Maharashtra Proposes Bill to Regulate Private Coaching Centres with Registration and Safety Norms
The Maharashtra government has proposed the Maharashtra Private Coaching Classes (Registration and Regulation) Act, 2026, aiming to regulate private coaching centres statewide. The draft bill mandates registration for centres with over 25 students, caps daily class hours at five, and sets teacher qualification standards. It also prohibits enrolling children under 13, bans misleading promises, and seeks to ensure student safety, mental well-being, and grievance redressal. Public feedback is invited before the government considers the bill in September.
