The Rajasthan Legislative Assembly has passed the Coaching Regulation Bill 2025, making registration mandatory for all coaching institutions. The bill aims to provide students with a better environment for stress-free education, safety, and transparency.
Jaipur: The Rajasthan government has provided significant relief to lakhs of students and their guardians who come to the state and from across the country for coaching. Jaipur, Kota, and Sikar, cities where thousands of students arrive annually to prepare for competitive examinations, are now set to implement a new regulatory law for their coaching industries. On September 3, 2025, the Rajasthan Coaching Centres (Control and Regulation) Bill 2025 was unanimously passed in the Rajasthan Legislative Assembly.
Introducing the bill in the assembly, Deputy Chief Minister Dr. Premchand Bairwa stated that this is not just a law, but a historic step that will determine the direction and state of education for future generations.
Coaching Centres Will Not Operate Without Registration
As per the new bill, no coaching centre will be allowed to operate without registration. The state government has set a minimum student number of 100 for registration, ensuring that only organized institutions with proper facilities will receive accreditation.
If an institution violates the rules, it will face a fine of ₹50,000 for the first offense and up to ₹2,00,000 for the second offense. Continued violations may lead to the cancellation of their registration. This will strengthen the trust of students and guardians and establish accountability for the institutions.
Focus on Students' Morale and Health
The most significant aspect of this bill is the mental health of students. In light of increasing incidents of suicide in coaching hubs like Kota, the government has made the appointment of a psychological counselor mandatory in every institution. Regular stress management sessions, counseling, and arrangements for communication with parents will also be required.
Additionally, helpline numbers will be issued in every district, and a centralized web portal will be created. Information about all coaching institutions will be made public on this portal, ensuring transparency and allowing guardians to understand the situation directly.
Significant Changes Made in Fines and Regulations
During the assembly discussions, some amendments were also made to the bill. Earlier, the penalty for the first irregularity found in coaching institutions was ₹2,00,000, and for the second offense, it was ₹5,00,000. However, after the new amendment, the fine for the first offense will be ₹50,000 and for the second offense, it will be ₹2,00,000.
Furthermore, the minimum number of students required for registration has been increased from 50 to 100. This will allow smaller and unorganized institutions to gradually come under the purview of the rules and provide better facilities to students.
Coaching Centres to Become Centres of Education and Values
Deputy Chief Minister Dr. Premchand Bairwa stated in the assembly that this bill is not just a law, but a step towards providing a safe and positive environment for students.
He added that the government desires coaching institutions to be more than just arenas for rankings and competition; they should also become centers of values and social ethics. Bairwa further said that this bill aligns with the National Education Policy 2020 and will emphasize skill development, innovation, and the holistic development of students.
Regulation Bill to Provide Better Facilities to Students
The coaching industry contributes significantly to Rajasthan's economy. Cities like Kota and Sikar are educational hubs for millions of students from across the country, and thousands of people are employed in this sector. Experts believe that the implementation of the Coaching Regulation Bill will not only provide better facilities to students but also make institutions more transparent and sensitive.
The state government claims that coaching institutions that comply with the rules will be encouraged. This will have a positive impact on both the quality of education and employment opportunities.
