Maharashtra has proposed a new law to regulate private coaching centres, capping classes at five hours a day, banning coaching for children under 13 and dummy schools, while introducing fee, safety and mental health rules. Public feedback is invited till Sept 4.
The Maharashtra government has proposed the Maharashtra Private Coaching Centers (Registration and Regulation) Act, 2026, aimed at bringing private coaching centres across the state under a formal regulatory framework. The proposed law focuses on registration, fees, student safety, mental wellbeing, counselling, working conditions and grievance redressal.
The proposed Act would apply to coaching or tuition centres providing coaching to more than 25 students, while also proposing a ban on integrated coaching or the “dummy school” model, prohibiting coaching classes from operating in basements and restricting the hiring of people against whom a cognizable offence has been registered.
The School Education and Sports Department has invited suggestions and objections from the public until 6 pm on September 4, 2026, before the draft is finalised.
