What the Apple Music student offer includes
Student members get the same Apple Music as everyone else: the full catalogue, lossless audio, Dolby Atmos spatial audio, lyrics and downloads, on iPhone, Mac, Android and the web. On top of that, Apple's India page says the plan comes with access to Apple TV at no extra cost.
Three conditions matter. The Apple TV access ends if you no longer qualify or don't renew. It doesn't extend to a Family Sharing group, so family members don't get it through you. And student pricing lasts up to four years while you remain a student, after which the plan moves to the Individual price.
