Ban on integration with schools and on "dummy school" arrangements

"Integration" is defined very widely — any agreement, arrangement, understanding, practice or mechanism, formal or informal, direct or indirect, that creates an operational, administrative, academic, financial or managerial connection between a recognised school and a coaching centre. No centre may operate on school or college premises. A school proved to be involved can be recommended for derecognition.

No batch segregation on academic performance; batches fixed by order of admission

Batch segregation on academic performance grounds shall not be done, as it leads to excessive pressure affecting mental health. Batches must be formed in the order of entry or admission and must not be changed until the course is completed.

Internal test results must be kept confidential

A coaching centre shall not make public the result of any assessment test it conducts. Results are to be used only for systematic improvement, and a student whose performance is deteriorating must be given counselling.
