Al-Falah University Under Intensifying Scrutiny as NAAC Accepts Apology Over False Accreditation

Twin regulatory-criminal inquiries now define the university’s immediate future.

Overview

  • NAAC officials say the university has removed outdated accreditation claims after calling them an oversight, with no further action planned at this time.
  • The NCMEI has issued a show-cause notice on Al-Falah’s minority status, with a hearing scheduled for December 4, according to reports citing officials.
  • The ED has arrested founder Jawad Ahmed Siddiqui in a PMLA case alleging diversion of roughly ₹415 crore in student receipts through related entities.
  • The blast investigation has moved forward with NIA custody of multiple Al-Falah medical faculty, while the NMC has removed four doctors from its register and the AIU has revoked the university’s membership.
  • Students report high anxiety over recognition and transfers as fees for the MBBS course run to about ₹90 lakh, even as a university representative told visiting parents the institution will not shut down.
