For the parents and NEET aspirants who spent a year wondering whether Al-Falah University in Faridabad would survive, the answer is now clear: all 200 MBBS seats are filled, and the campus is functioning normally under the Haryana government’s control.
The turnaround comes a year after the university was pulled into the investigation that followed the blast near Delhi’s Red Fort in November 2025, which killed 15 people. Officials told news agency PTI that every seat was allotted through the centralised counselling of Pt. Bhagwat Dayal Sharma University of Health Sciences, Rohtak — a transparent process that has restored confidence among students and parents.

How did all 200 MBBS seats get filled?
The university has 200 MBBS seats in total, and not one remained vacant this time. Officials told PTI that all seats were allotted through the centralised counselling process conducted by the Pandit Bhagwat Dayal Sharma University of Health Sciences in Rohtak. For students and parents who had been worried about the university’s future for the past year, a full house in the latest admission cycle is a big relief.
Last year, 196 of the 200 seats were filled. This year, the figure is 200 out of 200.
What changed for the faculty?
It is not only admissions that have improved — the faculty position has changed sharply too. According to the PTI report, around 80 per cent of faculty posts have been filled transparently through advertisements in newspapers. A uniform and improved salary structure has been introduced for all teachers, which has helped attract good professors.
Only those on the payroll who did not actually teach were removed, and a biometric attendance system has been started on the campus.
Who runs the university now?
The Haryana government took over the management of the university in March 2026, after the investigation was completed. On 21 March 2026, IAS officer Amit Kumar Agrawal was appointed administrator of the university. Ajay Ranga, Registrar of J.C. Bose University of Science and Technology, Faridabad, was given the additional charge of Vice-Chancellor.
Since the takeover, the government says teaching, admissions and administration have all been brought back in order on all three fronts.
Why did the university come under investigation?
After the blast near Delhi’s Red Fort in November 2025 killed 15 people, investigating agencies examined the university’s role. A doctor who was among those arrested was a teacher at Al-Falah University, PTI reported. The university’s founder-chairman, Jawad Ahmed Siddiqui, was arrested in money-laundering cases. The University Grants Commission (UGC) and the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) also found major irregularities in their review of the institution’s functioning.
The university was under the scanner of multiple agencies, including the National Investigation Agency (NIA) and the Directorate of Enforcement (ED). Legal proceedings against the founder-chairman and the investigation into the alleged terror module continue.
What security arrangements are in place on campus?
Strict security arrangements have been made on the campus. A police post has been set up inside the college campus and police personnel remain deployed at the medical college at all times. According to the PTI report, a verification process has also been started for everyone present on the campus, from staff to students.
According to the Daily Pioneer, around 2,563 kilograms of ammonium nitrate was also recovered during raids at Fatehpur Taga and Dhauj on 10 November.
What does this mean for students?
With all MBBS seats filled and most faculty posts in place, the university’s return to normal functioning signals that students’ trust is coming back. For students preparing for NEET, the Haryana government’s free Super-100 coaching scheme is also available. In Gurugram, subsidised treatment is available at the Sheetla Mata Hospital under the Ayushman scheme, while health department recruitments are also under way in Faridabad.
