ANSWER
MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT (DR. D. PURANDESWARI) (a) to (d): As of now, there is no law or regulation for regulating the functioning of private coaching and tuition centers. However, with a view to curb the undue and undesirable burden on the school going children and mushrooming of coaching institutions, various provisions have been made by the CBSE to ensure that reliance on private coaching institutions by the students is reduced. Some of these measures are as follows: (i) In the examination bye laws of CBSE under Rule 13 (1) and 13 (2), 75% attendance in an academic year has been made mandatory for the students to become eligible to appear in class X and class XII exams. (ii) To ensure effective class room transactions, the Board has prescribed for its affiliated schools take minimum hours of teaching in different topics in chapters. (iii) the Board has introduced continuous and comprehensive evaluation from class I to X in its affiliated schools for providing equal attention to scholastic and co-scholastic areas of learning. (iv) The Rule 39 of the affiliation bye laws of CBSE forbids teachers of such affiliated schools to undertake private or any other tuition without prior permission in writing of the Head of the Institution. (v) The school results have been factored into the admission process for the IITs by providing that only those students who scored a first class or equivalent in the 10+2 exam are eligible for admission to exam are eligible for admission to IITs. (vi) A student can write the JEE in the year in which he or she passes the 12th standard examination and / or in the following year. (vii) Those who join any of the IITs are not allowed to sit for the JEE again. Apart from the above, this Ministry has constituted a Committee of senior faculty of IITs under the Chairpersonship of Prof. D. Acharya, Director, IIT, Kharagpur to explore the possible alternative to the present IIT JEE/ AIEEE and other State Joint Entrance Examinations for admission to engineering programme in the country for reducing the burden and dependence of the students on coaching institutes.
