It functions as an independent Sunni Islamic seminary outside the Indian university accreditation system. Established in 1986 it is a Sunni institution for the training of Islamic scholars in India. It provides Islamic religious education and operates undergraduate and postgraduate religious study programmes. According to the institution, it became a member of the League of Islamic Universities, Cairo, Egypt, in 2010. However, the UGC, India's statutory authority for university recognition, does not list Darul Huda as a recognised university. The Mampuram Maqam website states that the shrine's administrative affairs are run under the aegis of the Darul Huda Islamic Academy Committee, and claims that the Jifri family handed over administration to Darul Huda in 1999 and later gave it authority through a registered document in 2005. Sayyid Sadiq Ali Shihab Thangal, the Kerala State President of the IUML, serves as president of the Managing Committee, while Bahaudheen Muhammed Nadwi is vice president and Haji U. Muhammad Shafi is general secretary.
