UGC notice to Haryana's Al Falah University over 12(B) claims
Why it matters
The University Grants Commission (UGC) has taken action against Al Falah University in Haryana for allegedly making false claims about its recognition under Section 12(B) of the UGC Act. This recognition is crucial for universities to access central funding. The UGC has requested a detailed report from the university administration to clarify the situation. According to UGC records, Al Falah University is not recognized under Section 12(B), despite its website stating otherwise. Furthermore, the university has recently faced scrutiny from the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) for claiming an 'A' grade accreditation that expired in 2018. This situation raises concerns about the university's compliance with regulatory standards and its impact on funding and accreditation.
