Chandigarh (Balwinder Singh): The Haryana Cabinet, under the chairmanship of Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini, has approved the ‘Haryana Private Coaching Institutes (Registration and Regulation) Rules, 2026’. The decision aims to establish a structured regulatory framework to ensure transparency, accountability, and a student-friendly environment across all existing and newly proposed private coaching centers in the state. Formulated under the Haryana Private Coaching Institutes Registration and Regulation Act, 2024, these rules align with the guidelines issued by the Government of India in January 2024.
Under the approved rules, mandatory online registration via a designated portal will be enforced for all private coaching centers preparing students for higher studies, professional courses, jobs, and competitive examinations. Applicants must submit a registration fee of Rs 10,000 electronically. The competent authority will verify the submissions within 30 days and issue a registration certificate valid for three years. Institutes seeking renewal must apply at least one month prior to expiration along with a renewal fee of Rs 5,000.
To maintain operational transparency, registered institutes are required to publish detailed information on their official websites and submit annual compliance reports. Mandatory disclosures include course structures, fee schedules, maximum batch capacities, tutor qualifications, and detailed infrastructure specifications. Furthermore, institutes must confirm structural safety, fire security certifications, building ownership or lease documents, and background checks for all teaching and non-teaching staff.
The framework emphasizes physical and academic infrastructure, requiring facilities such as fire safety measures, separate washrooms for male and female students, drinking water, first-aid assistance, parking, and accessible infrastructure for students with disabilities. Optional facilities like libraries, Wi-Fi, computer labs, hostels, and canteens must also be explicitly detailed. Crucially, the regulations mandate that coaching schedules must not overlap with regular school or institutional hours, ensuring that students’ formal education remains uninterrupted.
