Q572. Identify the incorrect statement regarding the guidelines issued by the Rajasthan Government to regulate coaching institutes in Kota.
Explanation
The Rajasthan government’s guidelines for Kota’s coaching institutes aim to reduce student stress through mandatory aptitude tests, prohibited Sunday classes, and regular psychological counseling.
