The CFA Institute filed a case, claiming that ICFAI infringed on its intellectual property rights. The issue was resolved in favor of ICFAI when a U.S. court vacated a default judgment against the university.[22]
In 2008, some ICFAI students were left uncertain after receiving notices regarding the potential cancellation of their exams, triggered by disputes over the recognition of certain programs. This caused confusion among students.[23]
