Parents of students studying at Al-Falah Medical College in Faridabad have voiced serious concerns about the stability of the institution, which is currently under regulatory and security examination. Concerned families say the uncertainty has left them anxious about the future of their children’s medical degrees.

On Saturday, a group of parents submitted a formal representation to the university’s vice chancellor, asking for urgent clarity on what lies ahead for enrolled students. The appeal highlights fears over recent developments, including the possibility that the National Medical Commission (NMC) could withdraw recognition and that the Association of Indian Universities (AIU) may impose a suspension.

Rajnish, a parent from Delhi who visited the campus, told NDTV that families felt compelled to seek answers.

“We came here today because we were worried about the future of our students in this university. We met three of the professors as the VC and principal were busy with the investigation,” he said.

He added that faculty members tried to reassure them.

“We have been assured the university is safe and nothing will happen to the academic degree of the students. As a parent it is disturbing to get to know that the university in which our children is studying is under the lens because of involvement in terror related activities. The investigating agencies are doing their job. We will see what comes out of the investigation,” he said.

Parents also pointed to ongoing investigations involving individuals linked to the college. Authorities have earlier stated that doctors associated with the institution were part of a white-collar terror network. One of them later carried out a suicide bombing in Delhi’s Chandni Chowk, killing 13 people. These revelations, families say, have raised fresh doubts about the college’s stability.

The representation warns that the situation has caused “unprecedented disruption” for medical students, leaving their future uncertain. Parents are now demanding clear answers on academic continuity, exam schedules, and the validity of degrees awarded by the college.

Many families say they have spent years supporting their children through demanding coursework and have paid substantial fees, making the current uncertainty emotionally and financially distressing. Parents from several cities have signed the appeal, showing the extent of concern across batches.

As of now, the university administration and Al-Falah Medical College have not issued any official clarification. Parents say they may approach higher regulatory bodies if the institution does not respond soon.
