The State has invited suggestions and objections on the draft Bill. This page sets out its major provisions in plain language.

Everything is compiled into one summary the authorities can read at a glance.
Every private coaching centre must register through a State online portal. Registration lasts three years and renewal must be started at least three months before expiry. Existing centres get six months from commencement. Every branch counts as a separate centre with its own application and fee.
A coaching centre may not enrol any student below thirteen years of age. Read with the definition of "Coaching", this covers academic tuition for more than 25 students but excludes counselling, sports, dance, theatre, painting and yoga.
Every centre must publish and keep updated: tutor qualifications and experience, courses offered, duration and hours, fees per course, physical facilities, the refund procedure and permissible refund amount, and the permitted batch strength for each course.
A centre may not promise or guarantee a rank or good marks to induce enrolment, and may not publish any misleading advertisement about the quality of coaching, the facilities offered, or the results procured by the centre or its students. "Misleading advertisement" carries its Consumer Protection Act, 2019 meaning.
Every centre must maintain detailed digital records of enrolled students — educational progress, aptitude and record of learning abilities — in the format prescribed by the Government, and must maintain such records for at least the past ten years from commencement of the Act.
