Red Fort blast: Al-Falah University gets show-cause from NAAC over 'false accreditation claims'

The National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) has issued a show-cause notice to Al Falah University — which is under the scanner following the Delhi blast — for displaying false certification on its website, officials said on Thursday.

The NAAC is an autonomous government body that evaluates and certifies the quality of higher education institutions such as colleges and universities.

In its show-cause notice, the NAAC said it had noted that the university, “which is neither accredited nor applied for accreditation by NAAC”, had publicly displayed on its website that some of its colleges are NAAC-certified.

The notice quoted the website as reading, “Al Falah University is an endeavour of Al Falah Charitable Trust, which has been running three colleges on the campus, namely Al Falah School of Engineering and Technology (since 1997, Graded A by NAAC), Brown Hill College of Engineering and Technology (since 2008), and Al Falah School of Education and Training (since 2006, Graded A by NAAC).”

“This is absolutely wrong and misleading the public, especially the parents, students and stakeholders,” the NAAC notice said.

The accreditation body has sought an explanation from the university and directed it to remove the portions on its website and other publicly available documents that claim false NAAC certification.

The accreditation for Al Falah School of Engineering and Technology expired in 2018, while that of Al Falah School of Education and Training expired in 2016, the notice said.

“The accreditation status of both the colleges has expired. Both the colleges have not yet volunteered for fresh Assessment and Accreditation process of the NAAC,” the notice stated.

According to its website, Al Falah University was established by the Haryana Legislative Assembly under the Haryana Private Universities Act. It started as an engineering college in 1997.

In 2013, the Al Falah Engineering College received A-category NAAC accreditation. In 2014, the Haryana government granted it university status. The Al Falah Medical College is also affiliated with the university.

According to several observers, in its early years, Al Falah University presented itself as an excellent alternative to Aligarh Muslim University and Jamia Millia Islamia for minority students pursuing quality education.

On Monday, a high-intensity blast ripped through a car near Red Fort in Delhi, killing 13 people and injuring several others, hours after the busting of a “white collar terror module” and the arrest of eight people, including three doctors. The arrested doctors were linked to Al Falah University.
