Assam Cabinet Approves Regulation for Coaching Institutes
On Tuesday, the Assam Cabinet approved the Assam Private Coaching Institutes (Control and Student Mental Health Safeguard) Rules, 2026. This new legislation mandates that coaching centers with a significant student population must register formally and comply with safety regulations.
The Chief Minister announced that registered coaching institutes will need to renew their registration each year. As part of this compliance, they are required to submit infrastructure safety certificates to ensure their facilities meet established safety standards.
The government expects the regulatory framework to bring greater accountability and uniformity to private coaching centres operating across the state.
