Only the following services provided to an educational institution are exempt:
- Transportation of students, faculty and staff;
- Catering, including any mid-day meals scheme sponsored by the Central Government, State Government or Union territory;
- Security or cleaning or house-keeping services performed in such educational institution;
- Services relating to admission to, or conduct of examination by, such institution; upto higher secondary:
Moreover, these services are exempt only when they are provided to an educational institution providing pre-school education or schools providing higher secondary education.
Therefore, in my opinion, GST is applicable. Rate would be 5%, which is the rate applicable for selling of space for advertisement in print media.
