The National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) has now issued a show-cause notice to Al-Falah University in Haryana’s Faridabad, days after it was revealed that the occupant of the car that exploded near Red Fort on Monday (November 12, 2025) was a junior doctor there.
The autonomous body of the University Grants Commission (UGC) issued a show-cause notice to the university on Wednesday, noting that it continued to advertise itself as an institute with a Grade A certification from the NAAC, even though this certification had expired.

The NAAC, in its notice to the Registrar of the university, said two of the university’s colleges — Al-Falah School of Engineering and Technology and the Al-Falah School of Education and Training — had been certified as Grade A in 2013 and 2011, respectively.
It noted that these certifications were valid till 2018 and 2016, respectively, following which neither of the colleges had volunteered for the Cycle-2 assessment and accreditation process of the NAAC. Despite this, the university website continued to show the colleges as having been graded by the accrediting authority.
