Scam Alert: Fake Coaching Se Bacho!

New policy ke naam par scams badh sakte hain. Savdhan raho!

Common Scams:

1. "Government Approved" Fake Claims - April 2026 se pehle koi registration valid nahi hai. Bihar Education Dept website par official list check karo
2. Advance Fee Pressure - "Fees badhne se pehle register karo" - policy mein fee cap hai, urgency fake hai
3. Fake Registration Certificates - Certificate par QR code scan karke verify karo
4. "Coaching Closing Sale" - "Band ho rahe hain, last chance" wali emotional blackmail - genuine institutes comply karenge

Red Flags:

• "100% selection guarantee" (illegal claim)
• Cash-only payment, receipt nahi dete
• Written fee agreement nahi dete
• "Last seat" pressure tactics
• Contact details chhupana

Safe Practice: April 2026 mein official registered list release hogi - usme listed coaching hi join karo. Written agreement + receipt mandatory lo.

FAQs

1. Kya existing students ko naye rules follow karne padenge?

Partially. Existing agreement valid rahega. Coaching institute ko 3 months mein comply karna hoga. Non-compliance par students ko 100% refund milega.

2. Online coaching platforms par bhi ye rules lagenge?

Abhi nahi. Current policy sirf physical coaching centers ke liye hai. Online platforms ke liye separate guidelines expected by end 2026.

3. 15-16 saal ke students coaching join kar sakte hain?

Competitive exam coaching (BPSC/BSSC) nahi. School-level tuition (10th/12th) par age restriction nahi hai. Foundation courses (14-16 years) available hain.

4. Fee cap se zyada charge kar sakte hain kya?

Nahi, bina permission ke. District-level Committee se special permission le sakti hai coaching (justify karna padega). Bina permission overcharge par fine + double refund.

5. Government college professors coaching mein padha sakte hain?

Nahi. Government job hai to private coaching mein part-time bhi nahi padha sakte. Retired professors kar sakte hain.
