Abstract : The global expansion of accessible Gen AI tools, specifically Large Language Models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT and Gemini is transforming the paradigm of higher education. Bangladesh is not exempt from this as the favorability of ChatGPT and Gemini is increasing substantially among Bangladeshi university students given its availability and ability to generate exclusive content, and comprehensive responses within seconds. However, the core differences between ChatGPT and Gemini in accessing and processing information lead them to provide exclusive experience and expertise influencing students’ productivity and interest. By analyzing the factors influencing Bangladeshi students’ use of ChatGPT and Gemini, this research intends to provide critical insights and contribute to developing policies for incorporating AI ethically in the national curriculum addressing students’ needs. This study adopted quantitative methods with a questionnaire survey. The paper identified the key factors that differentiate the use of ChatGPT and Gemini for academic purposes among university students in Bangladesh which will contributes to transformative changes in Bangladesh’s education development.

Keywords : ChatGPT, Gemini, LLMs, Education, Bangladesh.
