Overview
- NAAC says Al-Falah University is neither accredited nor has it applied, noting that two constituent colleges’ Cycle-1 accreditations expired in 2016 and 2018.
- The notice orders immediate removal of NAAC claims from the university’s website and public materials and requires a response within seven days.
- NAAC asks why it should not recommend withdrawal of UGC recognition under Sections 2(f) and 12B and actions by NMC, NCTE, AICTE, and the Haryana government.
- UGC has sought a report on the recent incident, while investigators have searched the campus, questioned around 52 people, and reported seizing notebooks and chemical residues, with some outlets also reporting financial scrutiny.
- Three doctors linked to the university are in the blast probe that killed at least 12 people, with investigators focusing on building 17, room 13; the university denies broader ties and says its labs are used only for authorised training.
