‘Absolutely wrong and misleading’: NAAC issues show cause notice to Al-Falah University over false accreditation claim

  • NAAC Wednesday sent a formal show-cause notice to Al-Falah University, Faridabad, dated November 12 and signed by Professor Ganesan Kannabiran, Director, NAAC, calling its accreditation claims `absolutely wrong and misleading`.
  • Records show the university was publicly advertising a Grade `A` for Al-Falah School of Engineering and Technology and the Department of Teacher Education despite accreditation expiring several years ago, and both had not volunteered for Cycle-2 A&A.
  • The notice lists seven pointed questions Al-Falah University must answer and orders immediate removal of NAAC accreditation details with a seven-day response deadline.
  • The NAAC Executive Committee sought reasons why legal or regulatory steps, including recommending the University Grants Commission withdraw recognition, should not be initiated and raised disqualification risks from future Assessment and Accreditation consideration.
  • The timing followed the university's public distancing from two doctors tied to separate probes, while NAAC warned the misrepresentations mislead parents, students and stakeholders.
