Guwahati: On Friday, the Assam government presented the Assam Coaching schools (Control and Regulation) Bill, 2025 in the state Assembly to guarantee rigorous rule adherence, introduce openness in private coaching schools, and so contribute to the general welfare of pupils.

Ranoj Pegu, the minister of assamese education, presented the measure to the state assembly. This measure seeks to control private coaching facilities in order to guarantee aspirants of competitive tests get high-quality instruction.

The main ideas of the measure are mandatory registration: both new and existing institutions have to register within a certain period before they may operate. Terms such as “coaching institute,” “tutor,” and “registration” are precisely defined; Institutes have to provide details on curriculum, timetable, cost, facilities, personnel credentials, and course of business. Operational Norms: Institutes have to abide by guidelines for student space, competent personnel, safety, and avoidance of misleading claims.

Transparency in payments and student results is expected as well as mandated mental health seminars and counseling. Inclusivity: Institutes have to help underprivileged populations and provide handicap-friendly facilities. District authorities will monitor and enforce compliance under penalty for infractions; Registration and compliance conflicts will be handled by an appellate authority.

“The bill will ensure strict adherence to rules, bring transparency in private coaching institutes, and help in the general welfare of students,” Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said.

“The bill promotes accountability, safety, and inclusiveness in Assam’s coaching sector,” stated Minister of Assam Education Ranoj Pegu.

Conversely, the Assam Education Minister has proposed “The Assam Private Universities (Amendment) Bill, 2025” to the Assam Assembly.

The Bill calls for government inspection every three years, a ban on religious conversion activity, prohibition on private universities’ launching of new technical and medical courses, and required security clearance for sponsoring groups.

Regarding the Bongaigaon, Gurucharan, Jagannath Barooah, Nagaon, North Lakhimpur, Sibsagar, Swahid Kanaklata Baruah, and Kokrajhar Universities, the state Education Minister submitted eight amendment bills in the Assam Legislative Assembly.

These revisions try to enable the state government to name the first vice chancellor of every recently founded institution. Future Vice Chancellors shall thereafter be named by the Governor on the proposal of a committee consisting of nominations of the Governor, the Executive Council of the particular institution, and a nominee of the state government.

Following the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding during Advantage Assam 2.0, the Assam Education Minister also presented three bills in the Assam Assembly on Friday for founding three Private Universities in the state, namely, Maa Kamakhya University (Darrang), Edtech Skill University (Tinsukia) and Swami Vivekananda University (BTR).
