Rajasthan Assembly Passes Bill to Regulate Coaching Centres

On 3rd September 2025, the Rajasthan Assembly passed the Rajasthan Coaching Centres (Control and Regulation) Bill, 2025, aimed at regulating the coaching industry while addressing concerns about student well-being, though the move has drawn criticism from several Opposition leaders.

The Bill seeks to register, control, and regulate coaching centres across the state and sets minimum standards for infrastructure, faculty, and operations, with a focus on student safety, career guidance, and mental health counselling.
The Bill establishes a Rajasthan Coaching Centres (Control and Regulation) Authority comprising senior education and police officials, psychiatrists, and representatives from parents’ bodies and coaching centres, with district-level committees headed by magistrates and health officers for enforcement.
Registration is mandatory within three months of the law coming into force, with conditions including minimum space of one square metre per student, graduate-level qualifications for tutors, restrictions on misleading advertisements, and prohibition on making rank or marks guarantees.
Provisions mandate counselling systems, grievance redressal cells, transparent fee policies, updated websites with tutor qualifications and hostel facilities, and limits on teaching hours to a maximum of five hours daily with compulsory weekly days off for students and teachers.
The law applies to coaching centres with more than 100 students, while penalties for violations range from ₹50,000 for the first offence to ₹2 lakh for repeat offences, with cancellation of registration for persistent non-compliance.
