class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Background<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The bill intends to ease the academic pressure on students, especially those enrolled in such institutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The decision has been made in light of the incident in which three students of a private test-prep institute in Kota recently died from suicide, allegedly due to academic pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The government will table the Rajasthan Private Educational Regulatory Authority Bill 2022 in the winter session which is likely to be held in January, 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Regulatory authority<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The bill proposes the establishment of a regulatory authority to prescribe standards for education in private institutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This authority will also regulate the fee structure and impose penalties for failure to comply with its orders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The bill was drafted by a five-member committee of academicians, sociologists and psychologists and submitted in August.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It seeks to prohibit private institutes from glorifying toppers, prescribes an aptitude test for admission and makes registration mandatory for all such institutes, even if they are only running online courses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The epicenter<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Kota is the center of India\u2019s test-prep business, estimated to be worth \u20b95,000 crore annually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students from all over the country arrive here in huge numbers after their Class X, and register in residential test-prep institutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They attend classes at these institutes which prepares them for their Class XII examination but more importantly, entrance examinations such as JEE and NEET.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The whole journey is stressful for the students which is made worse by the fact that they undertake it without their families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>No slowdown in numbers<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2018, at least 19 students in the city died by suicide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This was up significantly from 7 in 2017 and 17 in 2016.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus far this year 14 have already taken their own lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Other states<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>States such as Himachal Pradesh and Karnataka already have regulations in place for private educational institutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Himachal authority regulates the fee structure and seeks annual audit reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Karnataka authority has similar powers in regulating fee structure and admissions in higher education institutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Provisions of the bill<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Rajasthan government\u2019s draft bill proposes a compulsory aptitude test prior to the joining and regular sessions with psychologists for students suffering from mental stress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regular sessions with psychologists would be held for students as well as parents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The bill also says that private coaching institutes must have a career counseling cell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It calls for compulsory counselling sessions for students to de-stress them and prevent cases of suicide along with the installation of a 24&#215;7 helpline for both students and parents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Make fee structure public<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Further, a framework will be developed which would keep a check on the fee charged by coaching institutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It will be made compulsory for these institutes to publicly display details of the fee structure to avoid any fraudulent practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Predatory advertising<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The draft also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hindustantimes.com\/india-news\/rajasthan-bill-to-regulate-private-education-institutes-likely-to-be-tabled-during-state-s-winter-session-101671129853212.html?utm_campaign=fullarticle&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_source=inshorts\">says <\/a>that the authority will take steps to rein in malpractices of bogus advertising, false claims (number of students selected in a particular exam, name of faculty and others) of coaching centres,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The bill also provides an easy exit policy if a student wants to quit the course midway, with provision of refunds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A penalty may be imposed including
