Al-Falah Medical College fills all 150 MBBS seats even as terror-link probe deepens after the Red Fort blast

Faridabad's Al Falah Medical College has completed admissions for all 150 MBBS seats for the 2025-26 academic year, despite being under intense scrutiny following the tragic 10/11 Delhi car blast. Investigators suspect links between the college and the alleged terror module, with multiple doctors and staff arrested. The final stray round was conducted swiftly to fill the remaining 15 seats. The college is now under the lens of the NMC, NAAC, and the ED. Aspirants who have secured a seat face an environment of uncertainty as agencies probe the institution’s affairs.

In an unprecedented development that has sent ripples through the national medical education landscape, Al Falah Medical College in Faridabad has successfully completed the admission process for all 150 MBBS seats for the 2025-26 academic session. This completion, confirmed by college and counselling authorities, comes against the backdrop of a massive investigation that links the institution to the alleged terror module responsible for the tragic car blast near Red Fort, Delhi, on October 11 (10/11), which claimed 13 lives.

​The gravity of the situation is heightened by the reported involvement of college doctors and staff in the alleged conspiracy, turning the Faridabad campus into a focal point for central investigative agencies, including the Enforcement Directorate (ED), the National Investigation Agency (NIA), and the Delhi Police. Despite the serious allegations, the Haryana NEET-UG Counselling process proceeded to fill the final vacant seats in a swift stray round, demonstrating the high, often desperate, demand for MBBS seats in India. The completion of admissions places the newly enrolled students into an environment of profound uncertainty as the future of the institution itself hangs in the balance.

​The Admissions Process Amidst Intense Scrutiny

​The completion of the admissions process for all 150 seats at Al Falah Medical College provides a stark contrast to the ongoing criminal investigation. The college, an institution under Al Falah University, received approval from the National Medical Commission (NMC) to admit its first batch in 2019. The 2025-26 admissions were governed by the NEET-UG merit list, managed by the state counselling authority (P.B.D. Sharma University of Health Sciences, Rohtak).

• ​Filling the Vacancy Gap: After three initial counselling rounds (held between August 8 and October 22) left 15 MBBS seats vacant, the college sought to fill these seats via the final Stray Vacancy Round.
• ​Swift Final Round: Investigators informed the college on November 13 about the involvement of their staff in the Red Fort blast case. Remarkably, the final counselling round to allot the remaining 15 seats was held on the same day, November 13, just days after the tragic incident.
• ​High Demand Overrides Controversy: The fact that all remaining seats were successfully filled in the Stray Vacancy Round, with the provisional allotment list released on November 17, suggests that the intense competition for MBBS admissions outweighed the public and media scrutiny surrounding the college's alleged terror links.
• ​Joining Schedule: The newly admitted students were scheduled to complete their joining formalities and commence classes immediately, despite the institution being the base of operations for the suspected module, with investigators pinpointing "Room 13 of Building 17" as a key planning location.

​Multi-Agency Investigation and Institutional Risk

​The completion of the admission cycle does not signal the end of the turmoil for Al Falah Medical College. Multiple high-profile central agencies have launched comprehensive investigations into the institution's affairs, which extend beyond the terror module allegations to financial and accreditation irregularities. This places the institution's future, and consequently the academic careers of the admitted students, under a significant threat.

• ​NAAC Show-Cause Notice: The National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) issued a show-cause notice to the university, questioning its false claims of "Grade A certification" and demanding an explanation. The notice also questioned why NAAC should not recommend the withdrawal of recognition.
• ​NMC/UGC Scrutiny: The National Medical Commission (NMC) and the University Grants Commission (UGC) are actively monitoring the situation. The possibility of the government taking over the institution or the NMC withdrawing its recognition for the medical programs, while speculative, remains a considerable risk factor.
• ​Financial Irregularities and ED Probe: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) arrested the Al Falah group Chairman and is investigating allegations of money laundering and fraudulent claims regarding accreditation and UGC grants. These financial probes often lead to deeper regulatory action.
• ​Lapses in Verification: Investigations revealed significant internal lapses, including four doctors (allegedly part of the terror module) working without mandatory No-Objection Certificates (NOCs) from their respective State Medical Councils, raising questions about the university's internal verification and due diligence processes.

​Implications for Admitted MBBS Aspirants

​The 150 students who have successfully secured their seats in the 2025-26 batch now face a unique and distressing situation. While their admission is currently valid, the sustained investigative pressure on the college creates significant long-term academic and logistical concerns.

• ​Academic Uncertainty: The primary concern is the potential withdrawal of the NMC's Letter of Permission (LoP) or the government's intervention, which could severely disrupt or even suspend the academic session. While officials have stated it is "too early to speculate," the precedent exists for action against non-compliant or controversial institutions.
• ​Reputational Damage: The ongoing media scrutiny and the link to a terror case may cast a shadow over the degrees awarded by the institution, potentially impacting future career prospects, including placements and residency applications.
• ​Focus on Studies: Aspirants must focus intensely on their studies, recognizing that the validity of their future degree relies on the college maintaining its recognition throughout their five-year course. They will need to closely track official announcements from the NMC and the state counselling authorities (Rohtak University of Health Sciences).

​Conclusion

​The swift completion of MBBS admissions at Al Falah Medical College amid high-profile terror and fraud investigations presents a delicate challenge for both regulatory bodies and the newly admitted students. While the students have achieved their goal of securing a competitive MBBS seat through the NEET-UG counselling process, the college's future is subject to critical decisions by the NMC, NAAC, and investigative agencies. Aspirants must remain highly vigilant, prepared for potential governmental or regulatory intervention, as the pursuit of a medical career in this specific institution is now fraught with extraordinary uncertainty.
