Maharashtra has introduced a draft law aimed at regulating private coaching centres across the state. The proposal requires coaching centres to register and follow specific rules on class schedules, fees, and student safety. It also sets a maximum of five class hours per day for coaching activities and includes penalties for violations.
The draft law is presented as a measure to improve educational quality and protect students’ wellbeing. It also seeks to curb misleading or improper claims by coaching centres through clearer guidelines and enforcement mechanisms. The proposal includes restrictions on enrolment, including a ban on admitting students under 13 years old, according to the information reported.
Across the coverage provided, the emphasis is broadly on consumer protection and compliance: registration, limits on daily teaching hours, and defined standards for fees and safety. Differences in outlet framing, in the excerpts available, are limited, with both accounts describing the same central provisions and the state’s stated rationale.
