Mumbai: The Maharashtra government has proposed a legislation to regulate private coaching centres in the state, making registration mandatory, capping classes at five hours a day and prescribing norms on fees, infrastructure, student safety, counselling and mental health.
The draft Maharashtra Private Coaching Centers (Registration and Regulation) Act, 2026, published by the School Education and Sports Department, seeks to bar coaching centres from enrolling children below 13 years and from making misleading promises about ranks or marks.
