The Bihar Coaching Institute (Control and Regulation) Act, 2010
This law regulates coaching institutes across Bihar by banning exorbitant fees and preventing the use of unfair agreement clauses. It primarily affects private coaching centers, fee structures, and related educational activities in the state. The Act aims to protect students from harassment by ensuring reasonable fees and banning aggressive collection practices, standardized agreements with one-sided terms, and unrestricted fee increments after intake. It mandates transparency through standardized fee schedules, limits fee increases to once per year at a maximum of five percent, establishes three tuitions totals per student per year, and provides authorities with power to penalize violations through fines up to five thousand rupees and cease business operations for rule-breaking coaching institutes, making it essential for student protection and fairness in Bihar's private education sector.
