The draft rules seek to address critical issues related to infrastructure, safety, and student welfare at these institutions.

The model rules were filed by Senior Advocate Siddhartha Dave, who was appointed as an amicus curiae (friend of the court) in this matter to assist the court.

Furthermore, model rules focus on establishing a competent authority in each district, headed by the District Magistrate, which would be responsible for the registration and regulation of private coaching institutes.
