Maharashtra proposes law to regulate private coaching centres, cap classes at five hours a day

In a significant move, Maharashtra intends to regulate private coaching centres by mandating their registration. The forthcoming law stipulates that classes cannot exceed five hours per day and establishes fee guidelines. Additionally, it prohibits the enrollment of children below thirteen years old and bans misleading promises. Coaching centres are now required to prioritize student safety, offer counselling services, and maintain acceptable infrastructure.
