning and computing solution

The offering features Acer Aspire laptops powered by Intel processors and preloaded with Infinity Learn’s comprehensive NEET preparation ecosystem. The integrated platform combines hardware with digital learning resources, enabling students to prepare for competitive examinations through a single device.

The learning ecosystem includes the Infinity Learn app, AI Mentor AINA, live and recorded classes, curated study material, adaptive chapter-wise practice, mock tests, detailed performance analytics with personalized recommendations and a CBT simulation environment that closely mirrors the expected NEET examination experience.

The integrated CBT simulation is designed to familiarise students with timed assessments, exam navigation and performance benchmarking, helping them build confidence before the actual examination.

Leaders emphasise digital readiness

Sushma Boppana, CEO & Director, Sri Chaitanya Educational Institutions & Founder, Infinity Learn, said: "For decades, NEET aspirants have prepared for a pen-and-paper examination. The transition to Computer-Based Testing marks a defining shift in India's competitive exam landscape, making digital readiness as important as academic preparation. At Sri Chaitanya and Infinity Learn, we believe preparing students for the future means equipping them with both academic excellence and digital confidence. As educators, it is our responsibility to help students embrace this change, and we're delighted to partner with Acer and Intel, who share our vision. Together, we are combining trusted technology, AI-powered learning and our proven NEET expertise to build a comprehensive CBT readiness ecosystem, ensuring every aspirant has the access, skills and confidence to succeed."

Harish Kohli, President & Managing Director, Acer India, said: "At Acer, we believe technology has the power to transform learning and unlock opportunities for millions of students. As competitive examinations increasingly move towards digital formats, access to the right technology & device becomes crucial to student success. Through this exceptional collaboration with Intel and Infinity Learn, we are enabling students with a reliable Intel-powered Acer Aspire laptop bundled with a comprehensive NEET preparation ecosystem that supports learning, assessment and continuous improvement. Together, we aim to equip students with both the technology and study material needed to excel in the next generation of competitive examinations."

Ujjwal Singh, Founding CEO, Infinity Learn by Sri Chaitanya, said: "India has spent decades improving access to quality education. The next challenge is ensuring equal access to digital examination readiness. This collaboration brings together trusted personalized learning and proven academic outcomes into one integrated ecosystem. Our vision is simple—to ensure that talent, not access to technology, determines who succeeds in NEET 2027. We believe this is the beginning of an entirely new category where computing devices are designed around learner outcomes rather than hardware specifications."

Santhosh Viswanathan, Vice President & Managing Director, Intel APJ Region, said: "As learning becomes increasingly digital, students need more than just access to technology; they need fast, reliable devices that can keep pace with their ambitions. Intel-powered PCs are designed to deliver the performance, responsiveness and reliability students need for AI-assisted learning and immersive educational experiences. Together with Acer and Infinity Learn, we're helping build an ecosystem that prepares students for the future of competitive examinations."

Making digital learning more accessible

The companies said the integrated ecosystem has been developed to ensure students are equipped for both academic preparation and digital test-taking, reflecting the changing nature of competitive examinations in India.

The NEET Ready Laptop and learning ecosystem will be available exclusively through Flipkart, with EMI options starting from ₹2,500 per month, making the solution more accessible to aspiring medical students preparing for the 2027 CBT transition.
