The Assam government has issued a rule requiring all coaching institutes that enrol more than 50 students to register with the state authorities.
The education department of Assam announced a new regulation that obliges coaching centres with enrolments exceeding fifty students to obtain official registration. The move aims to bring greater transparency and oversight to the rapidly growing private tutoring sector in the state. Under the rule, institutes will need to submit detailed information about their student numbers, faculty, and infrastructure to the designated authority. The department has indicated that compliance will be monitored regularly, and non‑registered centres may face penalties. This policy reflects Assam's broader effort to standardise educational services and protect student interests.
The directive was released through a public notice, though specific implementation timelines were not disclosed in the initial announcement. Stakeholders, including institute owners and parents, are expected to seek clarification from the state education office as the registration process is rolled out.
Education analysts view the measure as a step toward curbing unregulated coaching practices that have proliferated across the region, potentially improving quality control and ensuring that institutions meet basic standards before admitting large numbers of learners.
