The State has invited suggestions and objections on the draft Bill. This page sets out its major provisions in plain language. Verify your phone number once, then vote on each point, respond to a whole point or a single line of it, raise a point the draft has missed, and file your own written representation. Everything is compiled into one summary the authorities can read at a glance.
A weekly off is mandatory for students as well as tutors. No assessment test or examination may be held on the day after the weekly off. During important regional festivals, leave must be customised so students can connect with family.
A centre may not be registered or continue to operate unless it has adopted a counselling system. It must establish a mechanism for immediate intervention for students in distress, publish the names and availability of psychologists and counsellors to all students and parents, may appoint or hire trained counsellors, and must hold parent sessions on positive parenting and student mental health.
An aptitude test must be conducted to assess the student's capability, and the centre may convey a realistic expectation to parents and suggest a way forward. Students and parents must be told in writing that admission is no guarantee of success. Information about career options other than engineering and medicine must be provided.
No centre may discriminate against any tutor, non-teaching staff or student on grounds of religion, race, caste, sex, place of birth or physical disability. Equal educational opportunity must be provided to Divyang students. The building and surrounding premises must comply with the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016, and tutors must be sensitised regarding learning disabilities.
