New admissions also pay a registration fee of ₹5,000, which is not refundable, and ₹4,500 for the winter uniform. The page lists the course as 10 to 12 months a year, following the NCERT curriculum. Batch start dates were not published as of 13 Nov 2026.
Admission and scholarships go through M-SAT, Matrix's scholarship and admission test. Its fee for Classes 6 to 10 is ₹300 (M-SAT page). The dates on that page carry no year, so confirm the 2026-27 dates with Matrix before you plan around them.
The age guideline
The Ministry of Education circulated guidelines for the regulation of coaching centres to the states on 16 January 2024 (PIB). As reported at the time, they say coaching centres should not enrol students below 16 years of age, or before the secondary school examination (EastMojo, 19 Jan 2024). We could not open the guidelines PDF itself, so that wording comes from press reports.
The guidelines are advice to the states. Education is on the concurrent list, and the Ministry asked the states to consider a suitable legal framework (PIB, 7 Feb 2024).
Rajasthan's law is the Rajasthan Coaching Centres (Control and Regulation) Act, 2025. Its passed text (PRS copy) has no minimum-age clause, and as of 13 Nov 2026 its start date has not been notified.
