Al-Falah University Faces Minority Status Hearing as Parents Seek Assurances, Students Push Rebranding

Regulatory scrutiny now includes a December 4 NCMEI hearing on minority status.

Overview

  • Parents of MBBS students visited the Faridabad campus, submitted a memorandum seeking written guarantees on degree protection and continuity, and said faculty gave verbal assurances the college would not shut.
  • NCMEI issued a show-cause notice questioning the institution’s minority recognition, summoned the registrar and Haryana’s education secretary for a December 4 hearing, and sought original trust, governance, admissions and financial records.
  • NAAC served a show-cause over expired accreditation claims on the university website, AIU suspended membership over good-standing concerns, and the NMC removed several doctors linked to the case from its medical register.
  • The Enforcement Directorate arrested group chairman Jawad Ahmed Siddiqui on November 18 in a money-laundering probe and conducted searches across multiple locations, recovering cash, devices and financial documents.
  • Students reported ongoing classes but voiced fears of lasting stigma and potential barriers to higher studies, with some calling for the university to be renamed and alleging pressure not to speak publicly.
