Maharashtra Proposes Draft Law to Regulate Private Coaching Centres
Maharashtra's school education department has released a draft bill to regulate private coaching centres, inviting public feedback until September 4, 2026. The proposed law mandates registration, fee transparency, infrastructure and safety standards, and prohibits employing school teachers. It also bans integrated coaching models linked to schools, basement operations, and hiring individuals with cognizable offences. The draft follows Union government guidelines and aims to address issues highlighted by the recent NEET-UG 2026 paper leak, with a report due by September 20.
