Bihar first state to regulate coaching institutes

State passes law for mandatory registration of coaching institutes after incidents of duping

PTI | March 31, 2010



Bihar has become the first state in the country to enact laws for regulating coaching institutes.

In the wake of the violent protests by students charging the coaching institutes with duping them, the state government introduced the Bihar Coaching Institute (control and regulation) Bill 2010, which was adopted by the state assembly with voice votes on Tuesday evening.

According to state human resource minister Hari Narayan Singh, now it would be mandatory for all the coaching institutes to register themselves with the government which will be renewed every three years.

The coaching institutes would now be required to provide to the students a prospectus with course structure, fee structure besides qualification and experience of the teachers.

But any one teaching less than ten students would not come under its purview, Singh said.

It would be mandatory for the coaching institutes to meet the infrastructure standards and ensure transparency, the HRD minister said.
