It is capable of creating personalized and interactive content based on the prompts given by the user. It is known to be able to generate essays and articles and write scripts as well. This study intended to understand how and why students use this platform and to know their opinion about the same, which could be useful to understand how such a tool would be accepted in the teaching-learning process in educational institutions. Using quantitative approach, the researcher took an online survey through Google forms to administrate to college students through WhatsApp. 123 responses were received in which it was found that students used ChatGPT for their assignments, to generate content and captions to be posted in social media and to get ideas and inspirations and for various other reasons.
