Kota coaching centres can now take routine tests but these conditions apply

Amidst rising student suicide cases in Kota, the district administration banned examinations at coaching centres in Kota in August for two months to provide mental support and security to the students staying there. Now, the administration has amended and issued six new directives aimed at regulating these tests and ensuring the well-being of students.

District Collector O P Bunkar, in a recent order, announced the immediate lifting of restrictions on routine tests in coaching institutes, as reported by PTI.

The new directives specify that coaching institutes must implement a 21-day gap between tests for students enrolled in regular courses. Additionally, students should be granted a day off following a test. For students who have completed their courses, a seven-day gap between tests is recommended.
