The Karnataka Department of Pre-University Education has alerted parents and students about the risks associated with unapproved coaching centres posing as pre-university colleges. Following complaints, the department emphasized that these institutions often prevent students from attending regular classes while focusing on coaching for competitive exams such as NEET, JEE, and KCET. The advisory states that some colleges are conducting classes at locations not officially sanctioned by the department, which contravenes the Karnataka Education Act, 1983. Institutions found to be in violation face severe consequences, including the potential withdrawal of academic recognition. The department has urged parents to exercise caution and verify the legitimacy of colleges by checking the official website for approved locations, course offerings, and sanctioned intake. Verbal assurances regarding approvals or changes in academic activities should not be trusted, as formal notifications will only be made through official channels. Failure to adhere to these guidelines may lead to significant academic disruptions for students enrolled in these unapproved institutions.
