There are two aspects of services related to education --- One is Education services imparted by the educational institution and second services impparted by any service provider to a educational institute.

For the first part: Education services are exempt from levy of service tax as far as thay are imparting recognized courses / degrees and othe rspecified . A private coaching center is not covered under the above exemption.

Services rendered to a educational institute are exempt to limited extent which does not cover construction activities.
