MT Educare (Mahesh Tutorials) has abruptly shut 33 branches across Mumbai, leaving over 800 students and hundreds of teachers affected after collecting full-year fees. Parents have sought government intervention over fee refunds and students' academic future. The closure has also renewed focus on the coaching institute's insolvency proceedings and lack of regulation in the private coaching sector.

Mumbai: MT Educare Limited (Mahesh Tutorials), a renowned coaching institute in the state, has decided to close 33 of its branches across Mumbai without any prior notice. This sudden closure has sparked anxiety among thousands of students, parents, teachers, and staff members. Currently, over 800 students are enrolled in these tutorials, having already paid their fees for the entire academic year. Parents are now urging the state government to intervene, given the potential detriment to the students' education.

Mahesh Tutorials has been active in the education sector for approximately 38 years. However, several of its branches were abruptly shut down recently. An urgent meeting of all branch heads was held on July 7, 2026. Subsequently, the management announced the decision to immediately halt operations across all state branches starting July 10. Prior to this, the institute had already collected full admission fees from parents for the 2026-27 academic year. Parents have stated that no alternative educational arrangements were provided for the students, nor was there any clear announcement regarding fee refunds. Consequently, thousands of families are facing a financial and mental crisis.

"The classes had closed down several branches operating accross the state. They continued operating the revenue generating branches in the city yet they continued to incur losses. The classes offered students a combo of 9th and 10th grade and continued its operations despite a declared bankruptcy," said Prajesh Trotsky, President of Maharashtra class owners association.
