Several branches of coaching institute FIITJEE in Delhi NCR and north-India have shut down due to the institute's financial crisis. The closure has left hundreds of parents protesting against the institute demanding refund of their fees. The crisis seems to have accelerated just after the end of the academic session for students appearing on January 22, 23 and 24 Session-1 of JEE Mains. The crisis in the coaching institute is a result of administrative and civic action that were taken against its branches for violating licensing and fire safety rules. Ghaziabad's district inspector of Schools Dharmendra Sharma had recently highlighted the fresh drive launched under UP Coaching Regulation Act, 2002, against unregistered institutes.
