Al Falah University medical students worry about future: 'Paid Rs 90 lakh for course, hope things settle down'

Dr Umar un Nabi, the man who was allegedly behind the wheels of the ill-fated car that exploded outside Delhi's Red Fort on November 10, was an assistant professor at Al Falah Medical College.

Students from Al Falah University in Faridabad are anxious after a professor was identified as the Red Fort terror attack bomber and the founder was arrested.

"I hope things settle down in a few days because I believe I can be a good doctor and my parents are spending a fortune on my studies,” a fourth-year student at Al-Falah University's School of Medical Sciences & Research Centre told Times of India.

According to the report, the students are worried about the fate of their college and course, the association of the name with a terrorist module whose principal architects were three of their professors and the impact on their job prospects. Many are also worried about the huge loans their parents have taken.

A student pays nearly Rs 90 lakh over five years of the MBBS course which offers 200 seats. The National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) issued it a show cause notice over display expired accreditation statuses.

"Everyone is really worried right now because of what is going on. We are reading what is appearing in the media, trying to ignore all the anxieties and carry on with our normal routine," said the Kashmiri student quoted above.

A resident doctor, who has just completed her MBBS and is doing her internship on the campus, told TOI that says one of the reasons why medical seats at Al-Falah get taken up is the campus has its own hospital.
